fix: use table recreation for sub_agent_skills UNIQUE constraint migration

[nick-inkeep]

Summary

• Replaces the broken DROP CONSTRAINT + ADD CONSTRAINT migration with a backup→drop→recreate→restore approach that works on both Doltgres and PostgreSQL/PGlite
• Widens the sub_agent_skills UNIQUE constraint from (sub_agent_id, skill_id) to (tenant_id, project_id, agent_id, sub_agent_id, skill_id) — scoping it per-agent
• Zero data loss for existing customers (brownfield tested on both engines)

Problem

Migration 0010_oval_angel.sql used standard PostgreSQL ALTER TABLE DROP CONSTRAINT which fails on Doltgres because it can't find UNIQUE constraints (they're stored as indexes, not in the constraint store). PR #2208 attempted a table recreation fix but created index name collisions on PGlite because it used the same constraint names on the _new table while the original still existed.

Approach

1. Create sub_agent_skills_backup (no constraints) → copy all data
2. Drop original sub_agent_skills (frees all constraint/index names)
3. Recreate sub_agent_skills with correct wider UNIQUE + PK inline
4. Restore data from backup → drop backup
5. Re-add FK constraints and index

This avoids both the Doltgres DROP CONSTRAINT bug and the PGlite per-schema index name collision.

Test plan

Validated on 2026-02-20 across both database engines:

PGlite (CI/test engine)

• All 97 test files pass (1525 tests, 0 failures)
• subAgentSkills.cross-tenant.test.ts — cross-tenant isolation works
• client.test.ts — fresh database with all migrations applied (greenfield)

Doltgres Docker v0.55.3 (production engine)

• Greenfield: All 11 migrations (0000-0010) apply cleanly — 128 statements, 0 errors
• Brownfield: 3 existing rows preserved with exact values after migration (zero data loss)
• PK, UNIQUE, FK, and index all correct post-migration
• Duplicate within same agent correctly rejected
• Same sub_agent+skill across different agents correctly allowed
• No backup table left behind

Alternatives evaluated and rejected

Approach	Why rejected
DROP CONSTRAINT + ADD CONSTRAINT	Doltgres bug — can't DROP UNIQUE constraints
PR #2208: CREATE TABLE _new with same names	PGlite per-schema index name collision
DROP INDEX on backing index	Doltgres: "table not found"
ALTER TABLE RENAME CONSTRAINT	Doltgres: "unsupported command type"

Inline Comments:

• 🟠 Major: 0010_oval_angel.sql:1 Deployment strategy for environments where original migration succeeded

🟡 Minor (1) 🟡

🟡 1) 0010_oval_angel.sql Consider explicit transaction wrapping for atomicity

Issue: The migration uses 8 separate SQL statements with --> statement-breakpoint delimiters, meaning each executes independently without transaction wrapping.

Why: If any statement fails after Step 3 (DROP TABLE), the database is left without a sub_agent_skills table until manual intervention. The backup data would exist but the original table would be gone.

Fix: Given the PR description indicates thorough testing on both Doltgres v0.55.3 and PGlite (97 test files, 1525 tests), this is a lower-risk concern. PostgreSQL supports DDL in transactions, but Doltgres may have limitations. If both engines support transactional DDL, consider wrapping Steps 1-8 in BEGIN; / COMMIT;. Otherwise, the documented testing provides confidence in the current approach.

💭 Consider (1) 💭

💭 1) 0010_oval_angel.sql Document deployment expectations

Issue: The PR description thoroughly covers the technical approach and test results, but could benefit from explicit deployment guidance.

Why: Operators deploying this need to understand which environments are affected and what to expect.

Fix: Consider adding a brief note in the PR description about:

• Doltgres environments: This migration fixes a previously failing migration
• PostgreSQL/PGlite environments: If the original migration succeeded, this new version will be skipped (same end-state achieved)

---

✅ What's Done Well

• Excellent documentation: Step-by-step comments in the migration clearly explain each phase of the backup→drop→recreate→restore approach
• Schema consistency verified: The migration SQL matches the Drizzle schema definition in manage-schema.ts (lines 271-302)
• Thorough testing documented: Both greenfield and brownfield testing on Doltgres v0.55.3 and PGlite with all 1525 tests passing
• Cross-tenant isolation tested: Existing test at subAgentSkills.cross-tenant.test.ts validates the constraint behavior
• No changeset needed: This is an internal infrastructure fix with no customer-facing impact

---

💡 APPROVE WITH SUGGESTIONS

Summary: This is a well-executed fix for a known database compatibility issue between Doltgres and PostgreSQL/PGlite. The backup→drop→recreate→restore approach is sound and avoids both the Doltgres DROP CONSTRAINT limitation and PGlite index name collisions. The one inline comment about deployment strategy is worth addressing to clarify expectations for operators, but the migration itself is technically correct and thoroughly tested.

Discarded (2)

Location	Issue	Reason Discarded
0010_oval_angel.sql:5-16	Nullable backup table columns vs NOT NULL restore	Intentionally lenient - backup captures any data; restore validates against new schema's NOT NULL + DEFAULT constraints. This is correct design.
0010_oval_angel.sql	No automated brownfield migration test	Valid observation but broader infrastructure concern; manual verification documented in PR is appropriate for this one-time fix.

