feat: implement session persistence for v2.19.0 (Phase 1 + Phase 2)

Phase 1 - Lazy Session Restoration (REQ-1, REQ-2, REQ-8):
- Add onSessionNotFound hook for restoring sessions from external storage
- Implement idempotent session creation to prevent race conditions
- Add session ID validation for security (prevent injection attacks)
- Comprehensive error handling (400/408/500 status codes)
- 13 integration tests covering all scenarios

Phase 2 - Session Management API (REQ-5):
- getActiveSessions(): Get all active session IDs
- getSessionState(sessionId): Get session state for persistence
- getAllSessionStates(): Bulk session state retrieval
- restoreSession(sessionId, context): Manual session restoration
- deleteSession(sessionId): Manual session termination
- 21 unit tests covering all API methods

Benefits:
- Sessions survive container restarts
- Horizontal scaling support (no session stickiness needed)
- Zero-downtime deployments
- 100% backwards compatible

Implementation Details:
- Backend methods in http-server-single-session.ts
- Public API methods in mcp-engine.ts
- SessionState type exported from index.ts
- Synchronous session creation and deletion for reliable testing
- Version updated from 2.18.10 to 2.19.0

Tests: 34 passing (13 integration + 21 unit)
Coverage: Full API coverage with edge cases
Security: Session ID validation prevents SQL/NoSQL injection and path traversal

