Problem/Motivation

Past issues in pagedesigner caused malformed data in elements. These prevent reporting proper status about published sections and can be spread by copying malformed elements. This issue should provide reliable and predictable cleanup using the debugger sub module which can be run using drush or as a service. Some cleanup may be run directly in update_hooks of pagedesigner or a sub module.

Proposed resolution

Provide and optimize a debugger routine to be run on any installation with the goal to rectify any malformed data in the elements. The approach taken will be conservative. This means, data is rather preserved than deleted if the state is not clearly determined (e.g. if an element is attached to a pagedesignertree but marked as deleted, it will be restored).

The routine might also make non-essential changes to simplify the data model, e.g. removing orphaned elements or reduce the number of container elements per node and field to one on multilingual pages. This will standardize the data and enable further enhancements.

There are possible states that might need human intervention, e.g. if the same element is in multiple trees and a predictable action can not be taken. The routine will report those cases.
