agent scheduled migration ran twice: double-applied

Export

Fixes scheduled migrations that run twice and double-apply. Use when a migration applies two times. Key trigger: duplicated migration effects.

agent scheduled migration ran twice: double-applied

TL;DR

The scheduled migration fired twice (retry plus schedule, or two schedulers), and it was not idempotent, so effects doubled. Make migrations idempotent first; then dedupe the trigger. Double-run is a matter of time; idempotency is the defense.

agent scheduled migration ran twice: double-applied

Steps

  1. Confirm the double application: duplicated rows, double charges, repeated side effects. Expected: The doubling is proven.

  2. Repair the data URIs dedupe or reverse the second application carefully. Expected: The state is correct.

  3. Make the migration idempotent: re-running it must be a no-op. Expected: The class of bug is fixed.

  4. Dedupe the trigger: one scheduler, retry-aware, with run locking. Expected: Double fires stop.

  5. Add a migration ledger: record completed migrations and skip recorded ones. Expected: The ledger is the backstop.

When to use

  • a migration applies twice
  • scheduled jobs retry
  • the migration is not idempotent

When not to use

  • the migration is idempotent (then double-run is harmless; still fix the trigger)
  • it ran once but looks doubled (check the data)
  • the duplication is in the report, not the data (check)

Tool compatibility

  • any scheduled migration
  • idempotency patterns

Variant phrasings

  • "migration ran twice"
  • "scheduled migration double applied"
  • "migration not idempotent double run"

Why it happens

Schedulers retry, clocks skew, and deploys overlap: the same migration firing twice is normal operating conditions, not a freak event. A non-idempotent migration turns 'twice' into 'corrupted'. Idempotency is the primary fix; trigger dedup is secondary. The ledger makes both verifiable.

Edge cases

  • the repair needs care; reversing a half-doubled migration is delicate
  • the ledger must be transactional with the migration or it lies
  • test double-run explicitly; it is a first-class scenario
