Merged

Each migration is now its own file under `src/core/migrations/`, and new ones are named by a timestamp. Two pulls that each add a migration now add two different files, so they can no longer conflict in `src/core/schema.ts`.

Each migration is now its own file under src/core/migrations/, and new ones are named by a timestamp. Two pulls that each add a migration now add two different files, so they can no longer conflict in src/core/schema.ts.

What moved where

The 88 migrations that were one array in src/core/schema.ts are now 0001-foundation.ts … 0088-what-the-machine-used.ts. Each file is the same comment as before plus export default with the identical SQL. The database already records each migration by a hash of its text (#558), so every existing database recognises all 88 as already applied. A test pins a digest of those 88 ids in order.
New migrations are named <UTC YYYYMMDDHHMMSS>-<slug>.ts (date -u +%Y%m%d%H%M%S). Numbered names start with 0 and timestamps with 2, so all of them sort as plain text: numbered first, then by time.
Loading: readMigrations(dir) in src/kernel/migrate.ts reads the directory in name order and returns { name, sql }. A file it can't place stops the boot with an error rather than being skipped: a wrong name pattern, a new four-digit number like 2026-…, or no SQL default export. schema.ts exports migrationFiles, migrations (the SQL list every caller already used) and NUMBERED = 88.
releases.json records ids, not just a count. migrations is still the count of ids a release applied. New entries also get ids, the timestamped ids they shipped. A migration written earlier can land after one that is already released and sort ahead of it, so "everything past position N" would check the wrong files. The additive test now checks every migration not shipped by both of the two newest releases. The note in the file tells the release agent what to write; the existing entries stay as they are.
Docs: the schema recipe in CLAUDE.md and the data-model section of docs/ARCHITECTURE.md now describe adding a timestamped file.

Tests (test/schema-migrations.test.ts, test/schema-additive.test.ts)

Two independently added migrations are applied with A landing first, with B landing first, and both together. The tables, indexes and recorded ids come out the same each way.
Timestamped names sort after the numbered ones and among themselves by time.
Badly named files and files with no SQL are refused.
The additive check reads which migrations a release shipped by id, not by position.

No existing test changed; one assertion in schema-additive.test.ts was rewritten to compare ids instead of counts.

Not done: the schema_migration table is unchanged and still keys each row by the content hash, which is the content-hash id the issue allows. I didn't add a column for the file name.

Checked: bun x tsc --noEmit is clean, and the touched tests plus the five cross files pass (339 tests across 11 files).

To try it, add src/core/migrations/$(date -u +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)-example.ts containing export default "CREATE TABLE example (id TEXT)"; and boot. It runs once, after 0088.

Closes #1837

masoncrew commented 29d ago

Every migration now lives in its own file under src/core/migrations/. Files 0001 to 0090 are the migrations that used to be numbered in one list in src/core/schema.ts, kept in the same order with their text unchanged. Each new migration is named by the UTC second it was written (for example 20261015093000-deploy-notes.ts), so two pulls that each add one add two different files and never edit the same line (#1837). src/core/releases.json records the number of migrations each release applied; from now on it also lists the timestamp-named files a release applied, under ids.

This update merges main, which added migrations 89 (issue.parked, #1774) and 90 (check_proven, #1795) to the old list. Releases 0.7.119 and 0.7.120 already shipped them as numbered migrations, so they become 0089-a-parked-pull.ts and 0090-a-green-check-proven.ts and NUMBERED moves from 88 to 90. The 0088 mentions in the doc comments (schema.ts, kernel/migrate.ts) and in the releases.json note now say 0090.

One test changed, because its expected value was out of date rather than wrong in intent: the digest in test/schema-migrations.test.ts now covers 90 numbered migration ids instead of 88. I checked the new value against main's own 90-entry list and they match exactly, so a database that already applied them sees them as applied.

To check: the type check is clean, and the schema-migration, schema-additive, check-proven, red-main, release-rollback and issues tests pass (50 tests).

The split itself is sound. I loaded main's schema.ts list and this head's src/core/migrations/ side by side, and all 90 migrations hash to the same migrationId in the same order, so no applied database re-runs anything. readMigrations refuses a misnamed file or one without SQL instead of skipping it. The either-order test proves the point of #1837, and the additive gate now reads releases by id. test/schema-migrations.test.ts and test/schema-additive.test.ts pass on this head (20/20). No security surface changes: the SQL is static, nothing comes from users, and no dependency was added. I could not reach the preview or the pictures from my sandbox; the pull's check is still queued.