+# Telemetry Data Pruning & Aggregation Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide provides a complete solution for managing n8n-mcp telemetry data in Supabase to stay within the 500 MB free tier limit while preserving valuable insights for product development.
+
+## Current Situation
+
+- **Database Size**: 265 MB / 500 MB (53% of limit)
+- **Growth Rate**: 7.7 MB/day (54 MB/week)
+- **Time Until Full**: ~17 days
+- **Total Events**: 641,487 events + 17,247 workflows
+
+### Storage Breakdown
+
+| Event Type | Count | Size | % of Total |
+|------------|-------|------|------------|
+| `tool_sequence` | 362,704 | 96 MB | 72% |
+| `tool_used` | 191,938 | 28 MB | 21% |
+| `validation_details` | 36,280 | 14 MB | 11% |
+| `workflow_created` | 23,213 | 4.5 MB | 3% |
+| Others | ~26,000 | ~3 MB | 2% |
+
+## Solution Strategy
+
+**Aggregate → Delete → Retain only recent raw events**
+
+### Expected Results
+
+| Metric | Before | After | Improvement |
+|--------|--------|-------|-------------|
+| Database Size | 265 MB | ~90-120 MB | **55-65% reduction** |
+| Growth Rate | 7.7 MB/day | ~2-3 MB/day | **60-70% slower** |
+| Days Until Full | 17 days | **Sustainable** | Never fills |
+| Free Tier Usage | 53% | ~20-25% | **75-80% headroom** |
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Execute the SQL Migration
+
+Open Supabase SQL Editor and run the entire contents of `supabase-telemetry-aggregation.sql`:
+
+```sql
+-- Copy and paste the entire supabase-telemetry-aggregation.sql file
+-- Or run it directly from the file
+```
+
+This will create:
+- 5 aggregation tables
+- Aggregation functions
+- Automated cleanup function
+- Monitoring functions
+- Scheduled cron job (daily at 2 AM UTC)
+
+### Step 2: Verify Cron Job Setup
+
+Check that the cron job was created successfully:
+
+```sql
+-- View scheduled cron jobs
+SELECT
+    jobid,
+    schedule,
+    command,
+    nodename,
+    nodeport,
+    database,
+    username,
+    active
+FROM cron.job
+WHERE jobname = 'telemetry-daily-cleanup';
+```
+
+Expected output:
+- Schedule: `0 2 * * *` (daily at 2 AM UTC)
+- Active: `true`
+
+### Step 3: Run Initial Emergency Cleanup
+
+Get immediate space relief by running the emergency cleanup:
+
+```sql
+-- This will aggregate and delete data older than 7 days
+SELECT * FROM emergency_cleanup();
+```
+
+Expected results:
+```
+action                              | rows_deleted | space_freed_mb
+------------------------------------+--------------+----------------
+Deleted non-critical events > 7d    | ~284,924     | ~52 MB
+Deleted error events > 14d          | ~2,400       | ~0.5 MB
+Deleted duplicate workflows         | ~8,500       | ~11 MB
+TOTAL (run VACUUM separately)       | 0            | ~63.5 MB
+```
+
+### Step 4: Reclaim Disk Space
+
+After deletion, reclaim the actual disk space:
+
+```sql
+-- Reclaim space from deleted rows
+VACUUM FULL telemetry_events;
+VACUUM FULL telemetry_workflows;
+
+-- Update statistics for query optimization
+ANALYZE telemetry_events;
+ANALYZE telemetry_workflows;
+```
+
+**Note**: `VACUUM FULL` may take a few minutes and locks the table. Run during off-peak hours if possible.
+
+### Step 5: Verify Results
+
+Check the new database size:
+
+```sql
+SELECT * FROM check_database_size();
+```
+
+Expected output:
+```
+total_size_mb | events_size_mb | workflows_size_mb | aggregates_size_mb | percent_of_limit | days_until_full | status
+--------------+----------------+-------------------+--------------------+------------------+-----------------+---------
+202.5         | 85.2           | 35.8              | 12.5               | 40.5             | ~95             | HEALTHY
+```
+
+## Daily Operations (Automated)
+
+Once set up, the system runs automatically:
+
+1. **Daily at 2 AM UTC**: Cron job runs
+2. **Aggregation**: Data older than 3 days is aggregated into summary tables
+3. **Deletion**: Raw events are deleted after aggregation
+4. **Cleanup**: VACUUM runs to reclaim space
+5. **Retention**:
+   - High-volume events: 3 days
+   - Error events: 30 days
+   - Aggregated insights: Forever
+
+## Monitoring Commands
+
+### Check Database Health
+
+```sql
+-- View current size and status
+SELECT * FROM check_database_size();
+```
+
+### View Aggregated Insights
+
+```sql
+-- Top tools used daily
+SELECT
+    aggregation_date,
+    tool_name,
+    usage_count,
+    success_count,
+    error_count,
+    ROUND(100.0 * success_count / NULLIF(usage_count, 0), 1) as success_rate_pct
+FROM telemetry_tool_usage_daily
+ORDER BY aggregation_date DESC, usage_count DESC
+LIMIT 50;
+
+-- Most common tool sequences
+SELECT
+    aggregation_date,
+    tool_sequence,
+    occurrence_count,
+    ROUND(avg_sequence_duration_ms, 0) as avg_duration_ms,
+    ROUND(100 * success_rate, 1) as success_rate_pct
+FROM telemetry_tool_patterns
+ORDER BY occurrence_count DESC
+LIMIT 20;
+
+-- Error patterns over time
+SELECT
+    aggregation_date,
+    error_type,
+    error_context,
+    occurrence_count,
+    affected_users,
+    sample_error_message
+FROM telemetry_error_patterns
+ORDER BY aggregation_date DESC, occurrence_count DESC
+LIMIT 30;
+
+-- Workflow creation trends
+SELECT
+    aggregation_date,
+    complexity,
+    node_count_range,
+    has_trigger,
+    has_webhook,
+    workflow_count,
+    ROUND(avg_node_count, 1) as avg_nodes
+FROM telemetry_workflow_insights
+ORDER BY aggregation_date DESC, workflow_count DESC
+LIMIT 30;
+
+-- Validation success rates
+SELECT
+    aggregation_date,
+    validation_type,
+    profile,
+    success_count,
+    failure_count,
+    ROUND(100.0 * success_count / NULLIF(success_count + failure_count, 0), 1) as success_rate_pct,
+    common_failure_reasons
+FROM telemetry_validation_insights
+ORDER BY aggregation_date DESC, (success_count + failure_count) DESC
+LIMIT 30;
+```
+
+### Check Cron Job Execution History
+
+```sql
+-- View recent cron job runs
+SELECT
+    runid,
+    jobid,
+    database,
+    status,
+    return_message,
+    start_time,
+    end_time
+FROM cron.job_run_details
+WHERE jobid = (SELECT jobid FROM cron.job WHERE jobname = 'telemetry-daily-cleanup')
+ORDER BY start_time DESC
+LIMIT 10;
+```
+
+## Manual Operations
+
+### Run Cleanup On-Demand
+
+If you need to run cleanup outside the scheduled time:
+
+```sql
+-- Run with default 3-day retention
+SELECT * FROM run_telemetry_aggregation_and_cleanup(3);
+VACUUM ANALYZE telemetry_events;
+
+-- Or with custom retention (e.g., 5 days)
+SELECT * FROM run_telemetry_aggregation_and_cleanup(5);
+VACUUM ANALYZE telemetry_events;
+```
+
+### Emergency Cleanup (Critical Situations)
+
+If database is approaching limit and you need immediate relief:
+
+```sql
+-- Step 1: Run emergency cleanup (7-day retention)
+SELECT * FROM emergency_cleanup();
+
+-- Step 2: Reclaim space aggressively
+VACUUM FULL telemetry_events;
+VACUUM FULL telemetry_workflows;
+ANALYZE telemetry_events;
+ANALYZE telemetry_workflows;
+
+-- Step 3: Verify results
+SELECT * FROM check_database_size();
+```
+
+### Adjust Retention Policy
+
+To change the default 3-day retention period:
+
+```sql
+-- Update cron job to use 5-day retention instead
+SELECT cron.unschedule('telemetry-daily-cleanup');
+
+SELECT cron.schedule(
+    'telemetry-daily-cleanup',
+    '0 2 * * *', -- Daily at 2 AM UTC
+    $$
+    SELECT run_telemetry_aggregation_and_cleanup(5); -- 5 days instead of 3
+    VACUUM ANALYZE telemetry_events;
+    VACUUM ANALYZE telemetry_workflows;
+    $$
+);
+```
+
+## Data Retention Policies
+
+### Raw Events Retention
+
+| Event Type | Retention | Reason |
+|------------|-----------|--------|
+| `tool_sequence` | 3 days | High volume, low long-term value |
+| `tool_used` | 3 days | High volume, aggregated daily |
+| `validation_details` | 3 days | Aggregated into insights |
+| `workflow_created` | 3 days | Aggregated into patterns |
+| `session_start` | 3 days | Operational data only |
+| `search_query` | 3 days | Operational data only |
+| `error_occurred` | **30 days** | Extended for debugging |
+| `workflow_validation_failed` | 3 days | Captured in aggregates |
+
+### Aggregated Data Retention
+
+All aggregated data is kept **indefinitely**:
+- Daily tool usage statistics
+- Tool sequence patterns
+- Workflow creation trends
+- Error patterns and frequencies
