feat: componentIdentifiers, and resolve the plugins Studio keeps reporting

[jeffreylouden]

Description

Refs AUREO-1345. The Studio side is existential-engineering/racks (PR linked below).

Schema (commit 1). A UAD collection installs one plugin per member, each with its own bundle id, but software_formats holds one identifier per (software_id, format). Every Studio sync therefore reported the 1176 Rev A, the LA-2 and InTrigger Live as unknown plugins: catalog-submissions#12, #13 and #104 kept re-filing them.

• The field. componentIdentifiers takes the same keys and precedence as identifiers, with a list per key (resolveFormatComponentIdentifiers). The primary stays in identifiers, so software_formats is unchanged for older Studio builds.
• The table. The build writes every resolved identifier into a new software_format_identifiers table (is_primary distinguishes them), indexed on identifier. This is schema migration 24: additive, with no schema_version bump. generate-patch carries it through reflection, and a test pins that.
• E402. Validation now fails an identifier claimed by two entries, repeated within one list, or repeating the primary under the same key. The matcher resolves an identifier to one entry, so a shared value was a silent mis-match. There were 0 such duplicates on main.
• The writer. It now reports an observed id already listed as a component as same rather than conflict, and never promotes a component to the primary.
• Docs. CLAUDE.md "Identifiers", docs/SCHEMA_VERSIONS.md (v24), docs/VALIDATION_ERRORS.md (E402) and the JSON schema.

Data (commit 2).

• Component ids from the held review rows in docs/reviews/2026-09-identifier-backfill-telemetry.tsv, now marked resolved:
  • 1176 (U39V, U39X, U39Z). This entry also gains the formats it lacked, without which it matched nothing at all.
  • Fairchild (U3AV).
  • LA-2A: U3A7 (Gray) as the primary, per AUREO-1286, plus U3A5 and U3A9.
  • Manley Massive Passive (U391), Topline (UI14), Hitsville (U3D7).
  • InTrigger Live: a component shipped with every InTrigger licence, per waves.com.
• Primary identifiers on existing entries:
  • Nx Germano.
  • StudioVerse Audio Effects, which is StudioRack renamed at V15. The entry is renamed and its url updated; the slug stays the same and searchTerms: [StudioRack] is added.
• New entries:
  • Pultec Passive EQ Collection: EQP-1A primary, HLF-3C as a component. It is the only Pultec product UA sells.
  • StudioVerse Instruments (free).
  • ROLI Studio Player: the first ROLI product. The manufacturer display name is corrected to ROLI.
  • smart:reverb (v1) and smart:comp 2, both discontinued per sonible. smartreverb-2 and smartcomp-3 now supersedes them.
• Mesa+ (catalog-submissions#94). Add moves from mesa-boogie to a new, defunct mesa-plus manufacturer, keeping its id. It becomes a Windows-only VST2 at its sourced 139 EUR launch price; the unsourced $599 USD and the unsourced mac platform are dropped. The manufacturer url is KVR, because mesa-plus.com now belongs to an unrelated company.

Sources for the new entries are cited in the prices[].source fields and links.

Type of Change

• New software/plugin entry
• New hardware entry
• New manufacturer entry
• Update to existing entry
• Bug fix
• Schema or script change

Checklist

• I have run pnpm validate and it passes
• YAML files follow the existing format
• Manufacturer exists (or I'm adding it in this PR)
• Categories and formats are from the schema files
• Identifiers are accurate, if provided (bundle IDs, etc.)
• Any hp I added or changed names its source in the description (n/a)

Additional Notes

• Checks run: pnpm test (695 passed), pnpm typecheck, pnpm lint, pnpm build. The built database has 929 software_format_identifiers rows, 895 of them primary; 895 is also the number of non-null software_formats.identifier values.
• Studio compatibility: older Studio builds ignore the new table and match exactly as before. The racks PR makes the matcher read it.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds componentIdentifiers to software records, validates duplicate identifier claims, recognizes component identifiers in telemetry matching, and stores resolved identifiers in SQLite. It also prevents patch generation when the built database contains migrations absent from the source tag and adds or updates software and manufacturer catalog records.

