+# Global Model Registry - Verification Document
+
+## Issue Fixed
+MasterRecord v0.3.38 eliminates confusing warnings during CLI operations when the same context class is instantiated multiple times.
+
+## The Problem (v0.3.36/v0.3.37)
+When users ran `masterrecord add-migration`, they saw warnings:
+```
+Warning: dbset() called multiple times for table 'User' - updating existing registration
+Warning: dbset() called multiple times for table 'Auth' - updating existing registration
+...
+```
+
+These warnings appeared during **normal operation** because:
+1. The CLI creates 2-3 instances of the context class to inspect schema
+2. Each instance runs the constructor
+3. Each constructor calls `dbset()` for each entity
+4. The duplicate detection (added in v0.3.36) triggered warnings
+
+## The Solution (v0.3.38)
+Added a global model registry that tracks which models have been registered per context class:
+- First instance of a context class: Warns about genuine duplicates in constructor
+- Subsequent instances: Silent (expected CLI behavior)
+
+## Technical Implementation
+
+### 1. Static Global Registry
+```javascript
+// context.js - Line 180
+static _globalModelRegistry = {};
+// Structure: { 'userContext': Set(['User', 'Auth', 'Settings']), 'qaContext': Set([...]) }
+```
+
+### 2. Instance-Level First Instance Flag
+```javascript
+// context.js - Constructor (Line 192)
+const globalRegistry = context._globalModelRegistry[this.__name];
+this.__isFirstInstance = !globalRegistry || globalRegistry.size === 0;
+```
+
+### 3. Conditional Warning in dbset()
+```javascript
+// context.js - dbset() method (Line 1050)
+if (existingIndex !== -1) {
+    // Duplicate detected in THIS instance
+    if (this.__isFirstInstance) {
+        // Only warn on first instance
+        console.warn(`Warning: dbset() called multiple times for table '${tableName}'...`);
+    }
+    // Update registration
+    this.__entities[existingIndex] = validModel;
+} else {
+    // New entity - add to arrays
+    this.__entities.push(validModel);
+}
+
+// Always mark as globally seen
+const globalRegistry = context._globalModelRegistry[this.__name];
+globalRegistry.add(tableName);
+```
+
+## Verification Tests
+
+### Test 1: Multiple Context Instances (CLI Pattern)
+```javascript
+class userContext extends context {
+    constructor() {
+        super();
+        this.dbset(User);
+        this.dbset(Auth);
+        this.dbset(Settings);
+    }
+}
+
+// CLI behavior simulation
+const ctx1 = new userContext();  // First instance
+const ctx2 = new userContext();  // Second instance
+const ctx3 = new userContext();  // Third instance
+
+// RESULT: Zero warnings (all instances work correctly)
+```
+
+### Test 2: Genuine Duplicate in Constructor
+```javascript
+class buggyContext extends context {
+    constructor() {
+        super();
+        this.dbset(User);    // Line 5
+        this.dbset(User);    // Line 6 - DUPLICATE!
+    }
+}
+
+const ctx1 = new buggyContext();  // First instance - WARNS
+const ctx2 = new buggyContext();  // Second instance - Silent
+
+// RESULT:
+// - First instance: Warns about duplicate (helps user fix their code)
+// - Subsequent instances: Silent (user already warned)
+```
+
+### Test 3: Different Context Classes
+```javascript
+class userContext extends context {
+    constructor() {
+        super();
+        this.dbset(User);
+    }
+}
+
+class adminContext extends context {
+    constructor() {
+        super();
+        this.dbset(User);  // Same model, different context
+    }
+}
+
+const userCtx = new userContext();
+const adminCtx = new adminContext();
+
+// RESULT: Zero warnings (different context classes have separate registries)
+```
+
+## Real-World Scenario: User's qaContext
+
+### User's Code Pattern (BEFORE)
+```javascript
+class qaContext extends context {
+    constructor() {
+        super();
+        // Line 58
+        this.dbset(TaxonomyTemplate);
+
+        // ... 150 lines of other code ...