+- Validation success rates
+
+### Workflow Retention
+
+- **Unique workflows**: Kept indefinitely (one per unique hash)
+- **Duplicate workflows**: Deleted after 3 days
+- **Workflow metadata**: Aggregated into daily insights
+
+## Intelligence Preserved
+
+Even after aggressive pruning, you still have access to:
+
+### Long-term Product Insights
+- Which tools are most/least used over time
+- Tool usage trends and adoption curves
+- Common workflow patterns and complexities
+- Error frequencies and types across versions
+- Validation failure patterns
+
+### Development Intelligence
+- Feature adoption rates (by day/week/month)
+- Pain points (high error rates, validation failures)
+- User behavior patterns (tool sequences, workflow styles)
+- Version comparison (changes in usage between releases)
+
+### Recent Debugging Data
+- Last 3 days of raw events for immediate issues
+- Last 30 days of error events for bug tracking
+- Sample error messages for each error type
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Cron Job Not Running
+
+Check if pg_cron extension is enabled:
+
+```sql
+-- Enable pg_cron
+CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_cron;
+
+-- Verify it's enabled
+SELECT * FROM pg_extension WHERE extname = 'pg_cron';
+```
+
+### Aggregation Functions Failing
+
+Check for errors in cron job execution:
+
+```sql
+-- View error messages
+SELECT
+    status,
+    return_message,
+    start_time
+FROM cron.job_run_details
+WHERE jobid = (SELECT jobid FROM cron.job WHERE jobname = 'telemetry-daily-cleanup')
+    AND status = 'failed'
+ORDER BY start_time DESC;
+```
+
+### VACUUM Not Reclaiming Space
+
+If `VACUUM ANALYZE` isn't reclaiming enough space, use `VACUUM FULL`:
+
+```sql
+-- More aggressive space reclamation (locks table)
+VACUUM FULL telemetry_events;
+```
+
+### Database Still Growing Too Fast
+
+Reduce retention period further:
+
+```sql
+-- Change to 2-day retention (more aggressive)
+SELECT * FROM run_telemetry_aggregation_and_cleanup(2);
+```
+
+Or delete more event types:
+
+```sql
+-- Delete additional low-value events
+DELETE FROM telemetry_events
+WHERE created_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '3 days'
+    AND event IN ('session_start', 'search_query', 'diagnostic_completed', 'health_check_completed');
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Cron Job Execution Time
+
+The daily cleanup typically takes:
+- **Aggregation**: 30-60 seconds
+- **Deletion**: 15-30 seconds
+- **VACUUM**: 2-5 minutes
+- **Total**: ~3-7 minutes
+
+### Query Performance
+
+All aggregation tables have indexes on:
+- Date columns (for time-series queries)
+- Lookup columns (tool_name, error_type, etc.)
+- User columns (for user-specific analysis)
+
+### Lock Considerations
+
+- `VACUUM ANALYZE`: Minimal locking, safe during operation
+- `VACUUM FULL`: Locks table, run during off-peak hours
+- Aggregation functions: Read-only queries, no locking
+
+## Customization
+
+### Add Custom Aggregations
+
+To track additional metrics, create new aggregation tables:
+
+```sql
+-- Example: Session duration aggregation
+CREATE TABLE telemetry_session_duration_daily (
+    id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
+    aggregation_date DATE NOT NULL,
+    avg_duration_seconds NUMERIC,
+    median_duration_seconds NUMERIC,
+    max_duration_seconds NUMERIC,
+    session_count INTEGER,
+    created_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW(),
+    UNIQUE(aggregation_date)
+);
+
+-- Add to cleanup function
+-- (modify run_telemetry_aggregation_and_cleanup)
+```
+
+### Modify Retention Policies
+
+Edit the `run_telemetry_aggregation_and_cleanup` function to adjust retention by event type:
+
+```sql
+-- Keep validation_details for 7 days instead of 3
+DELETE FROM telemetry_events
+WHERE created_at < (NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days')
+    AND event = 'validation_details';
+```
+
+### Change Cron Schedule
+
+Adjust the execution time if needed:
+
+```sql
+-- Run at different time (e.g., 3 AM UTC)
+SELECT cron.schedule(
+    'telemetry-daily-cleanup',
+    '0 3 * * *', -- 3 AM instead of 2 AM
+    $$ SELECT run_telemetry_aggregation_and_cleanup(3); VACUUM ANALYZE telemetry_events; $$
+);
+
+-- Run twice daily (2 AM and 2 PM)
+SELECT cron.schedule(
+    'telemetry-cleanup-morning',
+    '0 2 * * *',
+    $$ SELECT run_telemetry_aggregation_and_cleanup(3); $$
+);
+
+SELECT cron.schedule(
+    'telemetry-cleanup-afternoon',
+    '0 14 * * *',
+    $$ SELECT run_telemetry_aggregation_and_cleanup(3); $$
+);
+```
+
+## Backup & Recovery
+
+### Before Running Emergency Cleanup
+
+Create a backup of aggregation queries:
+
+```sql
+-- Export aggregated data to CSV or backup tables
+CREATE TABLE telemetry_tool_usage_backup AS
+SELECT * FROM telemetry_tool_usage_daily;
+
+CREATE TABLE telemetry_patterns_backup AS
+SELECT * FROM telemetry_tool_patterns;
+```
+
+### Restore Deleted Data
+
+Raw event data cannot be restored after deletion. However, aggregated insights are preserved indefinitely.
+
+To prevent accidental data loss:
+1. Test cleanup functions on staging first
+2. Review `check_database_size()` before running emergency cleanup
+3. Start with longer retention periods (7 days) and reduce gradually
+4. Monitor aggregated data quality for 1-2 weeks
+
+## Monitoring Dashboard Queries
+
+### Weekly Growth Report
+
+```sql
+-- Database growth over last 7 days
+SELECT
+    DATE(created_at) as date,
+    COUNT(*) as events_created,
+    COUNT(DISTINCT event) as event_types,
+    COUNT(DISTINCT user_id) as active_users,
+    ROUND(SUM(pg_column_size(telemetry_events.*))::NUMERIC / 1024 / 1024, 2) as size_mb
+FROM telemetry_events
+WHERE created_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days'
+GROUP BY DATE(created_at)
+ORDER BY date DESC;
+```
+
+### Storage Efficiency Report
+
+```sql
+-- Compare raw vs aggregated storage
+SELECT
+    'Raw Events (last 3 days)' as category,
+    COUNT(*) as row_count,
+    pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size('telemetry_events')) as table_size
+FROM telemetry_events
+WHERE created_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL '3 days'
+
+UNION ALL
+
+SELECT
+    'Aggregated Insights (all time)',
+    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM telemetry_tool_usage_daily) +
+    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM telemetry_tool_patterns) +
+    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM telemetry_workflow_insights) +
+    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM telemetry_error_patterns) +
+    (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM telemetry_validation_insights),
+    pg_size_pretty(
+        pg_total_relation_size('telemetry_tool_usage_daily') +
+        pg_total_relation_size('telemetry_tool_patterns') +
+        pg_total_relation_size('telemetry_workflow_insights') +
+        pg_total_relation_size('telemetry_error_patterns') +
+        pg_total_relation_size('telemetry_validation_insights')
+    );
+```
+
+### Top Events by Size
+
+```sql
+-- Which event types consume most space
+SELECT
+    event,
+    COUNT(*) as event_count,
+    pg_size_pretty(SUM(pg_column_size(telemetry_events.*))::BIGINT) as total_size,
+    pg_size_pretty(AVG(pg_column_size(telemetry_events.*))::BIGINT) as avg_size_per_event,
+    ROUND(100.0 * COUNT(*) / SUM(COUNT(*)) OVER (), 2) as pct_of_events
+FROM telemetry_events
+GROUP BY event
+ORDER BY SUM(pg_column_size(telemetry_events.*)) DESC;
+```
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+Track these metrics weekly to ensure the system is working:
+
+### Target Metrics (After Implementation)
+
+- ✅ Database size: **< 150 MB** (< 30% of limit)
+- ✅ Growth rate: **< 3 MB/day** (sustainable)
+- ✅ Raw event retention: **3 days** (configurable)
+- ✅ Aggregated data: **All-time insights available**
+- ✅ Cron job success rate: **> 95%**
+- ✅ Query performance: **< 500ms for aggregated queries**
+
+### Review Schedule
+
+- **Daily**: Check `check_database_size()` status
+- **Weekly**: Review aggregated insights and growth trends
+- **Monthly**: Analyze cron job success rate and adjust retention if needed
+- **After each release**: Compare usage patterns to previous version

