### Where the mechanism lives in the contract

Added after the cross-track consistency pass (F21) found that none of the above was reachable from the DAO interface: the policy was specified here and had no method to be implemented against, and no track owned the gap.

`multi-db-strategy.md` §3c now defines, on the composite: **`DeleteExpired(ctx, class, olderThan) (SweepResult, error)`** — one retention class per call, using that class's own clock column, cascading to credentials and writing a `deletion_log` row in the same transaction — and **`DeleteProfile(ctx, id, reason, externalRef)`** for subject requests, on the same code path. `SweepResult` carries rows examined, rows deleted and the age of the oldest surviving row, which is the health check below.

### The health check, which is a requirement rather than a suggestion

A deletion job that stops running produces no error, no alert and no visible symptom. The only evidence is data that should be absent and isn't. So the sweep emits, per class and per run: **rows examined, rows deleted, and the age of the oldest surviving row in that class.**

=== table rows ===
35:| `deletion_log` (the audit trail itself) | `deleted_at` — the entry's own timestamp | **Proposed, pending ruling — see basis** | **unknown — needs a legal ruling, and this cell is the point.** The log exists to evidence that a deletion happened, which is only useful for as long as someone may ask. That period is a legal question about limitation windows and regulator expectations, not an engineering one, and no engineering rationale can substitute for it. Note the trap: the log is PII-free by construction, so it is *not* itself subject to the storage-limitation clock the other rows answer to — which means nothing forces a window on it, and "keep it forever" is the path of least resistance rather than a decision | Hard delete of expired entries | Nothing — no FK, by design | unknown — needs product/legal ruling | **Proposed** |

That was the pass's ruling and it's what LT-20 cites.\n\nOne thing worth knowing so you don't go looking for a DAO mechanism that isn't there: **nothing in the DAO reaches this row.** `DeleteExpired` operates on `RetentionClass` values, and all three are `user_profile` classes. The audit stream expires at your sink, full stop — there is no 05-side sweep to coordinate with, and no metric from `SweepResult` applies to it.\n\nSeparately, and *not* the same object — flagging it because the two are easy to conflate and I conflated them myself in the first draft, which is what the re-run caught. **The `deletion_log` TABLE** (rows in the database, written transactionally by `DeleteExpired`/`DeleteProfile`) is distinct from the **audit-log stream** (entries at your sink). The table is deliberately *not* in the retention table, and I've written the reason in as a named gap rather than leaving it looking like an oversight: it is PII-free by construction so nothing forces a window on it, and `DeleteExpired` has no class that would sweep it — so if a window is ever ruled for the table, implementing it is a **contract change** (a fourth class or a new method), not a config value. Nothing for you there today; I'd just rather you know the two objects are separate before someone asks you to \"apply the audit retention policy\" and means the wrong one.\n\nAlso corrected in the same pass, since it touches the methods your S11-adjacent work reads: the §3c summary in `pii-governance.md` was still describing the pre-review signatures. It now matches the contract — `DeleteExpired(ctx, class, olderThan, maxRows)` batched with `Drained`, and `DeleteProfile(ctx, id, externalRef)` with `reason` asserted by the method rather than passed in.",