Changes

Component Identifier Support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Identifier contract and catalog adoption scripts/lib/types.ts, schema/json/software.json, scripts/generate-json-schemas.ts, scripts/lib/identifier-fallback.ts, CLAUDE.md, data/software/universal-audio-*, data/software/waves-intrigger-drum-replacer.yaml, .changeset/component-identifiers.md	Software records and JSON schemas accept component identifier arrays. Resolution checks exact format keys, then default, and uses bundle for AU or standalone formats. Catalog records add component identifiers.
Duplicate identifier validation scripts/lib/identifier-validation.ts, scripts/validate.ts, scripts/lib/error-codes.ts, docs/VALIDATION_ERRORS.md, scripts/__tests__/identifier-fallback.test.ts	Validation checks identifier values against format keys and reports E402 for repeated claims within an entry or across entries. Tests cover fallback and duplicate detection.
Telemetry component matching scripts/lib/identifier-writer.ts, scripts/__tests__/identifier-writer.test.ts	An observed identifier that matches a listed component is treated as a match and is not written as the format’s primary identifier.
SQLite identifier storage scripts/schema.sql, scripts/build-sqlite.ts, docs/SCHEMA_VERSIONS.md, scripts/__tests__/identifier-fallback.test.ts	Schema version 24 adds software_format_identifiers. The SQLite build stores resolved primary and component identifiers with their primary status. Tests check stored rows and incremental patch statements.

Patch Migration Guard

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Migration comparison and patch guard scripts/generate-patch.ts, scripts/__tests__/generate-patch.test.ts, CLAUDE.md	The patch generator compares database migrations with those recorded in the source tag. It exits without writing a patch when the database contains newer migrations.

Catalog Content Updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
New software records and product relationships data/software/roli-studio-player.yaml, data/software/sonible-smartcomp-2.yaml, data/software/sonible-smartcomp-3.yaml, data/software/sonible-smartreverb*.yaml, data/software/universal-audio-pultec-passive-eq-collection.yaml, data/software/waves-studioverse-instruments.yaml	Adds catalog records for ROLI Studio Player, sonible products, the Pultec collection, and Waves StudioVerse Instruments. The sonible records include supersedes references.
Existing product and manufacturer updates data/manufacturers/mesa-plus.yaml, data/manufacturers/roli.yaml, data/software/mesa-plus-add.yaml, data/software/waves-studiorack.yaml, data/software/waves-nx-germano-studios-new-york.yaml	Adds the Mesa+ manufacturer and updates product metadata. Renames the StudioRack listing to StudioVerse Audio Effects and adds identifiers to Waves records.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 15f7f

The 1176 collection may not match its Windows VST3 components, so that catalog mapping should be corrected before merging. The ROLI search term also needs to follow the catalog convention.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 15f7f

The additive identifier storage preserves the existing primary-identifier field, and normal release builds validate the catalog before publishing it. A manually supplied, outdated database can bypass the new patch safeguard; the impact depends on how such patches are used.

Retained concerns

• Medium · reliability · inferred: With --db or --skip-build, a pre-migration database can pass the new migration guard and produce a row-only patch that lacks the component-identifier table and rows while stamping the target catalog version. This requires a trusted caller to supply stale input; downstream publication is not established.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — Catalog contributors can influence identifier inputs, while using a stale database for patch generation requires control of a trusted command invocation. No externally reachable attacker path through the patch option is established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Full validation checks shared identifier claims, and normal release execution places validation before database construction. The standalone database builder does not itself establish that validation ran.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Generated patch SQL has transaction boundaries, but how an external consumer verifies and applies a complete patch is not established here.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Before generating a patch from a supplied database, verify that its migration state matches the current schema, independently of its comparison with the base tag.

class ID under identifiers.vst3.

In @scripts/lib/identifier-validation.ts:
- Around line 180-183: Normalize VST3 class IDs before comparing or recording
them in findSharedIdentifiers and findComponentIdentifierRepeats so IDs
differing only by letter case are detected as duplicates. Keep reverse-domain
identifiers case-sensitive, following the writer’s sameIdentifier comparison
behavior.

In @scripts/schema.sql:
- Around line 83-98: Make the version-24 transition transactional: create the
software_format_identifiers table and index, backfill primary and component
identifiers for every entry from the complete built catalog, and record
migration 24 in schema_migrations. Do not derive the backfill solely from
software_formats, and keep catalog_meta.schema_version at 1.
