Fixes the Help center migration problem where Migrated articles have no revision history on new platform by applying the specific fix in the steps, proving it on one article, collection or query first, then confirming readers see the correction. Use when this exact symptom blocks readers or agents in the help center. …
Fixes this failure: rebuild the staged-versus-installed state from the hosts themselves: run a fresh detection and package-state query per host and treat the orchestrator database as a. Use when the exact error or symptom in the title appears. Not for a different error, tool, or a manual process with no such failure.
Fixes the situation where an agent applied a ref fix to the wrong schema.yml file in a project with several schema files. Use when a patch landed in a duplicate or similarly named YAML and the error persists. Not for fixes applied to the wrong model SQL.
Recovery and prevention for running alembic with the dev alembic.ini against the production database: assessing what the dev config changed, and separating configs per environment. Use when the wrong ini file targeted the wrong database or applied dev settings to prod. Not for correct-config migrations that failed.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent ran the migration against production because DATABASE_URL pointed at prod in its shell - how to guard against... - [agent squashed migrations locally but production still runs the old files - h…

Public search query: agent's migration config pointed at sqlite while production runs postgres

Recovery when an agent deleted old migration files thinking they were stale, so new environments cannot bootstrap: restoring the files and setting the rule that applied files are never deleted. Use when fresh databases fail to migrate from zero. Not for files that were never applied anywhere.
Recovery when an agent's idempotency check read the wrong state table (flyway_schema_history instead of alembic_version): reconciling the real state and fixing the agent's procedure to check the tool the app actually uses. Use when a migration was skipped or double-applied because the agent consulted the wrong history…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent updated the wrong snapshot file in a monorepo: how to scope - docs agent failed: committed generated docs to the wrong directory

Public search query: agent committed the migration file with a wrong timestamp prefix so it s
Problem outcome: unknown
How to fix a migration preview that lied because the dry run used a different postgres search_path than the real migration: aligning the two and making previews trustworthy. Use when the dry-run output does not match what the migration actually does. Not for previews that are wrong for other reasons.
Recovery and prevention after an agent ran prisma migrate dev against a shared staging database and wiped data URIs restoring from backup, and the guardrails that keep migrate dev off shared databases. Use when migrate dev reset a database it should never have touched. Not for migrate deploy issues.
How to fix a deploy marked failed because the health check queried a table the migration had locked: making health checks lock-aware and migration-safe. Use when health checks fail spuriously during migrations. Not for health checks failing because the app is genuinely broken.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent d1 migration locked the table during peak traffic - agent's suggested index fixed the SELECT but the migration locked the table for 40 minutes during the ALTER

Problem outcome: unknown
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 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…
How to detect and merge branching alembic heads created when an agent merged two branches without noticing: finding the fork, merging it, and adding a CI gate so the next collision fails fast. Use when a branch merge silently forked the revision graph. Not for missing-revision errors.
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…

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 "airflow db migrate failed with alembic revision conflict": aligning the airflow version with the database's migration state and re-running the managed migration. Use when airflow's own metadata-database migration fails on revision conflicts, usually after an upgrade skipped versions. Not for DAG or task er…