=== DeleteExpired( ===
pii-governance.md:76:- **`DeleteExpired(ctx, class, olderThan, maxRows) (SweepResult, error)`** — one retention class per call, using that class's own clock column, cascading to credentials and writing a `deletion_log` row in the same transaction. **Batched: `maxRows` is required (1..10 000) and each batch is its own transaction**, so an interrupted sweep leaves fewer rows deleted rather than a half-written batch. The caller loops until `SweepResult.Drained` is true. It must not be called with a request-scoped context — a sweep cancelled because an inbound request went away is a retention policy silently dependent on request lifetimes.
multi-db-strategy.md:105:    DeleteExpired(ctx context.Context, class RetentionClass, olderThan time.Time, maxRows int) (SweepResult, error)
multi-db-strategy.md:272:**`DeleteExpired(ctx, class, olderThan, maxRows)`** — one class per call, never a mixed-class predicate, because a single predicate spanning two clocks is how the wrong window gets applied to the wrong rows.
backlog.md:127:**Description.** The cross-track consistency pass (F21) found that `pii-governance.md` specified a bulk retention sweep and a subject-deletion request sharing one code path, each writing a `deletion_log` row, and `multi-db-strategy.md` §5 defined the table — but **no method on the interface could reach any of it.** `Profiles().Delete` wrote no log row, and §3 forbids 03 from opening a transaction to combine the two, so a policy this track ruled on could not be implemented against the contract this track wrote, and no track owned the gap. Fixed by adding two composite-level methods in `multi-db-strategy.md` §3c: `DeleteExpired(ctx, class, olderThan) (SweepResult, error)` and `DeleteProfile(ctx, id, reason, externalRef)`, both writing `deletion_log` in the same transaction as the delete. `SweepResult` returns rows examined, rows deleted, and the age of the oldest surviving row — the last being the only signal that detects a silently stopped sweep, since rows-deleted cannot distinguish a broken sweep from an empty one.
=== DeleteProfile( ===
pii-governance.md:77:- **`DeleteProfile(ctx, id, externalRef)`** for subject requests, on the same code path. **`reason` is not a parameter** — the method asserts `subject_request` internally, as `DeleteExpired` asserts `retention_sweep`. A caller-supplied reason code would let a copy-paste error mislabel an audit row, which destroys the one property the log exists to have: that its reasons are trustworthy.
multi-db-strategy.md:106:    DeleteProfile(ctx context.Context, id string, externalRef *string) error
multi-db-strategy.md:280:**`DeleteProfile(ctx, id, externalRef)`** — subject-deletion. Writes the `deletion_log` row in the same transaction, with **`reason` set internally to `subject_request`; it is not a parameter.**
backlog.md:127:**Description.** The cross-track consistency pass (F21) found that `pii-governance.md` specified a bulk retention sweep and a subject-deletion request sharing one code path, each writing a `deletion_log` row, and `multi-db-strategy.md` §5 defined the table — but **no method on the interface could reach any of it.** `Profiles().Delete` wrote no log row, and §3 forbids 03 from opening a transaction to combine the two, so a policy this track ruled on could not be implemented against the contract this track wrote, and no track owned the gap. Fixed by adding two composite-level methods in `multi-db-strategy.md` §3c: `DeleteExpired(ctx, class, olderThan) (SweepResult, error)` and `DeleteProfile(ctx, id, reason, externalRef)`, both writing `deletion_log` in the same transaction as the delete. `SweepResult` returns rows examined, rows deleted, and the age of the oldest surviving row — the last being the only signal that detects a silently stopped sweep, since rows-deleted cannot distinguish a broken sweep from an empty one.
=== CreateProfileWithCredential( ===
multi-db-strategy.md:101:    CreateProfileWithCredential(ctx context.Context, p *UserProfile, c *UserCredential) (*UserProfile, *UserCredential, error)
=== dao.New( ===
backlog.md:52:**Description.** Turn the prose strategy in `multi-db-strategy.md` into a contract 03 can implement without re-deriving this track's reasoning: interface signatures, a per-method summary table, domain types, the full sentinel set with translation rules, field-level schema with nullability per backend family, indexes, and a numbered out-of-scope list. `security-graded` because it specifies credential storage — `secret`, `secret_state`, `hash_algo`, `hash_cost` — which falls under 02's independent second-review rule. Includes the factory-shape resolution agreed directly with 03 (`dao.Repository` as a composite exposing `Profiles()`/`Credentials()`/`Methods()`, keeping `dao.New(driver, dsn)` unchanged; kept an interface so 03 can mock it) and the write-path retry seam required by `research-cockroachdb-postgres-semantics.md`. Reviewed by 03's own Detail Hawk after delivery; four findings accepted, one of which added `CreateProfileWithCredential` — the contract had barred 03 from composing a cross-call transaction while supplying no atomic path for registration, leaving a window where a profile exists with PII and no credential.
PLAN.md:28:- **Alignment note to 03's published factory**: `../PLANNING.md` service boundaries names `dao.New(driver, dsn string) (dao.Repository, error)` — a single `Repository` return type, while this track specifies three interfaces. Resolve it in the contract (my expected resolution: `dao.Repository` is a small composite that exposes `Profiles()`, `Credentials()`, `Methods()`, keeping Renata's factory signature stable exactly as she declared it) rather than leaving two tracks each thinking the other will bend.
PLAN.md:151:| 03 | Service boundaries in `../PLANNING.md` — already published | Consumed now. The `dao.New(driver, dsn) (dao.Repository, error)` factory versus this track's three interfaces is reconciled inside S1 rather than left as a silent mismatch. |
=== Search(ctx ===
multi-db-strategy.md:9:- **`ProfileRepository`** — `Get(ctx, id) (*UserProfile, error)`; `Search(ctx, query) (results []UserProfile, total int, error)` where `query` filters by name (partial/fuzzy), phone (exact/prefix), region, country, plus limit/offset for pagination; `Create(ctx, *UserProfile) (*UserProfile, error)`; `Update(ctx, *UserProfile) (*UserProfile, error)` implemented as a portable upsert; `Delete(ctx, id) error`.
multi-db-strategy.md:169:    Search(ctx context.Context, q ProfileQuery) (results []UserProfile, total int, err error)
PLAN.md:9:The first-wave design work already exists here as prose — `research-data-ops-best-practices.md` (sourced research), `multi-db-strategy.md` (interface contract and schema shape), `pii-governance.md` (retention and non-conflation rules). What does not exist is the thing 03 actually needs. `planning-approach.md` records my own commitment on this and Marcus adopted it project-wide: a hand-off is implementable only if the receiver can act on it **without re-deriving the sender's reasoning**. `multi-db-strategy.md` today describes `Search(ctx, query) (results []UserProfile, total int, error)` in a sentence. It does not say what `query` is, which fields are nullable, what `Update` does when the row is gone, or whether `total` is the filtered count or the page count. Renata would have to invent all of that, and inventing it is a design decision that belongs to this track, not hers.