+/*
+
+SETUP (Run once):
+    1. Execute this entire script in Supabase SQL Editor
+    2. Verify cron job is scheduled:
+       SELECT * FROM cron.job;
+    3. Run initial monitoring:
+       SELECT * FROM check_database_size();
+
+DAILY OPERATIONS (Automatic):
+    - Cron job runs daily at 2 AM UTC
+    - Aggregates data older than 3 days
+    - Deletes raw events after aggregation
+    - Vacuums tables to reclaim space
+
+MONITORING:
+    -- Check current database health
+    SELECT * FROM check_database_size();
+
+    -- View aggregated insights
+    SELECT * FROM telemetry_tool_usage_daily ORDER BY aggregation_date DESC LIMIT 100;
+    SELECT * FROM telemetry_tool_patterns ORDER BY occurrence_count DESC LIMIT 20;
+    SELECT * FROM telemetry_error_patterns ORDER BY occurrence_count DESC LIMIT 20;
+
+MANUAL CLEANUP (if needed):
+    -- Run cleanup manually (3-day retention)
+    SELECT * FROM run_telemetry_aggregation_and_cleanup(3);
+    VACUUM ANALYZE telemetry_events;
+
+    -- Emergency cleanup (7-day retention)
+    SELECT * FROM emergency_cleanup();
+    VACUUM FULL telemetry_events;
+    VACUUM FULL telemetry_workflows;
+
+TUNING:
+    -- Adjust retention period (e.g., 5 days instead of 3)
+    SELECT cron.schedule(
+        'telemetry-daily-cleanup',
+        '0 2 * * *',
+        $$ SELECT run_telemetry_aggregation_and_cleanup(5); VACUUM ANALYZE telemetry_events; $$
+    );
+
+EXPECTED RESULTS:
+    - Initial run: ~120 MB space freed (265 MB → ~145 MB)
+    - Steady state: ~90-120 MB total database size
+    - Growth rate: ~2-3 MB/day (down from 7.7 MB/day)
+    - Headroom: 70-80% of free tier limit available

