Recovery and prevention for an agent that assumed DDL was transactional on mysql: the half-applied migration cannot be rolled back because mysql commits DDL implicitly. Use when a mysql migration failed midway and left a partial schema. Not for postgres, where transactional DDL usually allows rollback.
Response playbook for an agent running a destructive migration during business hours against the runbook: immediate assessment, completing or rolling back safely, and adding a time-window guard to the agent's procedure. Use when a risky migration ran at the wrong time. Not for destructive migrations that were schedule…
How to reconcile when an agent squashed migrations locally but production still runs the old files: why squashing applied history breaks, and the safe paths (keep old files, or stamp after proving schema equivalence). Use when a squash rewrote history that production already recorded. Not for squashes of never-applied…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent profiled on a 16-core VM but production runs on 2-core containers -- the GIL contention never shows up in the test - [the agent's patch validation only re-ran the scanner on the lockfile - the …

How to recover when an agent applied migrations out of order, skipping a revision: comparing the state table against the file chain, applying the skipped revision safely, and reconciling when its work is already partially done. Use when the schema is inconsistent because a revision was skipped. Not for branching heads…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - django migrate timed out on a big AddField in production and now the agent cant tell which migrations actually applied - [agent loop detected: re-running already-applied D1 migrations, deploy blocked…

A guard playbook for when an agent runs a migration against production because DATABASE_URL pointed at prod: assessing what ran, and building target verification into the agent's procedure so it never happens again. Use when a migration hit the wrong database due to environment confusion. Not for migrations that faile…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent ran the migration against staging and it passed, then the same file failed on prod - production data broke an... - [agent's D1 migration ran against local instead of remote: the --remote flag w…

How to fix knex's "migration file not found for the latest batch": reconciling the knex_migrations table with the files on disk by restoring the deleted file or removing the orphaned row. Use when migrate commands fail because the latest batch references a file that no longer exists. Not for migrations that fail while…
How to write a reversible down migration in rails when ActiveRecord raises IrreversibleMigration: replacing change with explicit up and down methods, or wrapping the tricky part in a reversible block. Use when db:migrate:redo or db:rollback fails because change cannot be inverted. Not for migrations that fail on the w…
How to fix prisma Error P3015 "Could not find the migration file for a recorded migration": restoring the missing migration folder from version control, or marking the phantom migration rolled back when it never actually applied. Use when the _prisma_migrations table references a migration directory that does not exis…
How to repair flyway's "Detected applied migration not resolved locally": finding which applied versions have no local file, restoring them from version control, or cleaning the history when the deletion was deliberate. Use when the schema history references migrations whose files are missing locally. Not for checksum…

Fixes the agent applying D1 migrations to the local database when it meant remote, because the --remote flag was dropped. Use when local and remote schemas diverge after an agent migration run. Not for migration SQL errors or journal conflicts.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - auth token expired mid-run: agent's deploy retries burned the remaining rate limit, deploy failed - agent retried a failed payment 6 times in 2 minutes: issuer flagged fraud

Fixes the agent reporting a successful deploy after its status polling was rate-limited into seeing stale data. Use when the agent claims success but nothing changed. Not for deploys that genuinely failed or polling that times out.
Fixes agents hanging when wrangler d1 migrations apply stalls on remote after printing 'applying migration'. Use when the migration command hangs indefinitely. Not for migration SQL errors, journal conflicts, or local migration hangs.
Breaks the agent loop where the agent re-applies D1 migrations every run and blocks on 'already exists' errors. Use when migration apply repeats without progress. Not for genuine pending migrations or first-time migration setup.
