Strapi Foundation

Use when porting Strapi's DB-agnostic database kernel — knex-compiling query-builder state machine, lifecycle-hooked write pipeline with compensating rollback, per-subscriber hook-state threading, bounded identifier shortening, N+1-free batch populate, connect-order topological sorting, anyToOne relinking with document-sibling exclusion, hash-gated schema sync with 3-way DDL diffing, constraint-safe alter ladders, exactly-once migration runner, dual-stream user/internal migration providers, row-number deep-sort wrapping with virtual status ranking sort, three-pass metadata loading with preset-name skip, morphOne reverse-link cascade deletes, fixed-order streaming transfer stages with skip/cancel/rollback, stream-replacing progress trackers with pre-start totals, index-difference flow state machines over WebSocket step protocols, uuid dedup-replay idempotent dispatch, and init-echo binary wire negotiation.

Strapi: database-kernel foundation

Foundation contract

This is a cold, source-specific foundation, not an operational procedure. It is historical, revision-pinned evidence rather than timeless guidance. Current project source, tests, requirements, and runtime behavior outrank this projection and decide what ships.

Provenance and revision

Source record: strapi; portable upstream identity, license, coverage caveats, and retrieval history are preserved in the index.
Recorded revision: develop@1fd9d80ad5f0a2c97d09ce7529f5cd9fdb91ca2d.
Full provenance, coverage caveats, boundaries, and preserved evidence: references/index.md.

Topic map

Representative topics: metadata-load-models; query-builder-knex-compilation; status-sort-expression; deep-sort-wrap; entity-manager-write-pipeline; lifecycles-provider; identifier-shortener; batch-populate-apply.
Scope and retrieval questions: references/index.md#use-this-for.
Complete capsule chooser: references/index.md#load-the-matching-source-dump.
Detailed grouped map: references/index.md#capsule-map.
Source limitations and portability boundaries: references/index.md#boundaries.

Retrieval

Open the index, choose one capsule matching the active question, and load only that capsule. Revalidate its cited source and revision before relying on it. Do not bulk-load the inventory, treat historical claims as current truth, or apply this foundation as a procedure.
