Migration Rollback Safety

Referenced by the Rollback Procedure during incidents. Check this before running migrate:rollback.

Migration Safe to rollback? Notes
2026_04_07_174344_create_additional_community_development_program_pivots ✅ Yes Drops two pivot tables
2026_04_02_184012_preset_dimissible_announcement ✅ Yes Removes updatedAt and isDismissible from settings JSON
2026_03_30_200030_create_community_development_program_pivot ⚠️ Caution Reverses community_id to non-nullable — will fail if any rows have a null value
2026_03_30_190143_add_community_contact_email ✅ Yes Drops column
2026_03_30_183810_add_community_information_url ✅ Yes Drops column
2026_03_24_133218_drop_legacy_candidate_status_columns ❌ Do not rollback down() repopulates from lossy mapping — use database restore instead
2026_03_01_024542_add_referral_pause_columns_to_pool_candidates ✅ Yes Drops three columns

🚚 Deployment Steps

Deployment order

1. Set OAUTH_POST_LOGIN_REGISTRATION_REDIRECT in IAC  ← before deploy
2. Take a full database backup                        ← before migrate
3. Deploy artifact
4. php artisan migrate
5. php artisan db:seed --class=RolesAndPermissionsSeeder

Pre-flight check — backup required

drop_legacy_candidate_status_columns drops 4 columns from pool_candidates and cannot be safely rolled back — down() uses a lossy data mapping. A full database backup must be taken before running migrations on each environment.
