Build system:
- Add --without-sqlite configure flag (AM_CONDITIONAL BUILD_SQLITE)
- Guard database_sqlite.c with HAVE_SQLITE in Makefile.am, database.c,
database.h and stub_database.c
- Fall back to flatfile when SQLite not compiled in
Security (database_flatfile.c):
- MAM dedup: skip incoming messages with duplicate stanza-id (archive_id)
- LMC sender validation: reject corrections from mismatched JIDs
- Add flock() advisory locking to prevent interleaved writes from
concurrent instances
- Check fprintf return when writing file header
Autocomplete (cmd_ac.c):
- Add 'flatfile' to /privacy logging autocomplete
- Add dedicated /history autocomplete with on/off/verify (was boolean-only)
Code quality:
- Fix fwrite return type: size_t not ssize_t (database_flatfile_parser.c)
- Fix mixed allocators in ff_readline: use malloc() consistently for
overlength-line fallback instead of g_strdup()
- Fix index alignment in _ff_state_extend: use local counter so index
step doesn't depend on total_lines from initial build
Documentation:
- Fix page: correct directory structure (history.log not per-day files)
- Fix page: add aid:{archive_id} to line format example
- Fix page: missing newline before .SH BUGS
Add pluggable storage backend abstraction (vtable) to the database layer,
allowing selection between SQLite (default) and a new flat-file backend
that stores messages as human-readable plain text files.
New files:
- database_sqlite.c: extracted SQLite backend from database.c
- database_flatfile.c: plain text backend with tolerant parser,
LMC correction chains, UTF-8/BOM/CRLF handling, integrity checks
Commands:
- /privacy logging flatfile — switch to flat-file backend
- /history verify [<jid>] — check integrity of stored history
Fixes:
- Add missing 'off' guard in flatfile backend
- Enable CHLOG/HISTORY prefs when switching to flatfile mode
Logs stored in ~/.local/share/profanity/flatlog/{account}/{contact}/{date}.log
Format: {ISO8601} [{type}|{enc}|id:{id}|corrects:{id}] {sender}: {message}
Updated: CHANGELOG, CONTRIBUTING.md, profrc.example, man page, cmd_defs,
Makefile.am, test stubs, functional test support (PROF_FLATFILE=1)
As 9f2abc75 accidentally got the ordering of some of the includes wrong,
I decided to propose my initial solution again.
Additional to that, I've opened a MR against CMocka to solve this on
their side, since I believe that the current way this is done is not
sustainable [0].

CProof note: our new tests need to also be updated.