+# n8n-MCP Telemetry Database Pruning Strategy
+
+**Analysis Date:** 2025-10-10
+**Current Database Size:** 265 MB (telemetry_events: 199 MB, telemetry_workflows: 66 MB)
+**Free Tier Limit:** 500 MB
+**Projected 4-Week Size:** 609 MB (exceeds limit by 109 MB)
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+**Critical Finding:** At current growth rate (56.75% of data from last 7 days), we will exceed the 500 MB free tier limit in approximately 2 weeks. Implementing a 7-day retention policy can immediately save 36.5 MB (37.6%) and prevent database overflow.
+
+**Key Insights:**
+- 641,487 event records consuming 199 MB
+- 17,247 workflow records consuming 66 MB
+- Daily growth rate: ~7-8 MB/day for events
+- 43.25% of data is older than 7 days but provides diminishing value
+
+**Immediate Action Required:** Implement automated pruning to maintain database under 500 MB.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Current State Assessment
+
+### Database Size and Distribution
+
+| Table | Rows | Current Size | Growth Rate | Bytes/Row |

+
+## 2. Data Value Classification
+
+### TIER 1: Critical - Keep Indefinitely
+
+**Error Patterns (error_occurred)**
+- **Why:** Essential for identifying systemic issues and regression detection
+- **Volume:** 4,935 events (626 KB)
+- **Recommendation:** Keep all errors with aggregated summaries for older data
+- **Retention:** Detailed errors 30 days, aggregated stats indefinitely
+
+**Tool Usage Statistics (Aggregated)**
+- **Why:** Product analytics and feature prioritization
+- **Recommendation:** Aggregate daily/weekly summaries after 14 days
+- **Keep:** Summary tables with tool usage counts, success rates, avg duration
+
+### TIER 2: High Value - Keep 30 Days
+
+**Validation Details (validation_details)**
+- **Current:** 36,266 events, 11 MB, avg 329 bytes
+- **Why:** Important for understanding validation issues during current development cycle
+- **Value Period:** 30 days (covers current version development)
+- **After 30d:** Aggregate to summary stats (validation success rate by node type)
+
+**Workflow Creation Patterns (workflow_created)**
+- **Current:** 23,151 events, 2.6 MB
+- **Why:** Track feature adoption and workflow patterns
+- **Value Period:** 30 days for detailed analysis
+- **After 30d:** Keep aggregated metrics only
+
+### TIER 3: Medium Value - Keep 14 Days
+
+**Session Data (session_start)**
+- **Current:** 12,575 events, 1.2 MB
+- **Why:** User engagement tracking
+- **Value Period:** 14 days sufficient for engagement analysis
+- **Pruning Impact:** 497 KB saved (40% reduction)
+
+**Workflow Validation Failures (workflow_validation_failed)**
+- **Current:** 9,739 events, 314 KB
+- **Why:** Tracks validation patterns but less detailed than validation_details
+- **Value Period:** 14 days
+- **Pruning Impact:** 170 KB saved (54% reduction)
+
+### TIER 4: Short-Term Value - Keep 7 Days
+
+**Tool Sequences (tool_sequence)**
+- **Current:** 362,170 events, 67 MB (largest table!)
+- **Why:** Tracks multi-tool workflows but extremely high volume
+- **Value Period:** 7 days for recent pattern analysis
+- **Pruning Impact:** 29 MB saved (43% reduction) - HIGHEST IMPACT
+- **Rationale:** Tool usage patterns stabilize quickly; older sequences provide diminishing returns
+
+**Tool Usage Events (tool_used)**
+- **Current:** 191,659 events, 14 MB
+- **Why:** Individual tool executions - can be aggregated
+- **Value Period:** 7 days detailed, then aggregate
+- **Pruning Impact:** 6.2 MB saved (44% reduction)
+
+**Search Queries (search_query)**
+- **Current:** 974 events, 106 KB
+- **Why:** Low volume, useful for understanding search patterns
+- **Value Period:** 7 days sufficient
+- **Pruning Impact:** Minimal (~1 KB)
+
+### TIER 5: Ephemeral - Keep 3 Days
+
+**Diagnostic/Health Checks (diagnostic_completed, health_check_completed)**
+- **Current:** 17 events, ~2.5 KB
+- **Why:** Operational health checks, only current state matters
+- **Value Period:** 3 days
+- **Pruning Impact:** Negligible but good hygiene
+
+### Workflow Data Retention Strategy
+
+**telemetry_workflows Table (66 MB):**
+- **Simple workflows (5-6 nodes):** Keep 7 days → Save 11 MB
+- **Medium workflows (13-14 nodes):** Keep 14 days → Save 6.7 MB
+- **Complex workflows (26+ nodes):** Keep 30 days → Save 1.9 MB
+- **Total Workflow Savings:** 19.6 MB with tiered retention
+
+**Rationale:** Complex workflows are rarer and more valuable for understanding advanced use cases.

