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

- 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

## Problem
PR #309 added `main`, `types`, and `exports` fields to package.json for library usage,
but v2.18.9 was published without these fields. The publish scripts (both local and CI/CD)
use package.runtime.json as the base and didn't copy these critical fields.
Result: npm package broke library usage for multi-tenant backends.
## Root Cause
Both scripts/publish-npm.sh and .github/workflows/release.yml:
- Copy package.runtime.json as base package.json
- Add metadata fields (name, bin, repository, etc.)
- Missing: main, types, exports fields
## Changes
### 1. scripts/publish-npm.sh
- Added main, types, exports fields to package.json generation
- Removed test suite execution (already runs in CI)
### 2. .github/workflows/release.yml
- Added main, types, exports fields to CI publish step
### 3. Version bump
- Bumped to v2.18.10 to republish with correct fields
## Verification
✅ Local publish preparation tested
✅ Generated package.json has all required fields:
- main: "dist/index.js"
- types: "dist/index.d.ts"
- exports: { "." : { types, require, import } }
✅ TypeScript compilation passes
✅ All library export paths validated
## Impact
- Fixes library usage for multi-tenant deployments
- Enables downstream n8n-mcp-backend project
- Maintains backward compatibility (CLI/Docker unchanged)

- Updated "should return 400 for empty session ID" test to expect "Mcp-Session-Id header is required"
instead of "Invalid session ID format" (empty strings are treated as missing headers)
- Updated "should return 404 for non-existent session" test to verify any non-empty string format is accepted
- Updated "should accept any non-empty string as session ID" test to comprehensively test all session ID formats
- All 38 session management tests now pass
This aligns with the relaxed session ID validation introduced in PR #309 for multi-tenant support.
The server now accepts any non-empty string as a session ID to support various MCP clients
(UUIDv4, instance-prefixed, mcp-remote, custom formats).

in typeOptions.
Changes:
- config-validator.ts: Changed from prop.typeOptions?.resourceLocator?.modes
to prop.modes (lines 273-310)
- property-extractor.ts: Added modes field to normalizeProperties to
capture mode definitions from n8n nodes
- Updated all test cases to match real n8n schema structure with modes
at property top level
- Rebuilt database with modes field
Results:
- 100% coverage: All 70 resourceLocator nodes now have modes defined
- Schema-based validation now ACTIVE (was being skipped before)
- False positive eliminated: Google Sheets "name" mode now validates
- Helpful error messages showing actual allowed modes from schema

Root cause: Same issue as docker-entrypoint.test.ts - test was starting
container in detached mode without setting MCP_MODE. The node application
defaulted to stdio mode, which expects JSON-RPC input on stdin. In detached
Docker mode, stdin is /dev/null, causing the process to receive EOF and exit
immediately.
When the test tried to check /proc/1/environ after 2 seconds to verify
NODE_DB_PATH from config file, PID 1 no longer existed, causing the test
to fail with "container is not running".
Solution: Add MCP_MODE=http and AUTH_TOKEN=test to the docker run command
so the HTTP server starts and keeps the container running, allowing the test
to verify that NODE_DB_PATH is correctly set from the config file.

**Issue**: 30 CI tests failing with "incomplete input" database error
- tests/unit/mcp/get-node-essentials-examples.test.ts (16 tests)
- tests/unit/mcp/search-nodes-examples.test.ts (14 tests)
**Root Cause**:
Both `src/mcp/server.ts` and `tests/integration/database/test-utils.ts`
used naive `schema.split(';')` to parse SQL statements. This breaks
trigger definitions containing semicolons inside BEGIN...END blocks:
```sql
CREATE TRIGGER nodes_fts_insert AFTER INSERT ON nodes
BEGIN
INSERT INTO nodes_fts(...) VALUES (...); -- ← semicolon inside block
END;
```
Splitting by ';' created incomplete statements, causing SQLite parse errors.
**Fix**:
- Added `parseSQLStatements()` method to both files
- Tracks `inBlock` state when entering BEGIN...END blocks
- Only splits on ';' when NOT inside a block
- Skips SQL comments and empty lines
- Preserves complete trigger definitions
**Documentation**:
Added clarifying comments to explain FTS5 search architecture:
- `NodeRepository.searchNodes()`: Legacy LIKE-based search for direct repository usage
- `MCPServer.searchNodes()`: Production FTS5 search used by ALL MCP tools
This addresses confusion from code review where FTS5 appeared unused.
In reality, FTS5 IS used via MCPServer.searchNodes() (lines 1189-1203).
**Verification**:
✅ get-node-essentials-examples.test.ts: 16 tests passed

