# Summary: Verification and Record Management

## What Was Done

### Task 1: Sync Verification (--verify flag)
- Added `--verify` flag for quick verification (count comparison + 5-record spot-check per type)
- Added `--verify-deep` flag for full field-by-field comparison
- Added `verify_sync()` function with comprehensive comparison logic
- Added `lookup()` method to CloudKit class for efficient record retrieval
- Added interactive menu options 14-15 for verification

### Task 2: Individual Record Management
- Added `--get TYPE ID` for retrieving and displaying single records
- Added `--list TYPE [--count]` for listing recordNames or count
- Added `--update-record TYPE ID FIELD=VALUE` with conflict handling
- Added `--delete-record TYPE ID [--force]` with confirmation prompt
- Added triple lookup fallback: direct -> deterministic UUID -> canonicalId query
- Automatic numeric value parsing for update fields
- Conflict detection with automatic forceReplace retry on CONFLICT

## Key Decisions

- **Triple lookup fallback**: Records can be found by recordName (UUID), deterministic UUID from canonical ID, or query by canonicalId field. This handles both old random-UUID records and new deterministic-UUID records.
- **Automatic forceReplace on CONFLICT**: When updating, if the record was modified since lookup, automatically retry with forceReplace to avoid lost updates.
- **Deletion confirmation**: Requires explicit "yes" confirmation unless --force is provided, preventing accidental data loss.

## Commits

1. `5763db4` - feat(05-02): add sync verification with --verify flag
2. `5a08659` - feat(05-02): add individual record management commands

## Verification Results

- `--verify` reports accurate count comparison: ✓
- `--verify-deep` performs full field comparison: ✓
- `--get TYPE ID` retrieves and displays records: ✓
- `--list TYPE [--count]` lists recordNames or count: ✓
- `--update-record` updates fields with conflict handling: ✓
- `--delete-record` deletes with confirmation: ✓
- Menu options 14-15 work: ✓

## Files Modified

- `Scripts/cloudkit_import.py` - Added verification and record management functionality (~550 lines added)

## Phase Status

Phase 5 (CloudKit CRUD) is now **complete**. Full CRUD operations supported:
- **Create**: Original import functionality (forceReplace)
- **Read**: `--get`, `--list`, `--verify`, `query_all()`
- **Update**: `--update-record` with conflict handling, `--smart-sync`
- **Delete**: `--delete-record`, `--delete-orphans`, `--delete-all`
