Description

What problem does this PR solve?
update_entry/delete_entry accept only entry UUIDs, so small local models can't complete "move X to dinner" or "delete X from breakfast" — they invent placeholder ids or fabricate success with no tool call.

How did you implement the solution?
Both actions now also accept food_name (+ optional entry_date, defaulting to today), resolved against the diary the same way log_food already resolves food names. A unique match acts directly; multiple matches return the candidates with their ids so the model retries with entry_id; delete_entry additionally accepts meal_type/meal_type_id to narrow. The tool description and both food prompts teach the name-based path.

Linked Issue: Closes #2101

How to Test

  1. Check out this branch, cd SparkyFitnessServer && pnpm test (10 new tests cover the resolution, ambiguity, narrowing, not-found, and description surfaces; full suite 2957 passing).
  2. With any small local model as the chat provider (measured with qwen3-vl:4b-instruct via ollama), log a food, then say "Move the from lunch to dinner today" and "Delete the from today's breakfast".
  3. Verify against food_entries that the row actually moved/disappeared — not just the reply text.

Measured end to end on a clean server + fresh DB with qwen3-vl:4b-instruct (5 runs per scenario, DB rows checked, not reply text):

Scenario v1.6.1 this branch
"Delete the X from today's breakfast" 0/4 (invented ids, then asked the user for a UUID) 5/5
"Move the X from lunch to dinner today" 0/8 (fabricated "Moved!", zero tool calls) 5/5
Same name in two meals, delete without narrowing 2/2 safe: candidates with ids returned, nothing deleted

Checklist

All PRs:

  • [MANDATORY - ALL] Integrity & License: I certify this is my own work, free of malicious code, and I agree to the License terms.

New features only:

  • [MANDATORY for new feature] Alignment: I have raised a GitHub issue and it was reviewed/approved by maintainers or it was approved on Discord.

Backend changes (SparkyFitnessServer/):

  • [MANDATORY for Backend changes] Code Quality: I have run typecheck, lint, and tests. New files use TypeScript, new endpoints have Zod schemas, and new endpoints include tests.
  • [MANDATORY for Backend changes] Database Security: No new tables; no RLS changes needed.

Notes for Reviewers

  • The either-or requirement (entry_id or food_name) lives in a .refine on the union members (zod 4 allows refinements inside discriminated unions); runtime behavior is unchanged for every existing entry_id call — all prior tests pass untouched.
  • One known limitation measured honestly: the follow-up shape ("Log X" → "Actually, move that to dinner") still fabricates on a 4B model (0/5) — the model pattern-completes the conversation without calling any tool. Direct imperatives work 5/5. That looks like a separate history-priming problem rather than a tool-surface one; happy to open a follow-up issue with the data if useful.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Delete or update food diary entries by food name without requiring an entry ID.
    • Resolve entries using date and meal-type filters.
    • Receive clear results for unique matches, missing entries, or duplicate matches requiring selection.
    • Update entries while moving them to a different meal type.
    • Continue managing meal entries directly by entry ID.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance for name-based food entry management and handling ambiguous matches.

update_entry and delete_entry accepted only entry UUIDs, which requires
chaining get_food_diary -> extract id -> act. Small local models cannot
complete that chain: observed placeholder ids (entry_uuid_here), invented
ids, a hallucinated sparky_delete_entry tool, and fabricated success
messages with no tool call at all (CodeWithCJ#2101).

food_name is now accepted in place of entry_id, resolved against the
diary for entry_date (default today) the same way log_food already
resolves food names. A unique match acts directly; multiple matches
return the candidates with their ids so the model can retry with
entry_id; delete_entry additionally accepts meal_type/meal_type_id to
narrow when the same food appears in several meals. The tool description
and the food prompts now teach the name-based path; measured end to end
with qwen3-vl:4b-instruct via ollama, delete-by-name went 0/4 -> 5/5 and
direct move-to-another-meal 0/8 -> 5/5, with ambiguous names safely
returning candidates instead of deleting (2/2).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

delete_entry and update_entry now accept food names as alternatives to entry IDs. The server resolves matching diary entries by date and meal type, reports ambiguity candidates, and uses the resolved ID for updates or deletions.

Changes

Food entry resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Entry identifier contracts
SparkyFitnessServer/ai/tools/schemas/food.ts, SparkyFitnessServer/ai/tools/foodTools.ts, SparkyFitnessServer/prompts/chatbot-*.md, SparkyFitnessServer/tests/chatServiceClassifier.test.ts, SparkyFitnessServer/tests/chatbotToolSchemas.test.ts
delete_entry and update_entry accept entry_id or food_name. Schemas validate identifiers and meal-entry restrictions. Prompts describe name resolution, ambiguity handling, and same-turn execution.
Name resolution and deletion
SparkyFitnessServer/ai/tools/foodTools.ts, SparkyFitnessServer/tests/chatbotToolsFood.test.ts
Food names resolve case-insensitively by date. Deletion can narrow matches by meal type and reports unique, ambiguous, or missing matches.
Name resolution and updates
SparkyFitnessServer/ai/tools/foodTools.ts, SparkyFitnessServer/tests/chatbotToolsFood.test.ts
Updates resolve names without using meal type as a lookup filter. The resolved ID is used for metadata lookup, movement, component updates, and errors. Meal type is treated as the destination.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7f62b

The new name-based deletion flow can report that an entry was deleted even when no database row was removed, which may mislead users and leave their diary unchanged. Merge should wait for this behavior to be corrected or explicitly accepted by the owner.

1916-1930: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Check the deletion result before confirming success.

At Line 1917, deleteFoodEntry can return false when no row is deleted. This handler ignores that result and returns Entry deleted. at Line 1930. A concurrent deletion after name resolution can therefore report success without changing the diary. Return ERRORS.NOT_FOUND when the delete operation reports no affected entry.

Review feedback: resolveFoodEntryByName and its call sites dropped to any
casts — replaced with a DiaryEntryNameRow projection type and explicit
resolver args. And food_name + entry_type food_entry_meal silently
resolved a plain food entry and overwrote the caller's type; the schemas
now reject that combination (name resolution covers food entries only,
meal entries keep the entry_id path).