+
+        // Line 207 - Common pattern: seed data
+        this.dbset(TaxonomyTemplate).seed(templates);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### What Happened Before v0.3.38
+```bash
+$ masterrecord add-migration InitialCreate qaContext
+Warning: dbset() called multiple times for table 'TaxonomyTemplate' - updating existing registration
+Warning: dbset() called multiple times for table 'TaxonomyTemplate' - updating existing registration
+Warning: dbset() called multiple times for table 'TaxonomyTemplate' - updating existing registration
+✓ Migration 'InitialCreate' created successfully
+```
+- User confused: "Did I do something wrong?"
+- In reality: CLI just instantiated context 3 times (normal behavior)
+
+### What Happens With v0.3.38
+```bash
+$ masterrecord add-migration InitialCreate qaContext
+Warning: dbset() called multiple times for table 'TaxonomyTemplate' in constructor - updating existing registration
+✓ Migration 'InitialCreate' created successfully
+```
+- **One warning** (first instance) - Alerts user to duplicate `dbset()` in their code
+- User can fix: Remove line 58 or line 207 (depends on pattern)
+- After fix: Zero warnings on all future CLI operations
+
+### User's Fixed Code
+```javascript
+class qaContext extends context {
+    constructor() {
+        super();
+        // Only call dbset() once, with seed data attached
+        this.dbset(TaxonomyTemplate).seed(templates);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+```bash
+$ masterrecord add-migration InitialCreate qaContext
+✓ Migration 'InitialCreate' created successfully
+```
+✅ Clean output, no warnings!
+
+## Test Results Summary
+
+### Global Model Registry Tests (test/global-model-registry-test.js)
+- **15 tests** - All passing ✅
+  1. Multiple instances should not warn (CLI pattern)
+  2. Models should be added to global registry on first instance
+  3. Global registry should not have duplicates after multiple instances
+  4. Genuine duplicate in constructor should warn
+  5. Duplicate should warn only on first instance
+  6. Entity should be registered once despite duplicate in constructor
+  7. Same model in different context classes should not warn
+  8. Different context classes should have separate registries
+  9. Multiple instances of different contexts should not warn
+  10. qaContext pattern (dbset then dbset.seed) should warn about duplicate
+  11. Mixed registration should warn only about duplicates
+  12. Empty context should not warn
+  13. Large context with 50 models should not warn on multiple instances
+  14. Registry should not pollute other context classes
+  15. Many context classes should work independently
+
+### Integration with Existing Tests
+- **Entity Deduplication Tests** (test/entity-deduplication-test.js): 5/5 passing ✅
+- **Seed Deduplication Tests** (test/seed-deduplication-test.js): 8/8 passing ✅
+- **qaContext Pattern Tests** (test/qa-context-pattern-test.js): 7/7 passing ✅
+
+## Edge Cases Handled
+
+### 1. Empty Context
+```javascript
+class emptyContext extends context {
+    constructor() {
+        super();
+        // No entities
+    }
+}
+
+const ctx1 = new emptyContext();
+const ctx2 = new emptyContext();
+// RESULT: Zero warnings, registry exists but empty
+```
+
+### 2. Large Context (50+ Models)
+```javascript
+class largeContext extends context {
+    constructor() {
+        super();
+        for (let i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
+            this.dbset(models[i]);
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+const ctx1 = new largeContext();
+const ctx2 = new largeContext();
+// RESULT: Zero warnings, all 50 models registered correctly
+```
+
+### 3. Mixed Registration
+```javascript
+class mixedContext extends context {
+    constructor() {
+        super();
+        this.dbset(User);      // New
+        this.dbset(Auth);      // New
+        this.dbset(User);      // Duplicate
+        this.dbset(Settings);  // New
+        this.dbset(Auth);      // Duplicate
+    }
+}
+
+const ctx = new mixedContext();
+// RESULT: 2 warnings (User and Auth duplicates)
+// ctx.__entities.length === 3 (User, Auth, Settings)
+```
+
+## Memory Considerations
+
+### Registry Size
+- **Per context class**: One Set object
+- **Per model**: One string (table name)
+- **Typical application**: 3-10 context classes, 5-20 models each
+- **Memory footprint**: ~1-5 KB total (negligible)
+
+### Lifetime
+- Registry persists for application lifetime (intentional caching)
+- Not a memory leak - limited by number of context classes (fixed at compile time)
+- Cleared only on process restart or explicit call to `context.clearModelRegistry()` (if needed for testing)
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+### Existing Code Works Unchanged
+```javascript
+// v0.3.36 code
+class userContext extends context {
+    constructor() {
+        super();
+        this.dbset(User);
+        this.dbset(Auth);
+    }
+}
+
+// Still works in v0.3.38, no code changes needed
+```
+
+### Warning Messages Still Appear for Genuine Bugs
+```javascript
+// This still warns (on first instance)
+class buggyContext extends context {
+    constructor() {
+        super();
+        this.dbset(User);
+        this.dbset(User);  // Still warns: "Warning: dbset() called multiple times..."
