The /db/import/blastware_file endpoint was bucketing every
forwarded event into serial='UNKNOWN' in the DB. WaveformStore
correctly decoded the serial from the BW filename and saved
files to <store>/<serial>/<filename> (e.g.
.../BE17353/S353L5KC.DR0H.h5), but the endpoint code called
db.insert_events(serial=_serial_from_event(ev)) — and
_serial_from_event was a stub that always returned None,
falling back to "UNKNOWN".
Effect on the user's prod server: 3,039 events forwarded across
24 distinct units, ALL inserted under serial='UNKNOWN'. The
on-disk waveform store + sidecars + HDF5s were fine, but the
SFM webapp's /db/units only showed the two original manually-
uploaded serials because every forwarded row had its serial
column zeroed to UNKNOWN.
Fix:
- WaveformStore.save_imported_bw() now surfaces the decoded
serial on the returned `rec` dict (rec["serial"]).
- The import endpoint uses rec["serial"] as the authoritative
fallback when the operator hasn't supplied a serial_hint query
parameter. Order of precedence:
query string `serial` → rec["serial"] → _serial_from_event(ev) → "UNKNOWN"
- Response payload now includes `serial` per file so the watcher
log lines (or any future caller) can see which unit each event
was attributed to.
Recovery for existing DB rows:
scripts/repair_unknown_serials.py walks the events table looking
for rows with serial='UNKNOWN' and re-attributes each one to the
serial decoded from blastware_filename. Updates the row in place
unless the target (serial, timestamp) already has a row, in which
case the UNKNOWN duplicate is deleted. Idempotent. Default
dry-run; pass --apply to commit.
Verified on the user's actual DB (dry-run):
UNKNOWN rows scanned: 3039
Updated to real serial: 2602
Deleted (duplicate of an
already-correct row): 437
Unresolved (bad filename): 0
After running the repair, /db/units will show all 24 units
correctly populated.
### Added
- **Layered event storage architecture.** Each event now lands as four
files in the per-serial waveform store, each with a clear role:
- `<filename>` — the Blastware-readable binary (BW file). Untouched.
- `<filename>.a5.pkl` — the raw 5A frames (regenerative source).
- `<filename>.h5` — clean per-channel waveform arrays in physical
units (in/s for geo, psi for mic) plus event metadata (HDF5 with
gzip compression). This is the canonical format for downstream
analysis tools.
- `<filename>.sfm.json` — the modern review/metadata sidecar (peaks,
project, source provenance, review state, extensions).
SQLite (`seismo_relay.db`) is the searchable index over all four.
- **Plot-ready waveform JSON (`sfm.plot.v1`).** The `/device/event/{idx}/waveform`
and `/db/events/{id}/waveform.json` endpoints now return samples in
physical units with explicit time-axis metadata, peak markers, and
per-channel unit hints — no more guessing the ADC-to-velocity scale
client-side. The webapp waveform viewer was rewritten to consume
this shape.
- **In-app waveform viewer accuracy fix.** The standalone SFM webapp
viewer was scaling geophone amplitudes by `geoAdcScale / 32767`
(≈ 6.206 / 32767), where `geoAdcScale = 6.206053` is the device's
*in/s per V* hardware constant — not the ADC-counts-to-velocity
factor. This silently scaled every plot ~38% too low for Normal-range
geophones (the correct full-scale is 10.0 in/s, or 1.25 in/s for
Sensitive). Conversion is now done server-side using the geo_range
from compliance config; the client just plots.
- New `sfm/event_hdf5.py` module: `write_event_hdf5()`,
`read_event_hdf5()`, plus a plot-JSON helper.
- Backfill script extended to also emit `.h5` for existing events.
### Dependencies
- Added `h5py>=3.10` and `numpy>=1.24` for the HDF5 storage layer.
- Added `python-multipart>=0.0.7` (required by FastAPI for the
`/db/import/blastware_file` endpoint introduced in this release).