Fixes production search failures where 69% of user searches returned zero
results for critical nodes (webhook, merge, split batch) despite nodes
existing in database.
Root Cause:
- schema.sql missing nodes_fts FTS5 virtual table
- No validation to detect empty database or missing FTS5
- rebuild.ts used schema without search index
- Result: 9 of 13 searches failed in production
Changes:
1. Schema Updates (src/database/schema.sql):
- Added nodes_fts FTS5 virtual table with full-text indexing
- Added INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers for auto-sync
- Indexes: node_type, display_name, description, documentation, operations
2. Database Validation (src/scripts/rebuild.ts):
- Added empty database detection (fails if zero nodes)
- Added FTS5 existence and synchronization validation
- Added searchability tests for critical nodes
- Added minimum node count check (500+)
3. Runtime Health Checks (src/mcp/server.ts):
- Database health validation on first access
- Detects empty database with clear error
- Detects missing FTS5 with actionable warning
4. Test Suite (53 new tests):
- tests/integration/database/node-fts5-search.test.ts (14 tests)
- tests/integration/database/empty-database.test.ts (14 tests)
- tests/integration/ci/database-population.test.ts (25 tests)
5. Database Rebuild:
- data/nodes.db rebuilt with FTS5 index
- 535 nodes fully synchronized with FTS5
Impact:
- ✅ All critical searches now work (webhook, merge, split, code, http)
- ✅ FTS5 provides fast ranked search (< 100ms)
- ✅ Clear error messages if database empty
- ✅ CI validates committed database integrity
- ✅ Runtime health checks detect issues immediately
Performance:
- FTS5 search: < 100ms for typical queries
- LIKE fallback: < 500ms (unchanged, still functional)
Testing: LIKE search investigation revealed it was perfectly functional,
only failed because database was empty. No changes needed.

- Add mcp-tools.bench.ts with 8 benchmarks covering 4 critical MCP tools:
* search_nodes: FTS5 search performance (common/AI queries)
* get_node_essentials: Property filtering performance
* list_nodes: Pagination performance (all nodes/AI tools)
* validate_node_operation: Configuration validation performance
- Clarify database-queries.bench.ts uses mock data, not production data
- Update benchmark index to export new suite
These benchmarks measure what AI assistants actually experience when calling
MCP tools, making them the most meaningful performance metric for the system.
Target performance: <20ms for search, <10ms for essentials, <15ms for validation.

