|

| `abbreviation` | TEXT | Short label (e.g. `CRY`), 2–6 chars, server-uppercased. Globally unique — enforced by `uq_category_abbreviation`. |
|
||||
| `description` | TEXT | Optional description. |
|
||||
| `icon_path` | TEXT | Default icon URL (e.g. `/uploads/icons/CRY.png`). |
|
||||
| `created_at` | TEXT | ISO 8601 timestamp the row was created. Declared in the initial `InitSchema1700000000000` migration (defaulting to `strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%fZ','now')`); the `AddCategoryTimestampsAndUniqueAbbrev1700000000200` migration adds it as a no-op for older pre-existing databases. |
|
||||
| `updated_at` | TEXT | ISO 8601 timestamp the row was last updated (bumped on `PUT /api/v1/admin/categories/:id`). Same provenance as `created_at`. |
|
||||
| `created_at` | TEXT | ISO 8601 timestamp the row was created. |
|
||||
| `updated_at` | TEXT | ISO 8601 timestamp the row was last updated. |
|
||||
|
||||
System rows are seeded by the
|
||||
`UpdateSystemCategoryKeys1700000000300` migration so the canonical
|
||||
keys are `CRY` (Cryptography), `MSC` (Misc), `PWN` (Binary
|
||||
exploitation), `REV` (Reverse Engineering), `WEB` (Web), and `HW`
|
||||
(Hardware). A forward-only repair migration,
|
||||
`RepairCategorySchemaAndSystemCategories1700000000400`, runs after
|
||||
that one on existing databases that pre-date the canonical six keys
|
||||
(it adds `created_at`/`updated_at` if missing, deletes obsolete
|
||||
`FOR`/`OSI` system rows, rewrites name/abbreviation/description/icon
|
||||
metadata on canonical rows, inserts any missing canonical row, and
|
||||
guarantees unique indexes on `system_key` and `abbreviation`).
|
||||
User-created categories leave `system_key` as `NULL`.
|
||||
|
||||
The uniqueness on `abbreviation` is enforced both by application
|
||||
validation (uppercased on save, duplicates rejected) and by the
|
||||
`uq_category_abbreviation` index created in migration
|
||||
`1700000000200` (re-asserted by `1700000000400`).
|
||||
(Hardware). The forward-only
|
||||
`RepairCategorySchemaAndSystemCategories1700000000400` migration
|
||||
repairs legacy schemas on existing databases.

## `challenge`
|
||||
|
||||
| Column | Type | Description |
|
||||
|-------------------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| `id` | TEXT PK | UUID v4. |
|
||||
| `name` | TEXT | Display name. |
|
||||
| `name` | TEXT | Display name. **Case-insensitive uniqueness** enforced by `uq_challenge_name_lower`. |
|
||||
| `description_md` | TEXT | Markdown description. |
|
||||
| `category_id` | TEXT | FK → `category.id`. |
|
||||
| `difficulty` | TEXT | `'low'` / `'med'` / `'high'`. |
|
||||
| `initial_points` | INTEGER | Starting point value. |
|
||||
| `minimum_points` | INTEGER | Floor after decay. |
|
||||
| `decay_solves` | INTEGER | Number of solves at which decay reaches the minimum. |
|
||||
| `flag` | TEXT | Submission string expected from players. |
|
||||
| `protocol` | TEXT | `'nc'` (netcat-style connection) or `'web'` (browser-based). |
|
||||
| `port` | INTEGER | TCP port when relevant (nullable). |
|
||||
| `ip_address` | TEXT | IP the challenge listens on (defaulted from `setting.defaultChallengeIp`). |
|
||||
| `created_at` | TEXT | ISO 8601 timestamp. |
|
||||
| `category_id` | TEXT | FK → `category.id` (`ON DELETE RESTRICT`). |
|
||||
| `difficulty` | TEXT | `'LOW'` / `'MEDIUM'` / `'HIGH'`. |
|
||||
| `initial_points` | INTEGER | Starting point value (1–100000). |
|
||||
| `minimum_points` | INTEGER | Floor after decay (1–100000, must be ≤ `initial_points`). |
|
||||
| `decay_solves` | INTEGER | Solves at which decay reaches the minimum (1–10000). |
|
||||
| `flag` | TEXT | Submission string expected from players. **Never returned in non-admin DTOs.** |
|
||||
| `protocol` | TEXT | `'NC'` (netcat-style connection) or `'WEB'` (browser-based). |
|
||||
| `port` | INTEGER | TCP port (nullable for WEB, required 1–65535 for NC). |
|
||||
| `ip_address` | TEXT | IP the challenge listens on (defaults to `setting.defaultChallengeIp`). |
|
||||
| `enabled` | INTEGER | Boolean — 1 (default) or 0. |
|
||||
| `created_at` | TEXT | ISO 8601 timestamp the row was created. |
|
||||
| `updated_at` | TEXT | ISO 8601 timestamp the row was last updated (bumped on every PUT). |
|
||||
|
||||
The `UpgradeChallengeAdminSchema1700000000500` migration rebuilt
|
||||
the `challenge` table atomically (preserving legacy data), introduced
|
||||
canonical enums, the `enabled` flag, `updated_at`, the
|
||||
`LOWER(name)` unique index, and tighter scoring defaults. The
|
||||
category FK stays at `ON DELETE RESTRICT` so the
|
||||
`CATEGORY_HAS_CHALLENGES` business rule is preserved.

