Follow-up to #210 — the two Greptile findings were fixed on the branch but #210 merged moments before the push, so they missed the merge.

  • P1: syncVectorDimension now only writes when the collection's dimension is still the placeholder 0, so it fills the value for pre-dimension archives but never overwrites an archived dimension; additional vector column imports are no-ops.
  • P2: Collection::jsonSerialize omits dimension when unset, so documentsdb and other non-vector collection archive lines keep their previous shape.

syncVectorDimension now only writes when the collection's dimension is
the placeholder, so a second vector column can't overwrite an archived
value, and Collection::jsonSerialize omits dimension when unset so
non-vector collection lines keep their previous shape.

Greptile Summary

This PR updates how VectorsDB collection dimensions are serialized and synced. The main changes are:

  • Fill missing VectorsDB dimensions only when the stored value is 0.
  • Omit dimension from collection JSON when it is unset.
  • Update the collection unit test for the new unset-dimension shape.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The VectorsDB dimension sync path can leave stale collection metadata after import.

  • Non-vector collection serialization remains compatible with the existing missing-key handling.
  • The changed sync guard skips archived non-zero dimensions even when they disagree with the imported vector column size.
  • This can leave the destination collection dimension out of sync with the created vector column.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
src/Migration/Destinations/Appwrite.php Changes VectorsDB dimension syncing to skip every non-zero stored dimension, which can preserve stale collection metadata.
src/Migration/Resources/Database/Collection.php Omits dimension from serialized collection data when it is unset, while existing deserialization still maps a missing key to null.
tests/Migration/Unit/Resources/CollectionTest.php Updates the unset-dimension test to expect the serialized key to be absent.

### Issue 1 of 1
src/Migration/Destinations/Appwrite.php:1338-1340
**Stale Vector Dimension Persists**

When an imported VectorsDB collection already has a non-zero archived `dimension` that differs from the vector column size, this guard now skips the sync that used to correct the mismatch. A collection archived with `dimension: 256` and a vector column size of `1536` can leave the destination collection metadata at `256` after the vector column is created, so later vector writes or queries can validate against stale dimensions.

```suggestion
        if ((int) $table->getAttribute('dimension', 0) === $resource->getSize()) {
            return;
        }
```

Valid — but the suggested revert reintroduces the multi-vector overwrite from the #210 review. Fixed in the follow-up by keying the sync to the schema-defining embeddings column: it alone drives dimension (correcting mismatches and the placeholder), other vector columns never touch it.
