agent deployed the app before the migration job finished - the new code queried a column that didnt exist yet

Recovery when an agent deployed the app before the migration job finished and new code queries a column that does not exist yet: stabilizing the deploy, finishing the migration, and wiring the ordering so it cannot recur. Use when deploy and migration raced. Not for code bugs unrelated to schema timing.

agent assumed DDL was transactional but mysql commits implicitly - the half-applied migration cant be rolled back

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.

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…
