Phase 13 Plan 01: Add Content Deduplication Summary

MD5 content hashing prevents duplicate files in generations folder with hash-prefixed filenames for O(1) lookup

Performance

  • Duration: 1 min
  • Started: 2026-01-12T10:03:51Z
  • Completed: 2026-01-12T10:04:52Z
  • Tasks: 2
  • Files modified: 1

Accomplishments

  • Added MD5 content hashing to save-generation API
  • Implemented duplicate detection by hash prefix lookup
  • Changed filename format to {hash}_{prompt}.{ext} for fast dedup checks
  • Added isDuplicate boolean to API response for caller awareness
  • Added deduplication event logging for observability

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

  1. Task 1 & 2: Content hashing and duplicate detection - 0e496bc (feat)

Plan metadata: (this commit)

Note: Tasks 1 and 2 were completed together as the implementation naturally combined both concerns.

Files Created/Modified

  • src/app/api/save-generation/route.ts - Added crypto import, hash computation, duplicate check, hash-prefixed filenames, isDuplicate response field

Decisions Made

  • MD5 over SHA256: MD5 is faster for binary data and collision resistance is not critical for local file deduplication (worst case is a rare false duplicate, not a security issue)
  • Hash in filename: Enables O(1) duplicate lookup via files.find(f => f.startsWith(hash)) instead of reading/hashing all existing files

Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

Issues Encountered

None

Next Phase Readiness

  • Phase 13 complete (single plan phase)
  • Deduplication active for all new generations
  • Existing files in generations folder (without hash prefix) will not be deduplicated against, but new files will deduplicate against each other
  • Ready for Phase 14: Fix Drag-Connect Node Creation Bugs