+
+## 3. Pruning Recommendations with Space Savings
+
+### Strategy A: Conservative 14-Day Retention (Recommended for Initial Implementation)
+
+| Action | Records Deleted | Space Saved | Risk Level |
+|--------|----------------|-------------|------------|
+| Delete tool_sequence > 14d | 0 | 0 MB | None - all recent |
+| Delete tool_used > 14d | 0 | 0 MB | None - all recent |
+| Delete validation_details > 14d | 4,259 | 1.2 MB | Low |
+| Delete session_start > 14d | 0 | 0 MB | None - all recent |
+| Delete workflows > 14d | 1 | <1 KB | None |
+| **TOTAL** | **4,260** | **1.2 MB** | **Low** |
+
+**Assessment:** Minimal immediate impact but data is too recent. Not sufficient to prevent overflow.
+
+### Strategy B: Aggressive 7-Day Retention (RECOMMENDED)
+
+| Action | Records Deleted | Space Saved | Risk Level |
+|--------|----------------|-------------|------------|
+| Delete tool_sequence > 7d | 155,389 | 29 MB | Low - pattern data |
+| Delete tool_used > 7d | 82,827 | 6.2 MB | Low - usage metrics |
+| Delete validation_details > 7d | 17,465 | 5.4 MB | Medium - debugging data |
+| Delete workflow_created > 7d | 9,106 | 1.0 MB | Low - creation events |
+| Delete session_start > 7d | 5,664 | 497 KB | Low - session data |
+| Delete error_occurred > 7d | 2,321 | 206 KB | Medium - error history |
+| Delete workflow_validation_failed > 7d | 5,269 | 170 KB | Low - validation events |
+| Delete workflows > 7d (simple) | 5,146 | 11 MB | Low - simple workflows |
+| Delete workflows > 7d (medium) | 1,506 | 6.7 MB | Medium - medium workflows |
+| Delete workflows > 7d (complex) | 231 | 1.9 MB | High - complex workflows |
+| **TOTAL** | **284,924** | **62.1 MB** | **Medium** |
+
+**New Database Size:** 265 MB - 62.1 MB = **202.9 MB (76.6% of limit)**
+**Buffer:** 297 MB remaining (~38 days at current growth rate)
+
+### Strategy C: Hybrid Tiered Retention (OPTIMAL LONG-TERM)
+
+| Event Type | Retention Period | Records Deleted | Space Saved |
+|-----------|------------------|----------------|-------------|
+| tool_sequence | 7 days | 155,389 | 29 MB |
+| tool_used | 7 days | 82,827 | 6.2 MB |
+| validation_details | 14 days | 4,259 | 1.2 MB |
+| workflow_created | 14 days | 3 | <1 KB |
+| session_start | 7 days | 5,664 | 497 KB |
+| error_occurred | 30 days (keep all) | 0 | 0 MB |
+| workflow_validation_failed | 7 days | 5,269 | 170 KB |
+| search_query | 7 days | 10 | 1 KB |
+| Workflows (simple) | 7 days | 5,146 | 11 MB |
+| Workflows (medium) | 14 days | 0 | 0 MB |
+| Workflows (complex) | 30 days (keep all) | 0 | 0 MB |
+| **TOTAL** | **Various** | **258,567** | **48.1 MB** |
+
+**New Database Size:** 265 MB - 48.1 MB = **216.9 MB (82% of limit)**
+**Buffer:** 283 MB remaining (~36 days at current growth rate)
+

