🛠️ Plex Database Guardian - Auto-Repair System

Description

Implement automated database repair functionality that executes repair scripts when corruption is detected by the integrity monitoring system.

Requirements

Automated Repair Execution: Trigger repair scripts when corruption is detected
Multiple Repair Strategies: Different repair approaches based on corruption severity
Safe Repair Process: Ensure Plex service management during repairs
Backup Before Repair: Always create backup before attempting repairs

Repair Strategies

Level 1 - SQLite Auto-Repair: Use SQLite's built-in repair capabilities
```
sqlite3 database.db ".recover" | sqlite3 repaired.db
```
Level 2 - Backup Restoration: Restore from most recent validated backup
Level 3 - Manual Intervention: Flag for human review when auto-repair fails

Safety Mechanisms

Service Management: Stop Plex service before repair operations
Pre-Repair Backup: Always backup current database before repair attempts
Validation After Repair: Verify repair success before restarting services
Rollback Capability: Restore original database if repair fails

Integration with Monitoring

Triggered automatically by integrity monitoring system (Issue #16)
Integration with existing Plex backup infrastructure
Connect to notification system for repair status updates
Use established logging and performance tracking

Repair Process Flow

1. Corruption detected by integrity monitoring
2. Stop Plex service safely
3. Create emergency backup of corrupted database
4. Attempt appropriate repair strategy
5. Validate repair success
6. Restart Plex service
7. Send notification of repair results

Monitoring and Logging

Track repair success/failure rates
Log repair duration and methods used
Generate repair reports for analysis
Integration with performance monitoring system

Priority

🚨 Critical - System-breaking issues

Dependencies

Requires Issue #16 (Automated Integrity Monitoring) to be implemented first
