Schnappschüsse
A snapshot is a versioned JSON capture of the source instance: SQL schema, enabled modules, extrafields, and integration metadata. It is not a full database dump.
Typical contents
- Table/column/index inventory
- Custom modules and declared versions
- Extrafields and FK links
- Integrity probes (orphans, malformed JSON)
Reference snapshots
For the target version, Knot Migration downloads a signed snapshot from license.knot.tools. The Ed25519 signature is verified before any comparison.
Cache and TTL
Reference snapshots are cached under documents/knotmigration/. An expired snapshot triggers a degraded modes banner and blocks new analyses until refresh.
Lifecycle
- Local generation during the diagnostic
- Comparison with the target reference
- Archival for history and later dry-run runs
