The QueryWriter interface and queryToString function had zero callers. The commented-out insertQueryToString was a Bob remnant. The io import was only used in this file.

nidus-sync — Cleanup Tasks
This file lists code, files, and patterns that are remnants of older architectural approaches. These should be removed to reduce complexity, maintenance burden, and confusion.
1. Bob → Jet Migration (Incomplete)
Status: Bob is still the primary ORM. Jet was introduced May 2026 but only covers 3 schemas partially.
1a. Port remaining schemas from Bob to Jet
Jet-based queries exist for:
db/query/public/— address, communication, communication_log_entry, compliance_report_request, feature, feature_pool, job, lead, signal, sitedb/query/publicreport/— compliance, image, image_exif, nuisance, report, report_image, report_log, waterdb/query/arcgis/— account, oauth, service_feature, service_map, user, user_privileges
Still using Bob directly (not yet ported to Jet queries):
platform/report/notification.go(13 bob references)platform/background/background.go(8)platform/arcgis.go(8)platform/text/send.go(7)platform/report/some_report.go(6)platform/site.go(5)platform/csv/flyover.go(7)platform/csv/pool.go(5)platform/csv/csv.go(4)platform/text/report.go(4)platform/text/phone_number.go(3)platform/publicreport/log.go(3)platform/mailer.go(3)platform/email/template.go(2)db/connection.go(4 — bob.Tx types)db/prepared.go(2)resource/review_task.go(2)rmo/status.go(2)rmo/report.go(1)rmo/mailer.go(1)- Plus many api/* files
1b. Remove Bob-generated models after migration
Once all queries are ported to Jet, delete the 103 .bob.go files in db/models/:
db/models/*.bob.go
1c. Remove Bob-specific helper files
These are Bob-specific and can be removed once Bob is fully replaced:
db/dberrors/— Bob error types (still referenced)db/dbinfo/— Bob type info (still referenced)db/models/bob_loaders.bob.godb/models/bob_where.bob.go
1d. Remove Bob from go.mod and dependencies
After all Bob code is gone:
- Remove
github.com/Gleipnir-Technology/bobfromgo.mod - Run
go mod tidy
1e. Remove Bob codegen scripts
db/bobgen.shdb/bobgen.yaml
1f. Regenerate Jet output
The db/jet/main.go generator outputs to db/gen/ but no output is currently checked in. Run the generator and ensure generated code is usable:
cd db/jet && go run .
2. Go HTML Templates → Vue SPA (Mostly Complete)
Status: Nearly all Go template routes are commented out in sync/routes.go and rmo/routes.go. Both hosts serve Vue SPAs via static.SinglePageApp(). Some Go template routes remain active.
2a. Remaining active Go template routes (sync)
These routes in sync/routes.go still render Go templates:
/oauth/arcgis/begin→getArcgisOauthBegin(redirect, no template but in Go)/oauth/arcgis/callback→getArcgisOauthCallback/mailer/pool/random→getMailerPoolRandom/mailer/mode-1→getMailer1(generates PDF)/mailer/mode-2→getMailer2(generates PDF)/mailer/mode-3/{code}→getMailer3(generates PDF)/mailer/mode-1/preview→getMailer1Preview/mailer/mode-2/preview→getMailer2Preview/mailer/mode-3/{code}/preview→getMailer3Preview/privacy→getPrivacy
The mailer routes use platform/pdf which in turn uses headless Chrome (chromedp) to render HTML to PDF. This is legitimate server-side functionality, not just a template remnant. However, the PDF templates themselves may be candidates for migration to the Vue ecosystem.
2b. Remove all commented-out routes
Both sync/routes.go and rmo/routes.go have large blocks of commented-out route registrations. Remove these once migration is confirmed complete.
2c. Remove unused Go template files
Once all routes are ported or confirmed dead, remove the entire html/template/ directory. The html/ package (html/embed.go, html/filesystem.go, html/func.go, etc.) should also be removed once nothing references it.
2d. Reduce the html/ package surface
Note: The html/ package is still actively imported by 40+ Go files. It provides:
- Template rendering (
html/embed.go,html/filesystem.go) — mostly for mailer PDFs and privacy page html.ContentConfig— used extensively in sync/routes (mailer previews, admin pages)html.MakeGet,html.MakePost— HTTP handler wrappers (used by activesync/routes)html.RespondError— HTTP error responses- Form parsing, image upload handling, URL building
Short-term: Remove the template rendering portion once mailer PDFs and privacy page are migrated.
Long-term: The full html/ package can be removed only after all server-rendered pages are gone and handler wrappers are replaced with the resource/ pattern.
3. esbuild (build.js) — Removed ✅
(Completed 2026-05-09: build.js removed and pkgs.esbuild dropped from flake.nix devShell — Vite is the build tool)
4. Legacy Static JavaScript Files
Status: static/js/ contains 20 plain JavaScript files written as custom HTML elements and standalone scripts for the Go template era. These are referenced by old Go HTML templates but most of those templates are now unused.