## The interface contract (prose, not code)

> **Superseded — read the Go-shaped contract below, not this section.** This is the original first-wave prose, kept for the reasoning it carries and because the corrections in it are part of the record. Where it disagrees with "The Go-shaped contract" further down, **the contract wins**. Two specific claims below were overruled and are marked inline: `Update` is *not* an upsert, and phone search is exact-only. Found by this track's own seam-13 sweep (every restated signature grep-verified against its authoritative source), not by a reviewer — which is the point of making it a check rather than a review.

Three repository interfaces, one per entity, each implemented by two backend packages (below) and never containing SQL themselves — the service layer depends only on these shapes:

- **`ProfileRepository`** — `Get(ctx, id) (*UserProfile, error)`; `Search(ctx, query) (results []UserProfile, total int, error)` where `query` filters by name (partial/fuzzy), phone (~~exact/prefix~~ — **overruled: exact only, on the E.164-normalized value; ruled with 01 under consistency-pass finding F9**), region, country, plus limit/offset for pagination; `Create(ctx, *UserProfile) (*UserProfile, error)`; `Update(ctx, *UserProfile) (*UserProfile, error)` ~~implemented as a portable upsert~~ — **overruled: `Update` never creates and returns `ErrNotFound` on a missing row; the upsert form is the separate `Upsert` method (§3)**; `Delete(ctx, id) error`.
- **`CredentialRepository`** — `GetByUsername(ctx, username) (*UserCredential, error)` as the primary auth lookup path; `ListByUserID(ctx, userID) ([]UserCredential, error)`; `Create`, `Update`, `Delete` mirroring `ProfileRepository`'s shape. Never accepts or returns `UserProfile` fields.
- **`AuthMethodRepository`** — `Get(ctx, id)`, `GetByName(ctx, name)`, `List(ctx, activeOnly bool)`. Read-heavy; writes to this table are an operational action (adding a supported method), not part of the normal request path.

Domain types implied by the above: `UserProfile` (`ID`, `Name`, `Phone`, `StreetAddress`, `Locality`, `Region`, `PostalCode`, `Country`, `Source` — `"direct"` or `"idp_cache"` — `CreatedAt`, `UpdatedAt`); `UserCredential` (`ID`, `UserID` FK, `Username` unique, `MethodID` FK, `Secret` as bytes/nil, `HashAlgo`, `HashCost`, `CreatedAt`, `UpdatedAt`); `AuthMethod` (`ID`, `Name`, `RequiresSecret` bool, `IsActive` bool). A shared `ErrNotFound` sentinel is returned by every backend implementation for a missing row, so the service layer never has to distinguish `sql.ErrNoRows` from a SQLite-specific miss.

=== :225-230 ===
- `Upsert` — the portable `INSERT ... ON CONFLICT (id) DO UPDATE` form. Exists because the IDP hydration path genuinely does not know whether the row exists, which is a real caller rather than a hypothetical one. Any other caller should use `Create` or `Update`.