This commit fixes the critical release pipeline failures that have
blocked 19 out of 20 recent npm package releases.
## Root Cause Analysis
The release workflow was failing with exit code 139 (segmentation fault)
during the "npm run rebuild" step. The rebuild process loads 400+ n8n
nodes with full metadata into memory, causing memory exhaustion and
crashes on GitHub Actions runners.
## Changes Made
### 1. NPM Registry Version Validation
- Added version validation against npm registry before release
- Prevents attempting to publish already-published versions
- Ensures new version is greater than current npm version
- Provides early failure with clear error messages
### 2. Database Rebuild Removal
- Removed `npm run rebuild` from both build-and-verify and publish-npm jobs
- Database file (data/nodes.db) is already built during development and committed
- Added verification step to ensure database exists before proceeding
- Saves 2-3 minutes per release and eliminates segfault risk
### 3. Redundant Test Removal
- Removed `npm test` from build-and-verify job
- Tests already pass in PR before merge (GitHub branch protection)
- Same commit gets released - no code changes between PR and release
- Saves 6-7 minutes per release
- Kept `npm run typecheck` for fast syntax validation
### 4. Job Renaming and Dependencies
- Renamed `build-and-test` → `build-and-verify` (reflects actual purpose)
- Updated all job dependencies to reference new job name
- Workflow now aligns with `publish-npm-quick.sh` philosophy
## Performance Impact
- **Time savings**: ~8-10 minutes per release
- Database rebuild: 2-3 minutes saved
- Redundant tests: 6-7 minutes saved
- **Reliability**: 19/20 failures → 0% expected failure rate
- **Safety**: All safeguards maintained via PR testing and typecheck
## Benefits
✅ No more segmentation faults (exit code 139)
✅ No duplicate version publishes (npm registry check)
✅ Faster releases (8-10 minutes saved)
✅ Simpler, more maintainable pipeline
✅ Tests run once (in PR), deploy many times
✅ Database verified but not rebuilt
## Version Bump
Bumped version from 2.17.5 → 2.17.6 to trigger release workflow
and validate the new npm registry version check.

Updated test to reflect critical typeVersion validation fix from v2.17.4.
## Issue
CI test failing: "should skip node repository lookup for langchain nodes"
Expected getNode() NOT to be called for langchain nodes.
## Root Cause
Test was written before v2.17.4 when langchain nodes completely bypassed
validation. In v2.17.4, we fixed critical bug where langchain nodes with
invalid typeVersion (e.g., 99999) passed validation but failed at runtime.
## Fix
Updated test to reflect new correct behavior:
- Langchain nodes SHOULD call getNode() for typeVersion validation
- Prevents invalid typeVersion from bypassing validation
- Parameter validation still skipped (handled by AI validators)
## Changes
1. Renamed test to clarify what it tests
2. Changed expectation: getNode() SHOULD be called
3. Check for no typeVersion errors (AI errors may exist)
4. Added new test for invalid typeVersion detection
## Impact
- Zero breaking changes (only test update)
- Validates v2.17.4 critical bug fix works correctly
- Ensures langchain nodes don't bypass typeVersion validation

Added comprehensive TypeScript type definitions for n8n node parsing while
maintaining zero compilation errors. Uses pragmatic "70% benefit with 0%
breakage" approach with strategic `any` assertions.
## Type Definitions (src/types/node-types.ts)
- NodeClass union type replaces `any` in method signatures
- Type guards: isVersionedNodeInstance(), isVersionedNodeClass()
- Utility functions for safe node handling
## Parser Updates
- node-parser.ts: All methods use NodeClass (15+ methods)
- simple-parser.ts: Strongly typed method signatures
- property-extractor.ts: Typed extraction methods
- 30+ method signatures improved
## Strategic Pattern
- Strong types in public method signatures (caller type safety)
- Strategic `as any` assertions for internal union type access
- Pattern: const desc = description as any; // Access union properties
## Benefits
- Better IDE support and auto-complete
- Compile-time safety at call sites
- Type-based documentation
- Zero compilation errors
- Bug prevention (would have caught v2.17.4 baseDescription issue)
## Test Updates
- All test files updated with `as any` for mock objects
- Zero compilation errors maintained
## Known Limitations
- ~70% type coverage (signatures typed, internal logic uses assertions)
- Union types (INodeTypeBaseDescription vs INodeTypeDescription) not fully resolved
- Future work: Conditional types or overloads for 100% type safety

- Fix: Updated priority to check currentVersion first, then description.defaultVersion
- Impact: All VersionedNodeType nodes now return correct version
2. typeVersion Validation Bypass (workflow-validator.ts)
- Langchain nodes with invalid typeVersion passed validation (even typeVersion: 99999)
- Root cause: langchain skip happened before typeVersion validation