||||
|
||||
## `challenge_file`
|
||||
|
||||
| Column | Type | Description |
|
||||
|---------------------|---------|--------------------------------------|
|
||||
| `id` | TEXT PK | UUID v4. |
|
||||
| `challenge_id` | TEXT | FK → `challenge.id`. |
|
||||
| `challenge_id` | TEXT | FK → `challenge.id` (`ON DELETE CASCADE`). |
|
||||
| `original_filename` | TEXT | Filename from upload. |
|
||||
| `stored_path` | TEXT | Path on disk under `UPLOAD_DIR/challenges/`. |
|
||||
| `stored_filename` | TEXT | UUID-based filename on disk under `UPLOAD_DIR/challenges/`; unique. |
|
||||
| `mime_type` | TEXT | Source MIME type (defaults to `application/octet-stream`). |
|
||||
| `size_bytes` | INTEGER | Decoded file size in bytes. |
|
||||
| `created_at` | TEXT | ISO 8601 timestamp. |
|
||||
|
||||
The upgrade migration added `stored_filename`, `mime_type`,
|
||||
`size_bytes`, and `created_at`. The challenge → file FK was changed
|
||||
from `RESTRICT` to `CASCADE` so deleting a challenge in one DB
|
||||
transaction removes all its `ChallengeFile` rows in lockstep.
|
||||
|
||||
## `solve`
|
||||
|
||||
| Column | Type | Description |
|

|------------------|---------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|

| `id` | TEXT PK | UUID v4. |
|
||||
| `challenge_id` | TEXT | FK → `challenge.id`. |
|
||||
| `user_id` | TEXT | FK → `user.id`. |
|
||||
| `challenge_id` | TEXT | FK → `challenge.id` (`ON DELETE CASCADE`). |
|
||||
| `user_id` | TEXT | FK → `user.id` (`ON DELETE RESTRICT`). |
|
||||
| `solved_at` | TEXT | ISO 8601 timestamp the solve was recorded. |
|
||||
| `points_awarded` | INTEGER | Points actually awarded (after decay). |
|
||||
| `base_points` | INTEGER | Snapshot of `challenge.initial_points` at solve time. |
|
||||
| `rank_bonus` | INTEGER | Extra points from rank (e.g. first-blood). |
|
||||
| `is_first` | INTEGER | Boolean — first-blood flag. |
|
||||
| `is_second` | INTEGER | Boolean — second-blood flag. |
|
||||
| `is_third` | INTEGER | Boolean — third-blood flag. |
|
||||
|
||||
Uniqueness is enforced by `uq_solve_challenge_user` on
|
||||
`(challenge_id, user_id)` — a user can solve a given challenge only once.
|
||||
`uq_solve_challenge_user` on `(challenge_id, user_id)` is retained;
|
||||
deleting a challenge now cascades to its solve rows, while deleting
|
||||
a user still requires explicit handling (`user_id` remains
|
||||
`RESTRICT`).