+
+## 4. Additional Optimization Opportunities
+
+### Optimization 1: Properties Field Compression
+
+**Finding:** validation_details events have bloated properties (avg 329 bytes, max 9 KB)
+
+```sql
+-- Identify large validation_details records
+SELECT id, user_id, created_at, pg_column_size(properties) as size_bytes
+FROM telemetry_events
+WHERE event = 'validation_details'
+  AND pg_column_size(properties) > 1000
+ORDER BY size_bytes DESC;
+-- Result: 417 records > 1KB, 2 records > 5KB
+```
+
+**Recommendation:** Truncate verbose error messages in validation_details after 7 days
+- Keep error types and counts
+- Remove full stack traces and detailed messages
+- Estimated savings: 2-3 MB
+
+### Optimization 2: Remove Redundant tool_sequence Data
+
+**Finding:** tool_sequence properties contain mostly null values
+
+```sql
+-- Analysis shows all tool_sequence.properties->>'tools' are null
+-- 362,170 records storing null in properties field
+```
+
+**Recommendation:**
+1. Investigate why tool_sequence properties are empty
+2. If by design, reduce properties field size or use a flag
+3. Potential savings: 10-15 MB if properties field is eliminated
+
+### Optimization 3: Workflow Deduplication by Hash
+
+**Finding:** No duplicate workflow_hash values found (good!)
+
+**Recommendation:** Continue using workflow_hash for future deduplication if needed. No action required.
+
+### Optimization 4: Dead Row Cleanup
+
+**Finding:** telemetry_workflows has 1,591 dead rows (9.5% overhead)
+
+```sql
+-- Run VACUUM to reclaim space
+VACUUM FULL telemetry_workflows;
+-- Expected savings: ~6-7 MB
+```
+
+**Recommendation:** Schedule weekly VACUUM operations
+
+### Optimization 5: Index Optimization
+
+**Current indexes consume space but improve query performance**
+
+```sql
+-- Check index sizes
+SELECT
+    schemaname, tablename, indexname,
+    pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(indexrelid)) as index_size
+FROM pg_stat_user_indexes
+WHERE schemaname = 'public'
+ORDER BY pg_relation_size(indexrelid) DESC;
+```
+
+**Recommendation:** Review if all indexes are necessary after pruning strategy is implemented
+
+---
+
+## 5. Implementation Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Immediate Emergency Pruning (Day 1)
+
+**Goal:** Free up 60+ MB immediately to prevent overflow
+
+```sql
+-- EMERGENCY PRUNING: Delete data older than 7 days
+BEGIN;
+
+-- Backup count before deletion
+SELECT
+    event,
+    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE created_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days') as to_delete
+FROM telemetry_events
+GROUP BY event;
+
+-- Delete old events
+DELETE FROM telemetry_events
+WHERE created_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days';
+-- Expected: ~278,051 rows deleted, ~36.5 MB saved
+
+-- Delete old simple workflows
+DELETE FROM telemetry_workflows
+WHERE created_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days'
+  AND complexity = 'simple';
+-- Expected: ~5,146 rows deleted, ~11 MB saved
+
+-- Verify new size
+SELECT
+    schemaname, relname,
+    pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(schemaname||'.'||relname)) AS size
+FROM pg_stat_user_tables
+WHERE schemaname = 'public';
+
+COMMIT;
+
+-- Clean up dead rows
+VACUUM FULL telemetry_events;
+VACUUM FULL telemetry_workflows;
+```
+
+**Expected Result:** Database size reduced to ~210-220 MB (55-60% buffer remaining)
+
+### Phase 2: Implement Automated Retention Policy (Week 1)
+
+**Create a scheduled Supabase Edge Function or pg_cron job**
+
+```sql
+-- Create retention policy function
+CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION apply_retention_policy()
+RETURNS void AS $$
+BEGIN
+    -- Tier 4: 7-day retention for high-volume events
+    DELETE FROM telemetry_events

+      AND event IN ('tool_sequence', 'tool_used', 'session_start',
+                     'workflow_validation_failed', 'search_query');
+
+    -- Tier 3: 14-day retention for medium-value events
+    DELETE FROM telemetry_events
+    WHERE created_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '14 days'
+      AND event IN ('validation_details', 'workflow_created');
+
+    -- Tier 1: 30-day retention for errors (keep longer)
+    DELETE FROM telemetry_events
+    WHERE created_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'
+      AND event = 'error_occurred';
+
+    -- Workflow retention by complexity

+    WHERE created_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days'
+      AND complexity = 'simple';
+
+    DELETE FROM telemetry_workflows

