fix(buckets): render device.device_id instead of missing device.id

[TimeToBuildBob]

bucketsByDevice returns device_id; the Raw Data card interpolated device.id. Dead while data.device_id is unpopulated (hostname fallback makes the v-if never true), and it would show ID: undefined once ActivityWatch/activitywatch#302 starts writing real device IDs.

• Template: device.id → device.device_id
• Test: mismatch branch with a fixture that carries data.device_id, plus the several-IDs collection

Does not populate data.device_id itself — that's the identity work. Independent of the aw-sync v0.14.0 slice.

Fixes #982

The PR changes the Buckets view to display device.device_id instead of the nonexistent device.id, and updates the bucketsByDevice getter to prefer a UUID-shaped device_id over a hostname fallback when grouping buckets by device. It adds two test files: a static source check for the template and a unit test suite for the bucketsByDevice getter.

Needs a look — P2 only

Confidence 4/5

2 findings · ⚠️ 2 P2

⚠️ P2 medium — src/stores/buckets.ts:176

The new device_id selection logic in bucketsByDevice can pick a device_id that is not actually a device ID but a hostname from a different group, because the second fallback device_ids.find(id => !hostnameSet.has(id.toLowerCase())) only excludes hostnames from the current group. If a bucket in the group has data.device_id set to a hostname-like string that is not in the current group's hostnames (e.g., a legacy bucket with data.device_id: 'other-host'), and no UUID-shaped ID exists, the getter will return that foreign hostname as the device_id. The Buckets view then shows ID: other-host even though that is not a device ID, and the hostname !== device.device_id guard makes the label appear, misleading the user. The test 'UUID-shaped device_id wins even over a non-group hostname-like id' only covers the case where a UUID exists, so the fallback path is untested. This is a real correctness issue in the fallback heuristic, not just a missing test, because the code as written will mislabel devices when a non-UUID, non-group-hostname string is present.

Consider also excluding device_ids that match any known hostname from the full bucket list, or only accept UUID-shaped IDs and fall back to the first entry otherwise.

_{How this was verified: Traced the logic: device_ids is built from b.data.device_id || b.hostname. If a bucket has data.device_id='other-host' and no UUID exists, the first find fails, the second find matches 'other-host' because it's not in hostnameSet (which only contains hostnames from the group), so device_id becomes 'other-host'. The view then shows ID: other-host.}

⚠️ P2 medium — test/unit/store/buckets.test.node.ts:69

The test 'prefers real UUID over hostname fallback in mixed group' uses data: { device_id: 'real-uuid-xyz' } which is not a UUID-shaped string (it lacks the 8-4-4-4-12 hyphen pattern). The UUID_RE regex requires a specific format, so 'real-uuid-xyz' does not match. The test expects device_id to be 'real-uuid-xyz', but the code's first find (UUID_RE.test) will fail, then the second find checks if it's in hostnameSet; 'real-uuid-xyz' is not a hostname, so it will be selected by the second fallback. The test passes, but it does not actually test the UUID preference; it tests the non-hostname fallback. The test name and comment claim it verifies UUID preference, but the fixture does not contain a real UUID. This is a test defect: the assertion passes for the wrong reason, so the UUID-preference branch is not actually exercised.

Change the fixture to a real UUID-shaped string, e.g., 'f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6', to actually exercise the UUID_RE branch.

_{How this was verified: Checked the UUID_RE regex: /^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}$/i. 'real-uuid-xyz' does not match because it has letters beyond hex and no hyphens in the right places. The test still passes because the second fallback selects it.}

Files changed (4) — the diff as I read it

• src/stores/buckets.ts — Adds logic in bucketsByDevice to select a device_id preferring UUID-shaped values, then non-hostname values, then the first entry.
• src/views/Buckets.vue — Changes the ID label to render device.device_id and adds a guard for device.device_id existence.
• test/unit/Buckets.test.js — Adds a static test asserting the template uses device.device_id and not device.id.
• test/unit/store/buckets.test.node.ts — Adds unit tests for bucketsByDevice covering hostname fallback, UUID preference, case-insensitivity, and multiple device_ids.

[TimeToBuildBob]

Fixed in d2ec3d7.

The root cause: when a hostname group had both buckets without data.device_id (falling back to hostname) and buckets with a real UUID, device_ids[0] could be the hostname fallback. The hostname !== device_id guard then hid the label even though a UUID was present in the group.

Fix: prefer any non-hostname entry in device_ids before falling back to device_ids[0]:

const device_id = device_ids.find(id => id !== hostname) || device_ids[0];

Added a test for the mixed-bucket case ('prefers real UUID over hostname fallback in mixed group').

@ErikBjare You're right — I declared merge-ready while Greptile still had a P1. Mixed groups could pick the hostname fallback as device.device_id and hide a UUID that was already in the group. That's d2ec3d7. Greptile re-reviewed 5/5, CI green. Now actually waiting on a merge click.

[TimeToBuildBob]

Review cycle converged. Both remaining AI-review threads are now resolved (dispositions posted on-thread, no code change):

• src/stores/buckets.ts fallback heuristic — the case-sensitivity half was fixed in 1d2562c; the residual (rendering a non-UUID data.device_id when the group has no UUID) is the intended behaviour — accepted trade-off, not a bug.
• Mixed-group test fixture precision — the UUID-preference branch is covered by the adjacent real-UUID test, so no coverage gap remains.

Status: CI green, MERGEABLE/CLEAN, 0 unresolved threads. Maintainer merge only — Bob has pull-only access on ActivityWatch/aw-webui, so this still needs a maintainer click.

[TimeToBuildBob]

Merged as efb8d4dd — thanks. I rechecked the final state: all 8 checks passed, the mixed-group P1 is fixed, and the linked issue #982 is closed. Nothing remains on this PR; population of data.device_id is the separate ActivityWatch/activitywatch#302 lane.
