Phase 1 Plan 01: Contact Attachments Summary
File-enabled contact forms now persist uploaded files outside temp/ and store public links in the contact submission row.

Acceptance Criteria Results
| Criterion | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| AC-1: Persistent Attachment Links | Pass | Production test confirmed latest contact_messages row contains a JSON attachment link and the public PDF URL returns HTTP 200. |
| AC-2: Automatic Database Upgrade | Pass | ensureContactMessagesAttachmentsColumn() creates attachments TEXT NULL when missing and tolerates duplicate-column races. |
| AC-3: Upload Restrictions | Pass | Backend allowlist and 50 MB limit added; invalid uploads stop before partial DB save/email. |
| AC-4: Form Limit Information | Pass | Current contact page and modal state 50 MB and allowed types; fileuploader config uses matching limit/extensions. |
Accomplishments
- Added reusable contact attachment upload handling in
plugins/special-actions-middle.php. - Replaced targeted
temp/upload loops for/kontakt/file-enabled handlers andmodal-contact-form. - Added automatic schema evolution for
contact_messages.attachments. - Updated visible upload guidance and client-side validation to match server rules.
- Verified a real production submission with attachment saved correctly.
Task Commits
No git commit was created during UNIFY. The worktree had extensive pre-existing unrelated changes, including modified files touched by this phase, so committing would risk bundling user work. Commit intentionally deferred.
Files Created/Modified
| File | Change | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
plugins/special-actions-middle.php |

Modified | Upload copy and fileuploader limit/extensions for current contact page. |
templates_user/modal/modal.php |
Modified | Upload copy and fileuploader limit/extensions for modal form. |
.paul/codebase/db_schema.md |
Modified | Documented external contact_messages schema and attachments column. |
.paul/codebase/tech_changelog.md |
Modified | Recorded technical change for future context. |
.paul/changelog/2026-05-05.md |
Created | Human-readable PAUL changelog entry. |
.paul/STATE.md |
Modified | Loop and phase state closure. |
.paul/ROADMAP.md |
Modified | Phase marked complete. |
.paul/PROJECT.md |
Modified | Requirement moved into shipped/validated context. |
Decisions Made
| Decision | Rationale | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Store public links in one column | User chose one-column storage; simplest production migration. | attachments stores JSON array of public paths. |
| Dedicated public upload folder | temp/ is cleaned automatically. |
New uploads go to /uploads/contact-attachments/YYYY/mm/. |
| Restrict uploads to allowlist + 50 MB | User requested restrictions and visible limit. | Server and UI now enforce aligned rules. |
| Defer landing page upload persistence | Request scoped to /kontakt/ and modal. |
send-contact-landing still uses legacy temp flow and is documented as deferred. |
| Skip automatic git commit | Dirty worktree contained pre-existing unrelated/user changes. | No accidental commit of unrelated work; manual commit can be made later. |
Deviations from Plan
Summary
| Type | Count | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Deferred | 1 | Landing page handler remains legacy because it is outside requested scope. |
| Transition deviation | 1 | Git commit skipped to avoid bundling pre-existing dirty worktree changes. |
Auto-fixed Issues
1. Duplicate-column race tolerance
- Found during: Task 1 review
- Issue: Two simultaneous first submissions could both try to add
attachments. - Fix: Duplicate-column PDO errors are tolerated after the second request loses the race.
- Files:
plugins/special-actions-middle.php - Verification:
php -l plugins/special-actions-middle.php
Deferred Items
- Landing page attachment persistence can be planned separately if
send-contact-landingshould also retain uploads outsidetemp/.
Issues Encountered
| Issue | Resolution |
|---|---|
Direct DB access from local machine failed because mysql8 is internal and external DB access is denied. |
Used a short-lived FTP-uploaded diagnostic script on the production webroot, then deleted it. |
Initial diagnostic file_exists() check was false due hosting DOCUMENT_ROOT behavior. |
Verified the public URL returns HTTP 200 and FTP confirms the file exists at the expected path. |
Next Phase Readiness
Ready:
/kontakt/file-enabled forms and modal now retain uploaded attachments.- Database schema self-upgrade is in place.
- Public upload directory pattern is established.
Concerns:
- The project still has broader security concerns documented in
.paul/codebase/concerns.md. - The landing page upload flow still uses
temp/if that page remains business-critical.
Blockers:
- None for this phase.
