Feature: specs/002-notes-only-backup
Date: 2025-12-28
Status: ✅ COMPLETE
Successfully implemented a simplified notes-only backup feature for Fellow.app that removes all dependencies on meetings, workspaces, action items, and participants. The implementation focuses exclusively on backing up notes with complete metadata to a standalone MySQL database schema.
- ✅ T001-T005: Database schema simplification, requirements verification, environment configuration
- ✅ T006-T015: Complete service layer refactoring
- Simplified Note model (removed meeting_id, added author_name)
- Removed unused models (Meeting, Workspace, ActionItem, Participant)
- Refactored API client to only use POST /api/v1/notes endpoint
- Simplified database service with notes-only operations
- Refactored backup orchestration for notes-only workflow
- Updated CLI with simplified commands
- ✅ T016-T024: Full backup functionality
- Pagination loop for POST /api/v1/notes
- Note parsing and model mapping
- Batch upsert operations
- Progress indicators
- Per-note error handling
- Rate limiting with exponential backoff
- Structured logging
- CLI integration with proper exit codes
- ✅ T025-T031: Incremental backup functionality
- Last backup timestamp query (MAX(fellow_updated_at))
- Incremental mode detection
- updated_after parameter handling
- Backup metadata storage
- Optimized upsert logic
- New vs updated note differentiation
- ✅ T032-T038: Comprehensive reporting
- Statistics tracking (total, new, updated, errors)
- Summary report generation
- JSON output format
- Error detail collection
- Backup metadata persistence
- ✅ T039-T046: Documentation and validation
- Updated README.md for notes-only functionality
- Verified quickstart examples
- UTF-8 encoding validation
- Enhanced database error messages
- CLI argument validation
- Schema validation
Total: 46/46 tasks completed (100%)

- Notes-Only Backup: Exclusively backs up notes via POST /api/v1/notes
- Standalone Storage: No foreign keys; complete metadata embedded in notes table
- Incremental Sync: Uses fellow_updated_at for efficient updates
- Rate Limiting: Exponential backoff with retry logic
- Progress Tracking: Real-time progress and structured logging
- Error Resilience: Per-note error handling continues processing
- Reporting: Comprehensive summary with counts and error details
- JSON Output: Machine-readable output for scripting
- UTF-8 Support: Full Unicode (utf8mb4) for international content
- Dry Run Mode: Preview without database changes
Before:
- 6 tables (workspaces, meetings, participants, meeting_participants, notes, action_items)
- Complex foreign key relationships
- Multi-entity orchestration
After:
- 2 tables (notes, backup_metadata)
- No foreign keys
- Single entity focus

✅ Schema structure validated (simplified tables)
✅ Import statements resolve correctly
✅ Service layer refactoring complete
✅ All code removal executed (meetings, workspaces, action items)
- ✅ All notes captured with complete metadata
- ✅ Incremental backup functional
- ✅ Rate limiting with exponential backoff
- ✅ Per-note error isolation
- ✅ Progress indicators and logging
- ✅ Summary reports with counts
- ✅ UTF-8 encoding support
- ✅ Dry run mode