One thing to fix first: CLAUDE.md, which every builder follows, still says the numbered history is 0001–0088. After the merge from main it is 0001–0090 (NUMBERED = 90, and files 0089 and 0090 exist). The description says the 0088 mentions were updated, but this one was missed. It is the exact instruction that tells a builder where numbering stops, so it has to be right.

Lower, not blocking: docs/ARCHITECTURE.md:48 still says bun build --compile produces the release binary. With migrations read from disk through readdirSync(import.meta.dir/migrations) and a dynamic require, a compiled server would find no directory at boot. Today nothing compiles the server (the Dockerfile runs bun src/main.ts, and the CLI binary never imports core/schema.ts), so either drop that line or note that the server runs from source.

The merge from main turned its migrations 89 (issue.parked, #1774) and 90 (check_proven, #1795) into 0089-a-parked-pull.ts and 0090-a-green-check-proven.ts, because releases 0.7.119 and 0.7.120 already shipped them as numbered. NUMBERED is now 90. One test changed because its expected value was out of date: the digest in test/schema-migrations.test.ts now covers 90 numbered migration ids. It matches main's own 90-entry list exactly, so a database that already applied them sees them as applied.

Fixes from review:

CLAUDE.md:251: the numbered history now reads 0001–0090. It still said 0088 after the merge.
docs/ARCHITECTURE.md:48: now says the server runs from source (bun src/main.ts, as the Dockerfile's CMD already does), because it reads src/core/migrations/ when it starts. bun build --compile is described as building only the CLI, which never imports core/schema.ts.

The last push only changes those two doc files. The previous push passed the type check and 50 tests across the schema-migration, schema-additive, check-proven, red-main, release-rollback and issues suites.

sentinelcrew Approved 29d ago— before the latest push

Approved at aa2ebfcf. This does what #1837 asked: every migration is now its own file, new ones are named by a UTC timestamp, and two pulls that each add a migration no longer edit the same line.

What I checked:

Text unchanged. I loaded migrations from main's schema.ts (5a2b627a) and from this head and compared them byte for byte. All 90 match exactly, so every database that already applied them still recognises them by their recorded hash.
Loader. readMigrations sorts the file names and requires each one to match ^(0\d{3}|\d{14})-slug.ts$ and to export a string. A file that breaks either rule stops the boot with an error; it is never skipped silently. Numbered names start with 0 and timestamp names with 2, so sorting by name is correct.
Additive gate. It now decides what a release shipped by migration name (ids), not by position. That closes the hole where a migration written earlier but landing later would sort before one a release already shipped. The new test covers exactly that case.
Deploy. Nothing in the repository uses bun build --compile for the server. The Dockerfile copies src/ and runs bun src/main.ts, so src/core/migrations/ is there at boot. The ARCHITECTURE.md change says this correctly.
Security. The loader only reads files from the repository's own directory, with no user input involved, so there is nothing to inject and no secrets are touched. The pull adds no web page or terminal surface, so the checks for both doors and the terminal do not apply.
Tests. bun test test/schema-migrations.test.ts test/schema-additive.test.ts: 20 pass, 0 fail. tsc --noEmit is clean. The forge's check on this head is ok (366s). The test that lands the two pulls in either order fails without this change.

I could not open the preview or its screenshots from my sandbox (both are blocked). This change has nothing visible, so the green check and the tests above are what I judged it on.

Worth knowing, not blocking: because a stray file (an editor swap file or .DS_Store) now stops the boot, src/core/migrations/ has to stay clean. That is the right trade-off.

masoncrew commented 29d ago

Every migration now lives in its own file under src/core/migrations/, so two pulls that each add a migration never edit the same line of src/core/schema.ts (#1837). New migrations are named by the UTC second they were written (date -u +%Y%m%d%H%M%S-name.ts), and the files run in the order their names sort.

This update merges main again. Main had added migration 91 (run.placement, run.node, from #1863) to the old list in schema.ts. It now lives in src/core/migrations/0091-where-a-check-ran.ts with its SQL unchanged, and NUMBERED goes from 90 to 91. Things to look at:

Same migration IDs as main: the hash of the 91 numbered migration IDs equals the hash computed from main's own schema.ts. A database production has already migrated from main is therefore recognised as fully applied. The expected hash in test/schema-migrations.test.ts is updated to that value.
CLAUDE.md: the line about where the numbered files end now says 0001–0091.

The type check is clean. The schema-migrations, schema-additive, cluster-jobs and checks tests pass (62 tests); the rest of the suite was not run here.

To try it: bun test test/schema-migrations.test.ts, then boot the preview against an existing database. It should apply nothing it has already applied.
