parse created [ ] failed

Error message

parse created [%s] failed: %w

What it means

ResolveHistoryAttributeViewBoxID parses the history 'created' timestamp as a Unix seconds integer to build the history directory prefix. If the string is not a valid integer, strconv.ParseInt fails and the error is wrapped with the offending value for diagnostics.

Solutions

1. Pass created as a Unix-seconds integer string (e.g. "1726963200")
2. Convert any other timestamp format to Unix seconds before calling
3. Check the history entry source for corrupted or empty created values

Example fix

// before
boxID, err := model.ResolveHistoryAttributeViewBoxID(avID, "2026-09-18 10:00:00")
// after
created := strconv.FormatInt(entry.Created.Unix(), 10)
boxID, err := model.ResolveHistoryAttributeViewBoxID(avID, created)

createdUnix, err := strconv.ParseInt(created, 10, 64)
if err != nil { return fmt.Errorf("created must be unix seconds, got %q", created) }

boxID, err := model.ResolveHistoryAttributeViewBoxID(avID, created)
if err != nil && strings.HasPrefix(err.Error(), "parse created") {
    return ErrBadHistoryTimestamp
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling ResolveHistoryAttributeViewBoxID with a created value that is empty, non-numeric, in a wrong format (e.g. ISO date string instead of Unix seconds), or truncated.

Common situations: History entries produced by an older version storing a different timestamp format; passing a human-readable date string from UI state; nil/empty field in history metadata.
