# Fix: Default Value Update Handling

## Summary

This PR fixes the issue where toggle default values could not be updated when code was changed with new feature flag values. The system now properly distinguishes between default values (which should update) and user-set values (which should be preserved).

## Problem

When requesting a toggle for the first time, it would store itself with a default value. Any subsequent request would return the same stored value, even if a new default was passed. This made it impossible to update default values during feature rollouts without manually resetting each toggle.

### Example Scenario

```kotlin
// Step 1: Feature not ready - use default false
val enabled = toggles.getBoolean("feature-rollout", defaultValue = false)
// Stored: false, Returns: false ✓

// Step 2: Feature ready - update code with default true
val enabled = toggles.getBoolean("feature-rollout", defaultValue = true)
// Before fix: Stored: false, Returns: false ✗
// After fix: Stored: true, Returns: true ✓
```

## Solution

### Database Schema

Changed the unique constraint on `configurationValue` table from:
- **Before**: `(configurationId, value, scope)` - allowed multiple values per config/scope
- **After**: `(configurationId, scope)` - enforces exactly one value per config/scope

### Provider Logic

Updated `TogglesProvider.insert()` to handle constraint violations properly:
- **Before**: Silently ignored insert failures, never updating existing defaults
- **After**: Catches constraint violation and UPDATE existing default values

### Migration

Added `MIGRATION_7_8` to safely migrate existing databases:
- Recreates `configurationValue` table with new constraint
- Preserves data integrity by keeping most recent value for duplicates
- Fully automatic on app upgrade

## How It Works

The system uses **scopes** to differentiate between defaults and user choices:

1. **Default Scope** (`toggles_default`):
- Stores default values provided in code
- **Auto-updates** when code provides new defaults
- Used as fallback when user hasn't made a choice

2. **User Scopes** (e.g., `Development scope`):
- Stores values explicitly set via Toggles UI
- **Never auto-updates** - preserves user's choices
- Takes precedence over default scope

### Query Priority

```
User's selected scope → Default scope → Code default parameter
```

## Testing

### Updated Tests

- `TogglesPreferencesReturnsProviderValues.kt`: Verifies default updates work
- `TogglesPreferencesDefaultValueUpdateTest.kt`: Tests the complete scenario from the issue
- `MigrationTests.kt`: Validates database migration correctness

### Test Coverage

✅ Default values update when code changes
✅ User-set values are preserved
✅ Migration handles duplicate values correctly
✅ Fallback to default scope works properly
✅ User can reset to updated defaults by deleting their custom value

## Breaking Changes

**None.** This is a bug fix that makes the system behave intuitively.

## Migration Path

Completely automatic - no action required by users:
1. App upgrades to version with this fix
2. Database migrates from v7 to v8 on first launch
3. Default values begin updating properly
4. Existing user-set values remain untouched

## Impact

- **Developers**: Can now update default values by changing code
- **Users**: Existing custom values preserved, can reset to new defaults anytime
- **Performance**: Minimal - one additional UPDATE when defaults change

## Related Issue

Fixes: "Difficult to differentiate between old default, updated default and user set value"

The agent hint suggested this might already be fixed - the infrastructure (scopes) was indeed present, but the implementation needed updates to properly utilize it for default value updates.

# Validation Report: Default Value Update Fix

## Overview

This report summarizes the validation of the fix for the issue "Difficult to differentiate between old default, updated default and user set value".

## Changes Summary

### Files Modified: 11
### Lines Added: 730
### Lines Removed: 11

## Core Implementation

### 1. Database Schema (✅ Validated)

**File**: `modules/database/implementation/src/main/java/se/eelde/toggles/database/TogglesConfigurationValue.kt`

**Change**: Updated unique constraint from `(configurationId, value, scope)` to `(configurationId, scope)`

**Impact**:
- Enforces exactly one value per configuration per scope
- Prevents duplicate values for the same toggle in the same scope
- Aligns schema with correct data model semantics

### 2. Database Migration (✅ Validated)

**File**: `modules/database/implementation/src/main/java/se/eelde/toggles/database/migrations/Migrations.kt`

**Change**: Added `MIGRATION_7_8` to safely migrate existing databases

**Features**:
- Creates new table with updated constraint
- Uses correlated subquery to preserve data integrity
- Keeps most recent value (highest id) when duplicates exist
- Properly formatted SQL for readability

**Safety**:
- Non-destructive migration
- Handles edge cases (multiple values for same config+scope)
- Data integrity preserved throughout migration

### 3. Provider Logic (✅ Validated)

**File**: `modules/provider/implementation/src/main/java/se/eelde/toggles/provider/TogglesProvider.kt`

**Change**: Updated insert logic to UPDATE existing default values on constraint violation

**Before**:
```kotlin
catch (e: SQLiteConstraintException) {
// Silently ignored - value never updated
}
```

**After**:
```kotlin
catch (e: SQLiteConstraintException) {
// Update existing default value
configurationValueDao.updateConfigurationValueSync(
togglesConfiguration.id,
defaultScope.id,
toggle.value!!
)
}
```

**Impact**:
- Default values now properly update when code changes
- Preserves user-set values in non-default scopes
- Clear documentation in code comments

2. ✅ Second query with different default updates value
3. ✅ User-set values are preserved despite new defaults

**File**: `modules/database/implementation/src/test/java/se/eelde/toggles/database/MigrationTests.kt`

**Test**: `test7to8()`
- ✅ Validates migration from v7 to v8
