+ * Make `orchestrator_priority` nullable on the orders table.
+ *
+ * The original migration (2026_04_08_000003) added this column as NOT NULL
+ * with a database-level default of 50.  When Eloquent explicitly passes NULL
+ * for the column (e.g. when a user submits the order form without filling in
+ * orchestrator constraints), the DB default is bypassed and MySQL raises:
+ *
+ *   SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1048
+ *   Column 'orchestrator_priority' cannot be null
+ *
+ * This migration makes the column nullable so that existing installations
+ * that have already run the original migration are also protected.  The
+ * application layer (Order model + controllers) already coerces null to 50,
+ * so NULL values will not appear in practice; the nullable flag is a
+ * belt-and-suspenders safety net for any code path that may have been missed.