**`Update` and `Upsert` are FULL REPLACEMENTS, not partial patches.** This is the single most consequential thing in this document and it was missing from the first draft. Every column is written from the struct you pass. **A nil `Phone` sets the stored phone to NULL; it does not leave the existing value alone.** A caller wanting patch semantics must read, modify, and write back. Stated this loudly because both readings are reasonable and the wrong guess silently destroys data.

**`Upsert` conflicts on `id` only, and the caller must already hold that `id`.** It exists for re-hydrating a row already known to exist — not for resolving an unknown one. A cold read caught the circularity in the original justification: the IDP path "does not know whether the row exists" and therefore does not know its `id` either, so `Upsert` could not have served the caller it was justified with. **Resolving an `/identity` payload to an existing profile row is the connector's problem, not the DAO's** — there is deliberately no unique key on `phone` or `name` to match on, because neither is unique in reality. The connector decides identity and then calls `Create` or `Update`.

**`Delete` on a missing row returns `ErrNotFound`**, in both repositories — not a silent nil. Consistent with `Update`. Callers wanting idempotent delete check `errors.Is(err, ErrNotFound)` and treat it as success.

453:| B-Tree on `phone` | all | `Search` phone filter. **Exact match only** — the `ProfileQuery.Phone` contract is exact, and the first draft's "exact/prefix" here contradicted it. The index would support prefix matching; the contract does not offer it. |

Inside `internal/dao`, a bare `*UserProfile` does not compile — it is `*model.UserProfile`. So §3 and your package layout are both right and cannot both be transcribed literally. Taken at its word, the criterion fails on the first line of correct code.\n\n**Amended the contract rather than leaving it to be discovered — new §1a**, which states that §2–§3 signatures are written unqualified for readability and gives the authoritative qualified form:\n\n| Type | Package | In `internal/dao` |\n|---|---|---|\n| `UserProfile`, `UserCredential`, `AuthMethod` | `internal/model` | `*model.UserProfile` etc. |\n| `ProfileQuery`, `SweepResult`, `RetentionClass` | `internal/dao` | unchanged |\n| `Repository` + the three repository interfaces | `internal/dao` | unchanged |\n| Error sentinels (§4) | `internal/dao` | unchanged |\n\nDomain structs in `model` because `internal/api` and `internal/connector` both handle them without touching the DAO; query and sweep types stay in `dao` because they describe how this layer is asked for things and have no meaning above it. If you'd rather `ProfileQuery` live in `model` too, say so — it's your layout and I'll amend; I just won't have it decided implicitly by wherever the first file puts it.\n\n**So the criterion should read:** same method names, same parameter order, same types *modulo the `model.` qualifier*, same return shapes, same error semantics. If you or Oren want a genuine mechanical diff, run it against §3 with the substitution applied — that's a seam-13-style check rather than a review, and I'd take it as the acceptance gate over a human comparison.\n\nTwo other things for LT-35's refinement, both already in the contract but easy to lose between a story title and a diff:\n\n**The conformance suite is part of acceptance, not a follow-up.** §7 — one suite, written once against the interface, executed against every backend. The per-driver ruling in `decisions/multi-db-abstraction.md` is explicitly conditional on it. Two implementations behind one interface guarantee both compile, not that they behave alike, and every defect this track found — SQLite `LIKE` case-insensitivity, collation ordering, `Country` normalization — is invisible when either implementation is read alone.\n\n**§6 is twelve numbered items with named enforcement sites.** If implementation makes one of them wrong, that's a contract amendment and a message to me, not a local workaround. Items 10 and 11 are the weakest (DAO-layer validation plus a test, because `CHECK` can't reference another table) and are the two most likely to feel arbitrary while writing the code.\n\nOn call for anything else. Send ambiguities as you hit them — I'd rather amend twice than have the code decide once.",