🟠 MAJOR: Deployment strategy for environments where original migration succeeded

Issue: This PR modifies an existing migration file (0010_oval_angel.sql) that exists on main. Per AGENTS.md, existing migration files should not be edited after application. While the original migration fails on Doltgres (which is why this fix is needed), it may have succeeded on PostgreSQL/PGlite environments.

Why: Environments where the original DROP CONSTRAINT + ADD CONSTRAINT migration already ran successfully will:

1. Have the migration marked as applied in __drizzle_migrations
2. Skip this new version entirely on future deployments
3. Be in a correct end-state but with different migration history

This isn't necessarily a problem if the end-state is the same, but it creates a divergence in migration history between environments.

Fix: The current approach appears acceptable given:

• The original migration fails on Doltgres (the production engine per PR description)
• Environments where it succeeded have the correct constraint already
• The backup-restore approach is idempotent in intent (achieving same end-state)

However, consider documenting:

1. Deployment expectations in the PR description (which environment types this fixes vs. which already work)
2. Whether any manual verification is needed for environments that ran the original migration

🔴❗ Critical (1) ❗🔴

Inline Comments:

• 🔴 Critical: 0010_oval_angel.sql:34 Schema/migration constraint mismatch — Drizzle schema has 2-column UNIQUE but migration has 5-column

🟠⚠️ Major (1) 🟠⚠️

🟠 1) meta/_journal.json + 0010_snapshot.json Migration not tracked in Drizzle meta directory

Issue: The migration file 0010_oval_angel.sql was manually created but the Drizzle meta files are not updated:

• meta/_journal.json only goes up to idx 9 (0009_chilly_old_lace) — missing entry for 0010_oval_angel
• No 0010_snapshot.json file exists to record the post-migration schema state

Why: Without proper Drizzle tracking:

1. pnpm db:check may report schema drift
2. pnpm db:generate will not recognize this migration as the current state
3. Migration state tracking between environments will be inconsistent
4. Future migrations may have incorrect numbering or conflicting changes

Fix: After updating the Drizzle schema (see Critical issue above), either:

• Run pnpm db:generate to create properly tracked migration files (may need to manually adjust the generated SQL to use the backup→restore pattern)
• Or manually add to _journal.json:

{
  "idx": 10,
  "version": "7",
  "when": 1771574400000,
  "tag": "0010_oval_angel",
  "breakpoints": true
}

And create 0010_snapshot.json reflecting the post-migration schema state (copy from 0009_snapshot.json and update the sub_agent_skills unique constraint columns).

🟡 Minor (1) 🟡

🟡 1) ci.yml, cypress.yml Doltgres version inconsistency across environments

Issue: CI workflows pin Doltgres to 0.55.2, but other environments use different versions:

• docker-compose.dbs.yml: latest
• docker-compose.yml: 0.54.10
• create-agents-template: latest

Why: This creates potential environment-specific issues that may not surface until production.

Fix: The commit message explains this pin is for investigating a performance regression — this is acceptable for debugging. Once investigation concludes, consider aligning versions or documenting the rationale in comments.

💭 1) ci.yml:254-259, cypress.yml:104-109 SpiceDB image not pinned in CI

Issue: While Doltgres is pinned, SpiceDB runs via docker run authzed/spicedb serve without a version tag, defaulting to latest.

Why: Creates supply chain risk and non-deterministic builds.

Fix: Consider pinning to a specific version (e.g., authzed/spicedb:v1.49.1 to match docker-compose.yml).

🚫 REQUEST CHANGES

Summary: The backup→drop→recreate→restore migration approach is technically sound for working around Doltgres/PGlite compatibility issues. However, the Drizzle schema and migration are out of sync — the schema still defines a 2-column UNIQUE constraint while the migration creates a 5-column constraint. This will cause test/production divergence (PGlite tests use schema, Doltgres uses migrations) and future migration drift. Additionally, the Drizzle meta files (_journal.json, snapshot) are not updated, breaking Drizzle's migration tracking. Please update the schema to match the migration and ensure proper Drizzle tracking before merging.

🔴 CRITICAL: Schema/migration constraint mismatch

Issue: This migration creates a 5-column UNIQUE constraint, but the Drizzle schema definition at manage-schema.ts:293 still defines a 2-column constraint:

// Current schema (line 293):
unique('sub_agent_skills_sub_agent_skill_unique').on(table.subAgentId, table.skillId)

// Migration creates (line 34):
UNIQUE("tenant_id","project_id","agent_id","sub_agent_id","skill_id")

Why: This mismatch causes critical issues:

1. Test/Production divergence: PGlite tests apply the Drizzle schema directly (2-column constraint), while Doltgres production uses migrations (5-column constraint)
2. Future migration drift: Running pnpm db:generate will detect a discrepancy and generate a migration to revert back to 2 columns
3. Missing Drizzle tracking: The journal (meta/_journal.json) is missing the 0010 entry, and no 0010_snapshot.json exists

Fix: Update the Drizzle schema to match the migration:

// manage-schema.ts line 293 should be:
unique('sub_agent_skills_sub_agent_skill_unique').on(
  table.tenantId, 
  table.projectId, 
  table.agentId, 
  table.subAgentId, 
  table.skillId
)

Then either:

• Option A: Run pnpm db:generate to regenerate the migration with proper meta files (preferred if Drizzle can generate the backup→restore pattern, which it likely cannot)
• Option B: Manually add the journal entry and create 0010_snapshot.json to match the post-migration state

Refs:

• manage-schema.ts:293 — current 2-column constraint
• meta/_journal.json — missing 0010 entry
