What

L2 of the spam-data-retention roadmap. Emits de-identified labeled samples to SQS at the moderation boundary, so the spam-model training signal survives content deletion that L1's passive DB extraction can't recover:

  • clearCommunityWatchOriginalContent nulls the snapshot,
  • account archival/ban can purge content.

A separate Lambda worker (in spam-detection-scaffold/workers/spam_sample_worker.py) consumes the queue and appends to the S3 training bucket.

How

  • common/notifications/spamSample.tsenqueueSpamSample, mirrors enqueueReportAlert: best-effort SQS, never throws, no-op when the queue/salt is unconfigured. Comment/author ids are HMAC-SHA256(salt) at emit, so no raw ids ever enter the queue; only the text the model trains on is carried verbatim.
  • Wired:
    • communityWatchRemoveComment → confirmed spam at removal time.
    • clearCommunityWatchOriginalContent → capture before the snapshot is nulled; a reversed action ⇒ hard-negative ham.
  • env: MATTERS_AWS_SPAM_SAMPLE_QUEUE_URL, MATTERS_SPAM_SAMPLE_HASH_SALT.

Privacy / governance

De-identified at source (HMAC ids, no contactable PII); only model-relevant text retained. Legal cleared the retention direction (2026-06-13); concrete retention period TBD. The training corpus lives in a separate S3 bucket decoupled from the operational DB so account deletion still fully removes user-facing content.

Off by default

No-op until ops provisions the SQS queue + MATTERS_SPAM_SAMPLE_HASH_SALT and deploys the worker. Zero behavior change otherwise.

Test plan

  • With queue+salt set: removing a comment / clearing original content enqueues exactly one de-identified message; ids are hashes, not raw.
  • Queue outage / unset → mutation still succeeds (best-effort).
  • reversed action via clear path → label=0 (ham).

L2 of the spam-data-retention roadmap: emit de-identified labeled samples to
SQS at the moderation boundary so the spam-model training signal survives later
content deletion that L1's passive DB extraction can't recover —
clearCommunityWatchOriginalContent nulls the snapshot, and account purge erases
content.

- common/notifications/spamSample.ts: enqueueSpamSample, mirrors
  enqueueReportAlert (best-effort SQS, never throws, no-op when unconfigured).
  Ids are HMAC-SHA256(salt) at emit so no raw user/content ids enter the queue;
  only the text the model trains on is carried verbatim.
- wired: communityWatchRemoveComment (confirmed spam at removal),
  clearCommunityWatchOriginalContent (capture before the snapshot is nulled;
  reversed action -> hard-negative ham).
- env: MATTERS_AWS_SPAM_SAMPLE_QUEUE_URL, MATTERS_SPAM_SAMPLE_HASH_SALT.

A separate Lambda worker consumes the queue and appends de-identified rows to
the S3 training bucket (see spam-detection-scaffold). Off until ops provisions
the queue + salt.

The clear mutation now snapshots the action before nulling (axis-2 L2), so its
test context must provide findCommunityWatchActionByUUID. enqueueSpamSample
no-ops without queue/salt env, so nothing is sent in tests.

Mirror reportAlert.test.ts: payload shape, HMAC de-identification (ids hashed,
never raw + deterministic), null score for ham, and no-op guards (queue unset /
salt unset / blank text) + AWS-error swallowing. Brings spamSample.ts diff
coverage to green.
CI test scripts only run build/{connectors,common/utils,routes,types}; the
common/notifications dir has no script, so the standalone spamSample.test.ts
never ran and spamSample.ts stayed at 38%. Remove that dead test and instead
exercise enqueueSpamSample's full body from communityWatchRemoveComment.test
(common/utils, which IS run): set the queue URL + hash salt, stub
aws.sqsSendMessage, and assert a de-identified sample (hashed ids) is enqueued
on removal.

spamSample.ts was at 76.9% (lines 66, 84-85 uncovered). Add two removal cases:
aws throws -> removal still succeeds (covers the swallow/catch); removed comment
has blank content -> sample skipped (covers the blank-text guard). Brings the
file to ~full coverage so codecov/project no longer dips.
Total repo coverage fluctuates run-to-run (sharded integration suites) and
codecov compares against the nearest ancestor with a coverage upload (develop
merge commits publish none), so PRs show spurious project drops even when their
own diff is 100% covered (e.g. #4846 at -0.46%). Add a 1% project threshold to
absorb that noise; patch stays strict so new code must still be tested.
