  - Basic compilation successful ✅

## Tool Signature

**Input Parameters:**
- `folder_path` (required): Absolute path to folder containing WAV files
- `dataset_id` (required): Dataset ID (12 characters)
- `location_id` (required): Location ID (12 characters)
- `cluster_id` (required): Cluster ID (12 characters)
- `recursive` (optional): Scan subfolders recursively (default: true)

**Output:**
- `summary`: Import statistics (total, imported, skipped, failed, audiomoth count, duration, time)
- `file_ids`: List of successfully imported file IDs
- `errors`: Per-file errors with stage information

## Key Features

### 1. Intelligent Timestamp Detection
- **AudioMoth Priority**: Checks WAV comment field first
- **Filename Fallback**: Parses filename if not AudioMoth
- **Batch Processing**: Analyzes all filenames together for format detection
- **Timezone Handling**: Applies fixed offset from location's timezone_id

### 2. Efficient File Processing
- **Header-Only WAV Reading**: Reads first 200KB for metadata (not full file)
- **Duplicate Detection**: Checks XXH64 hash before insert
- **Folder Exclusion**: Automatically skips Clips_* subfolders
- **Zero-Byte Filtering**: Ignores empty files

### 3. Astronomical Calculations
- **Midpoint-Based**: Uses recording midpoint (not start time)
- **Solar Night**: Between sunset and sunrise
- **Civil Night**: Between dusk and dawn (6° below horizon)
- **Moon Phase**: 0.00-1.00 scale (0=New, 0.5=Full)

### 4. Single Transaction Import
- **All-or-Nothing**: Entire batch succeeds or rolls back
- **Three Table Insert**: file, file_dataset, moth_metadata
- **Prepared Statements**: Reused for performance
- **Skip Duplicates**: Continues processing if hash exists

### 5. Comprehensive Error Tracking
- **Per-File Errors**: Records errors for each file
- **Stage Information**: Identifies where failure occurred (scan/hash/parse/validate/insert)
- **Continues Processing**: Doesn't stop on individual file errors
- **Summary Statistics**: Reports success/skip/fail counts

## Testing Status

### ✅ Completed Tests
1. **Code Compilation**: Builds successfully without errors
2. **Tool Registration**: Shows in MCP tools/list
3. **Schema Validation**: Input/output schemas correct
4. **Static Analysis**: No linting errors

### 🔄 Ready for Integration Testing

The tool is ready for testing with actual WAV files. To perform integration testing:

#### Prerequisites
1. **Test Database**: Use `db/test.duckdb` (NOT production!)
2. **Test Data**: Need dataset, location, cluster records
3. **Test Files**: Small batch of WAV files (AudioMoth and non-AudioMoth)

#### Test Scenarios
1. **AudioMoth Files**: Import folder with AudioMoth recordings
2. **Filename-Based Files**: Import non-AudioMoth WAV files with timestamp filenames
3. **Mixed Batch**: Import folder with both types
4. **Duplicate Detection**: Import same files twice (should skip)
5. **Invalid Folder**: Test error handling for missing folder
6. **Invalid IDs**: Test validation for non-existent dataset/location/cluster
7. **Large Batch**: Test performance with 1000+ files

#### Example Test Call
```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "import_audio_files",
    "arguments": {
      "folder_path": "/path/to/test/wavs",
      "dataset_id": "<test-dataset-id>",
      "location_id": "<test-location-id>",
      "cluster_id": "<test-cluster-id>",
      "recursive": true
    }
  },
  "id": 1
}
```

## Performance Characteristics

### Expected Performance
- **Small Batch (10-100 files)**: < 10 seconds
- **Medium Batch (100-1000 files)**: 10-60 seconds
- **Large Batch (1000-10000 files)**: 1-10 minutes
- **Very Large Batch (10000+ files)**: 10+ minutes

### Performance Factors
- **Hash Calculation**: Must read entire file for XXH64
- **WAV Parsing**: Header-only (fast)
- **Timestamp Parsing**: Batch processing (efficient)
- **Database Insert**: Single transaction with prepared statements

### Optimization Opportunities (Future)
- Parallel hash calculation with goroutines
- DuckDB appender interface for bulk inserts
- Progress streaming for long operations
- Resume capability for interrupted imports

## Known Limitations

1. **Timezone Assumption**: Uses fixed offset (no DST changes during recording period)
2. **Memory Usage**: Large batches load all file data into memory before insert
3. **No Progress Updates**: Silent during processing (could add streaming)
4. **File ID Tracking**: File IDs generated during insert but not returned in result
5. **Filename Format**: Limited to 3 supported formats (extensible if needed)

## Dependencies

**Already Present:**
- `github.com/cespare/xxhash/v2` - XXH64 hashing
- `github.com/matoous/go-nanoid/v2` - ID generation
- `github.com/sixdouglas/suncalc` - Astronomical calculations
- `github.com/duckdb/duckdb-go/v2` - Database driver
- `github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk` - MCP framework

**No New Dependencies Required** - All libraries already in go.mod

## Next Steps

### For Developer (Integration Testing)
1. Create test dataset/location/cluster in test.duckdb
2. Prepare small test WAV folder (~10 files)
3. Run import via MCP tool call
4. Query database to verify inserts
5. Test edge cases (duplicates, errors, etc.)

### For Future Enhancement (Optional)
1. Add progress streaming mechanism
2. Implement parallel file processing
3. Add dry-run mode (validate without inserting)
4. Support custom file patterns (glob filtering)
5. Add resume capability for interrupted imports
6. Optimize with DuckDB appender interface