+      AND complexity = 'medium';
+
+    DELETE FROM telemetry_workflows
+    WHERE created_at < NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days'
+      AND complexity = 'complex';
+
+    -- Cleanup
+    VACUUM telemetry_events;
+    VACUUM telemetry_workflows;
+END;
+$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
+
+-- Schedule daily execution (using pg_cron extension)
+SELECT cron.schedule('retention-policy', '0 2 * * *', 'SELECT apply_retention_policy()');
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Create Aggregation Tables (Week 2)
+
+**Preserve insights while deleting raw data**
+
+```sql
+-- Daily tool usage summary
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS telemetry_daily_tool_stats (
+    date DATE NOT NULL,

+
+-- Update cron job to aggregate before pruning
+SELECT cron.schedule('aggregate-then-prune', '0 2 * * *',
+    'SELECT aggregate_before_pruning(); SELECT apply_retention_policy();');
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Monitoring and Alerting (Week 2)
+
+**Create size monitoring function**
+
+```sql
+CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION check_database_size()

+
+## 6. Priority Order for Implementation
+
+### Priority 1: URGENT (Day 1)

+
+## 7. Risk Assessment
+
+### Strategy B (7-Day Retention): Risks and Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|-----------|---------|------------|
+| Loss of debugging data for old issues | Medium | Medium | Keep error_occurred for 30 days; aggregate validation stats |
+| Unable to analyze long-term trends | Low | Low | Implement aggregation tables before pruning |
+| Accidental deletion of critical data | Low | High | Test on staging; implement backups; add rollback capability |
+| Performance impact during deletion | Medium | Low | Run during off-peak hours (2 AM UTC) |
+| VACUUM locks table briefly | Low | Low | Schedule during low-usage window |
+
+### Strategy C (Hybrid Tiered): Risks and Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|-----------|---------|------------|
+| Complex logic leads to bugs | Medium | Medium | Thorough testing; monitoring; gradual rollout |
+| Different retention per event type confusing | Low | Low | Document clearly; add comments in code |
+| Tiered approach still insufficient | Low | High | Monitor growth; adjust retention if needed |
+
+---
+
+## 8. Monitoring Metrics
+
+### Key Metrics to Track Post-Implementation
+
+1. **Database Size Trend**
+   ```sql
+   SELECT * FROM check_database_size();
+   ```
+   - Target: Stay under 300 MB (60% of limit)
+   - Alert threshold: 90% (450 MB)
+
+2. **Daily Growth Rate**
+   ```sql
+   SELECT
+       DATE(created_at) as date,
+       COUNT(*) as events,
+       pg_size_pretty(SUM(pg_column_size(properties))::bigint) as daily_size
+   FROM telemetry_events
+   WHERE created_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days'
+   GROUP BY DATE(created_at)
+   ORDER BY date DESC;
+   ```
+   - Target: < 8 MB/day average
+   - Alert threshold: > 12 MB/day sustained
+
+3. **Retention Policy Execution**
+   ```sql
+   -- Add logging to retention policy function
+   CREATE TABLE retention_policy_log (
+       executed_at TIMESTAMPTZ DEFAULT NOW(),
+       events_deleted INTEGER,
+       workflows_deleted INTEGER,
+       space_reclaimed_mb NUMERIC
+   );
+   ```
+   - Monitor: Daily successful execution
+   - Alert: If job fails or deletes 0 rows unexpectedly
+
+4. **Data Availability Check**
+   ```sql
+   -- Ensure sufficient data for analysis
+   SELECT
+       event,
+       COUNT(*) as available_records,
+       MIN(created_at) as oldest_record,
+       MAX(created_at) as newest_record
+   FROM telemetry_events
+   GROUP BY event;
+   ```
+   - Target: 7 days of data always available
+   - Alert: If oldest_record > 8 days ago (retention policy failing)
+
+---
+
+## 9. Recommended Action Plan
+
+### Immediate Actions (Today)
+
+**Step 1:** Execute emergency pruning
+```sql
+-- Backup first (optional but recommended)
+-- Create a copy of current stats

+
+## Conclusion
+
+**Immediate Action Required:** Implement Strategy B (7-day retention) immediately to avoid database overflow within 2 weeks.
+
+**Long-Term Strategy:** Transition to Strategy C (Hybrid Tiered Retention) with automated aggregation to balance data preservation with storage constraints.
+
+**Expected Outcomes:**
+- Immediate: 50+ MB saved (26% reduction)
+- Ongoing: Database stabilized at 200-220 MB (40-44% of limit)
+- Buffer: 30-40 days before limit with current growth rate
+- Risk: Low with proper testing and monitoring
+
+**Success Metrics:**
+1. Database size < 300 MB consistently
+2. 7+ days of detailed event data always available
+3. No impact on product analytics capabilities
+4. Automated retention policy runs daily without errors
+
+---
+
+**Analysis completed:** 2025-10-10
+**Next review date:** 2025-11-10 (monthly check)
+**Escalation:** If database exceeds 400 MB, consider upgrading to paid tier or implementing more aggressive pruning
