Flipt export fails on variant flag with no rules wrong format for rule segments
Complete solution
How to fix: Flipt export fails on variant flag with no rules wrong format for rule segments. The verified fix from the maintainer thread, distilled into reusable steps.
What happened
Exporting Flipt state fails with "wrong format for rule segments" when a variant flag has no rules attached yet. Steps: create a variant flag, do not add rules, run export. The export should succeed even for rule-less flags, since that is a normal intermediate state.
The fix that worked
Fixed via PR #3552, which addressed the root cause of the export failure for rule-less variant flags and also improved the export error message and UI so the problem is easier to identify. Upgrade past the release containing #3552. Note the fix cannot repair database rows that are already in the inconsistent state, those need to be re-exported or recreated.