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Industry Standard Comparison
+
+### TypeORM Pattern
+```typescript
+@Entity()
+class User { ... }
+
+// Multiple data sources use same entity definition
+const ds1 = new DataSource({ entities: [User] });
+const ds2 = new DataSource({ entities: [User] });
+// No warnings, no re-registration
+```
+
+### Sequelize Pattern
+```javascript
+const UserModel = (sequelize) => sequelize.define('User', { ... });
+
+const db1 = new Sequelize();
+const User1 = UserModel(db1);
+
+const db2 = new Sequelize();
+const User2 = UserModel(db2);
+// No warnings, each connection gets its own model instance
+```
+
+### Mongoose Pattern
+```javascript
+const User = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
+
+// Subsequent calls return cached model (no warning)
+const User2 = mongoose.model('User');
+```
+
+**MasterRecord v0.3.38 Now Matches This Pattern:**
+- First instance registers models, adds to global registry
+- Subsequent instances expected, no warnings
+- Genuine duplicates within same constructor still warn
+
+## Upgrade Path
+
+### For MasterRecord Users
+
+1. **Update to v0.3.38:**
+   ```bash
+   npm install -g masterrecord@0.3.38
+   ```
+
+2. **No code changes needed** - CLI warnings automatically cleaned up
+
+3. **If you see warnings** (on first instance only):
+   - Check your context constructor for duplicate `dbset()` calls
+   - Common pattern: `dbset(Entity)` + later `dbset(Entity).seed(data)`
+   - Fix: Remove one of the `dbset()` calls
+
+4. **After fixing duplicates:**
+   ```bash
+   masterrecord add-migration YourMigration yourContext
+   ```
+   Should see clean output with zero warnings.
+
+## Success Criteria Checklist
+
+✅ CLI commands produce clean output (no spurious warnings)
+✅ Multiple context instances work without warnings
+✅ Genuine duplicates in constructor still emit warnings (first instance only)
+✅ Different context classes maintain separate registries
+✅ All existing tests still pass (entity deduplication, seed deduplication, etc.)
+✅ 15 new tests pass (global registry functionality)
+✅ Memory usage remains acceptable (<5 KB overhead)
+✅ Backward compatible - existing user code continues to work
+✅ Matches industry-standard ORM patterns (TypeORM, Sequelize, Mongoose)
+
+## Conclusion
+
+MasterRecord v0.3.38 successfully eliminates confusing CLI warnings while preserving the ability to detect genuine bugs in user code. The global model registry provides a clean, intuitive developer experience that matches industry-standard ORM patterns.
+
+**User Impact:**
+- ✅ Clean CLI output during migration generation
+- ✅ Clear guidance when actual bugs exist (warns once on first instance)
+- ✅ No code changes required (automatic improvement)
+- ✅ Better developer experience overall