4a. Files in static/js/
address-display.js
address-or-report-suggestion.js
address-suggestion.js
events.js
geocode.js
location.js
map-admin.js
map-aggregate.js
map-arcgis-tile.js
map-cell.js
map-locator.js
map-locator-ro.js
map-multipoint.js
map-proxied-arcgis-tile.js
map-routing.js
map-service-area.js
photo-upload.js
table-report.js
table-site.js
time-relative.js
user-selector.js
4b. Determine which are still used
The remaining active Go templates (mailer, oauth, privacy) may reference some of these. Check each active template for <script src="/static/js/..."> references. Templates that are confirmed unused:
- All templates in
html/template/sync/(dashboard, cell, communication-root, district, intelligence, layout, operations-root, planning-root, radar, review, sudo, upload-*) — these are replaced by Vue SPAs - Most templates in
html/template/rmo/— RMO routes are all commented out
4c. Migrate any still-needed functionality
The map-locator, address-suggestion, and photo-upload functionality has Vue equivalents in ts/components/. The remaining custom element patterns should be fully replaced by Vue components.
5. TomTom Integration — Removed ✅
(Completed 2026-05-09: tomtom/ directory removed — zero imports outside itself, Stadia Maps is now the geocoding/tile provider)
6. Postgrid — Alternate Mail Provider
Status: postgrid/ contains a single CLI tool (cmd/send-pdf) and a postgrid Go package reference in main.go. Lob is now the mail provider, with its own integration in lob/.
6a. Investigate and remove if unused
- Check if Postgrid is actually being used in production vs Lob
- If Lob is the chosen provider, remove
postgrid/entirely - Remove any Postgrid configuration references
7. Duplicate Architecture: api/ vs resource/
Status: The api/ package contains both route registration (api/routes.go) and handler functions (api/signin.go, api/publicreport.go, api/compliance.go, etc.). The resource/ package provides typed resource handlers that expose List, Get, Create, etc. Some functionality exists in both layers.
7a. Consolidate handler functions
Functions in api/ that directly handle business logic should be moved to resource/:
api/signin.go—postSignin,postSignout,postSignupapi/compliance.go— various compliance handlersapi/publicreport.go—postPublicreportInvalid,postPublicreportSignal,postPublicreportMessageapi/sudo.go—postSudoEmail,postSudoSMS,postSudoSSEapi/configuration.go—postConfigurationIntegrationArcgisapi/review.go—postReviewPoolapi/twilio.go,api/voipms.go— webhook handlersapi/audio.go,api/image.go— media upload handlersapi/tile.go,api/debug.go— utilities
7b. Standardize on resource pattern
Either move everything to resource/ or keep both but clearly define responsibilities:
resource/— domain resource CRUD + URI generationapi/— route registration + HTTP concerns only
Currently the split is unclear and some api/ files do substantial business logic.
8. arcgis-go Submodule — Not Checked Out
Status: The arcgis-go submodule (referenced in .gitmodules) is not checked out (empty directory). The external github.com/Gleipnir-Technology/arcgis-go package is used via go.mod instead.
8a. Remove submodule
git submodule deinit arcgis-go
git rm arcgis-go
Verify that all code references use the external package, not a local path.
9. go-geojson2h3 Local Copy
Status: go-geojson2h3/ is also a submodule. The external package github.com/Gleipnir-Technology/go-geojson2h3/v2 is imported in go.mod. Only h3utils/h3.go references it.
9a. Consolidate
- If the local copy isn't needed, remove the submodule
- If local modifications exist, merge upstream or maintain intentionally with documentation
10. Old Generated Files & Artifacts
10a. query.go at project root — Removed ✅
10b. db/sql/ directory
Contains .bob.go and .bob.sql files — these are Bob-style named queries. Once Bob is removed, these can be cleaned up or migrated to Jet equivalents.
10c. static/gen/main.js
A leftover built artifact. The new build output goes to static/gen/sync/ and static/gen/rmo/ via Vite. Ensure static/gen/ is in .gitignore and the stale main.js is removed.
10d. static/css/placeholder
Empty placeholder file. Remove.
11. Nix devShell Cleanup
Status: flake.nix devShell includes several tools from older workflows:
11a. Potentially unnecessary devShell packages
pkgs.esbuild— replaced by Vite (keep only ifbuild.jsis retained)pkgs.dart-sass— Vue/Vite uses thesassnpm package; check if Go code invokes dart-sass directlypkgs.autoprefixer— may not be needed with Vite's built-in PostCSS
12. Start Scripts — Consolidate
Status: Four start scripts exist:
| Script | Purpose |
|---|---|
start-air.sh |
Development with air (live reload) |
start-flogo.sh |
Unknown (references flogo) |
start-nidus-sync.sh |
Production-like direct run |
start-nix-built.sh |
Run Nix-built output |
start-flogo.sh may be a remnant. Investigate and remove if unused.
