fix: harden daily local backup retention, naming, and failure feedback - #1329
Conversation
- keep the snapshot just written and rank future-dated backups last - millisecond backup names published by hard link so none is overwritten; legacy names still recognized - report localBackupFailed from Initialize and warn in settings - show a failed-load state with Retry in the local backup card

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.Document the scheduled backup call accurately.
The scheduled check calls
createBackup(staged, this.abortController.signal), notcreateBackup(). State that it supplies a staging path and cancellation signal. As per coding guidelines, “Verify every behavioral claim against code, tests, or configuration before you write it.”Source: Coding guidelines

Review comments at @frontend/src/lib/i18n/messages/it.json:
- Line 2024: Update the initializeLocalBackupFailed message to refer to the
backup made before the reset, replacing the wording that identifies it as
preceding a restore while preserving the rest of the warning.
Review comments at @frontend/src/lib/i18n/messages/zh-tw.json:
- Line 2024: Update the initializeLocalBackupFailed message in the zh-TW
translations to clearly identify the pre-reset backup location as the
application data folder, while preserving the warning’s existing meaning.

Intent
Verify these review findings on the daily local backup feature (merged in #1303) and, if true, fix them:
main/services/local-backup.tsaround line 166): with five future-dated backups in the folder, the service creates today's backup and immediately prunes it as the oldest. Retention must keep the newly completed snapshot when existing timestamps are ahead of the clock.main/services/local-backup.tsaround line 91): scheduled backups and Initialize retention share one-second-precision filenames, so two snapshots created in the same second overwrite each other.main/routes/database-tools.tsaround line 282):retainBackupLocally()can returnnull, but the result is ignored, so Initialize returnssuccess: truewith no warning even when no external copy was kept. Return and display a backup warning after the committed reset (do not report the reset itself as failed).frontend/src/components/settings/LocalBackupCard.tsxaround line 31): a transient failure leavesstatusnull and removes the whole card, including its opt-out control. Show a failed-load state with Retry.What Changed
main/services/local-backup.tswith millisecond-precision filenames (flo-backup-<UTC timestamp with ms>Z.db, while still recognizing legacy second-precision names), link each snapshot under the first free monotonic timestamp so concurrent or back-to-back writes never overwrite existing files, and rank future-dated files last while always retaining the newly written snapshot during pruning.localBackupFailedfromPOST /api/db-tools/initializewhenretainBackupLocally()returnsnullwhile local backups are enabled, and display a localized warning toast on the Settings page without failing the committed database reset.LocalBackupCardwhenGET /api/db-tools/local-backupfails instead of hiding the card, and update documentation, locale messages, andtests/local-backup.test.ts.Risk Assessment
✅ Low: The changes cleanly satisfy all four local-backup hardening requirements and resolve the Round 1 collision-timestamp and retry-state issues with focused test coverage.
Testing
Ran
npm run test:local-backup,npm run test:translations, andnpm run test:database-tools-api, then built the backend and static frontend and drove all five scenarios live against an isolated FloCafe server instance and headless Chromium browser, capturing UI screenshots (local-backup-card-load-failed.png,local-backup-card-recovered-and-toggled.png,initialize-local-backup-warning-toast.png) and a structured verification log (live-verification-report.json); all checks and live scenarios passed.Evidence: Live verification report (clock skew retention, same-ms burst, UI retry, and initialize backup warning)

main/services/local-backup.ts:124- When multiple backups are published within the same millisecond,publishBackup(main/services/local-backup.ts:124) incrementsstamppastDate.now()to find a free filename, producing a backup whose parsed timestamp is greater than wall-clockDate.now(). Until the wall clock catches up tostamp, the sibling consumers ofnowMstreat that newly created backup as a future-dated clock-skew file:listLocalBackups(main/services/local-backup.ts:58, line 66a.time > nowMs) sorts it last behind older backups;pruneLocalBackups(main/services/local-backup.ts:93) only rescues the singlejustWrittenfile and deletes an immediately preceding same-millisecond backup (Date.now() + 1) ahead of months-old backups (which also makes the three synchronous copies attests/local-backup.test.ts:186-203fail when they execute in the same millisecond);getLastLocalBackupAt(main/services/local-backup.ts:76) returns an older backup's timestamp; andisLocalBackupDue(main/services/local-backup.ts:81, line 84last > nowMs) treats the fresh backup as due again when no older backup is present. Also, if more thanLOCAL_BACKUP_RETENTIONbackups are written in the same millisecond and the initialDate.now()slot is pruned, starting the nextpublishBackuploop at rawDate.now()reuses the pruned older timestamp instead of advancing monotonically.
