Waleed 387fa378a5 fix(knowledge): purge trashed Google Sheets tabs on a normal sync (#5883)
* fix(knowledge): purge trashed Google Sheets tabs on a normal sync

Trashing a spreadsheet made listDocuments return an empty listing,
but the sync engine's zero-document guard skips deletion
reconciliation whenever a listing comes back empty and documents
already exist — it can't tell a genuinely empty source apart from a
provider outage. For a single-spreadsheet connector, trashing its
one source item empties the entire listing, so the guard always
fired and the stale tabs never got cleaned up on a normal sync,
contradicting the documented behavior.

Add shouldSkipEmptyListing, mirroring shouldReconcileDeletions: a
connector can now set syncContext.sourceConfirmedEmpty when it has
positively confirmed the empty result against the source (not
merely inferred it from an empty listing page), letting
reconciliation proceed. The Google Sheets connector sets this flag
when it confirms the spreadsheet is trashed via a direct Drive
metadata lookup. No other connector sets it, so this doesn't change
behavior anywhere else.

* fix(knowledge): let sourceConfirmedEmpty also bypass the mass-deletion safety threshold

The zero-document guard bypass alone wasn't enough: for a trashed
spreadsheet with more than 5 tabs, reconciliation would proceed but
the separate mass-deletion ratio guard (>50% deleted, >5 docs) still
blocked the actual delete on a normal sync, requiring a forced full
resync anyway. Extracted the ratio guard into
exceedsDeletionSafetyThreshold, mirroring shouldSkipEmptyListing, so
a connector's positive source confirmation bypasses both guards
consistently.

Sim — Integrate, Context, Build, and Monitor AI agents

A workspace to build, deploy and manage AI agents and workflows.

Quickstart

Cloud-hosted: sim.ai

Open sim.ai

Self-hosted

npx simstudio

Open http://localhost:3000

Docker must be installed and running. Use -p, --port <port> to run Sim on a different port, or --no-pull to skip pulling the latest Docker images.

The Sim platform — chat on the left, the visual workflow builder on the right

Capabilities

  • Connect 1,000+ integrations and every major LLM
  • Add Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, databases, and more
  • Build agents visually, conversationally, or with code
  • Ingest files, knowledge bases, and structured table data
  • Monitor runs, logs, schedules, and workflow activity

One workspace, every surface

Chat and workflows are just the start — tables, files, knowledge, and scheduled tasks all live in the same workspace.

Tables in Sim — structured data your agents can query

Tables — a database, built in

Files in Sim — documents for your team and every agent

Files — one store for your team and every agent

Knowledge bases in Sim — synced docs your agents can search

Knowledge — your agents' memory

Scheduled tasks in Sim — recurring agent runs on a calendar

Scheduled tasks — runs on your schedule

Self-hosting

Docker Compose

git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Open http://localhost:3000

Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM. See the Docker self-hosting docs for setup details.

Manual Setup

Requirements: Bun, Node.js v20+, PostgreSQL 12+ with pgvector

  1. Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
bun run prepare  # Set up pre-commit hooks
  1. Set up PostgreSQL with pgvector:
docker run --name simstudio-db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password -e POSTGRES_DB=simstudio -p 5432:5432 -d pgvector/pgvector:pg17

Or install manually via the pgvector guide.

  1. Configure environment:
cp apps/sim/.env.example apps/sim/.env
# Create your secrets
perl -i -pe "s/your_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_internal_api_secret/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_api_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
# DB configs for migration
cp packages/db/.env.example packages/db/.env
# Edit both .env files to set DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:your_password@localhost:5432/simstudio"
  1. Run migrations:
cd packages/db && bun run db:migrate
  1. Start development servers:
bun run dev:full  # Starts Next.js app and realtime socket server

Or run separately: bun run dev (Next.js) and cd apps/sim && bun run dev:sockets (realtime).

Chat API Keys

Chat is a Sim-managed service. To use Chat on a self-hosted instance:

  • Go to https://sim.ai → Settings → Chat keys and generate a Chat API key
  • Set COPILOT_API_KEY environment variable in your self-hosted apps/sim/.env file to that value

Environment Variables

See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