  "message": "Implementation has started and the contract is now live — 03 is implementing LT-35 (the DAO interface and factory) against it. I've made the first amendment and I want your review before it hardens, because it is a boundary question and that is your seat.\n\n**Read `./multi-db-strategy.md` §1a** (new, just above §2).\n\n**The problem it answers.** LT-35's acceptance criterion is \"signatures match §3 byte-for-byte.\" But 03's layout puts the domain structs in `internal/model` and the interfaces in `internal/dao`, so inside `internal/dao` a bare `*UserProfile` does not compile — it is `*model.UserProfile`. The criterion and the layout are both correct and cannot both be transcribed literally.\n\n**What I ruled, solo, which is why I want you on it.** §2–§3 signatures stay unqualified for readability; the authoritative form is qualified. `UserProfile`/`UserCredential`/`AuthMethod` live in `internal/model`; `ProfileQuery`, `SweepResult`, `RetentionClass`, `Repository`, the three repository interfaces and the error sentinels stay in `internal/dao`.\n\n**My stated reason**, which is the part to attack: domain structs go in `model` because `internal/api` and `internal/connector` both handle them without touching the DAO; query and sweep types stay in `dao` because they describe how *this* layer is asked for things and have no meaning above it.\n\nThree things I'd like you to push on specifically:\n\n1. **Is that split actually principled, or did I rationalize 03's existing layout?** They put `UserProfile` in `model` before my contract existed. I may have reverse-engineered a justification for a decision that was already made. If the honest answer is \"the layout is fine but your reason for it is post-hoc,\" say so — this track has a habit of right conclusions with the first plausible reason attached, and you have caught it before.\n\n2. **`ProfileQuery` is the genuinely arguable one.** It is a query *input*, and `internal/api` will construct one to call `Search`. That means a package above the DAO must import `dao` to build a query — which is exactly the shape you push back on, an interface whose callers must know about its implementation package. Is that acceptable, or does `ProfileQuery` belong in `model` with the structs? I left it in `dao` and told Renata it is hers to overrule; I would rather have your reasoning first.\n\n3. **Does the unqualified-for-readability convention create a restatement hazard?** We have five instances in this track of a summary drifting from its source. §1a makes §3 a *deliberately* non-literal rendering of the real signatures. I think the mapping table contains that, but you may see a drift path I have not.\n\n≤400 words, return as your result. If you think §1a is right as written, say that plainly — a confirmation reached by argument is worth having and I will sign it with your name on it either way.\n\nPer a new org rule, amendments are signed by persona: this one will read as authored by me and reviewed by you, so your name goes on whatever we land.",

It also loses to a competing test — `UserProfile`'s invariants (E.164 phone, upper-case alpha-2 country) are enforced in DDL and on the DAO write path, so an ownership-of-invariants criterion would put `UserProfile` in `dao`, the opposite answer. Two criteria disagreeing is exactly when the stated one has to be the right one.\n\nThe criterion that holds: **`internal/model` is the leaf — it imports nothing else in `internal/`. A type named by two sibling packages that must not depend on each other belongs in the leaf.** `api` and `connector` both name `UserProfile`; neither may import the other, and neither should have to go through `dao` to say the word. Same conclusion as the usage argument, but checkable, and it decides the next case without a debate.\n\n**`ProfileQuery` stays in `dao`, and this is now settled rather than left open.** I had flagged it to 03 as theirs to overrule, on the worry that `api` importing `dao` to construct a query is an interface whose callers must know its implementation package. Review closed it: that objection is about callers knowing `postgres` or `sqlite`, not about knowing `dao`. `api` already imports `dao` to name `dao.Repository` and to compare `dao.ErrNotFound`, so no new dependency edge is created and moving the type would remove nothing. The leaf test agrees — `ProfileQuery` is named across one existing edge and has no meaning without the method that consumes it, so putting it in the leaf would make a package that depends on nothing carry a type defined entirely by something above it. `SweepResult` and `RetentionClass` follow the same reasoning.\n\n**New types default to `internal/dao`** unless the leaf test above places them in `model`.

He found I'd done the latter. My stated reason was that `api` and `connector` both handle the structs without touching the DAO, and that is a usage observation, not a placement criterion: it describes today's callers and would not tell either of us where to put the next type.

In substituted form I'd take it as LT-35's acceptance gate *in preference to* a human comparison. A mechanical check that false-positives on its first run gets marked noisy and stops being run, which costs more than never adding it.\n\nOne reminder for Oren, since the conformance suite is his: it is the condition the entire per-driver ruling rests on (`decisions/multi-db-abstraction.md`). Two implementations behind one interface guarantee both compile, not that they behave alike. The minimum assertions are in §7, and the three worth running first are the ones that already bit us in design — SQLite `LIKE` case-insensitivity, collation ordering across backends, and `Country` normalization at write.\n\nA1 is signed in the contract's new amendments log with both our names.",

When Desmond looked, the shared tree's HEAD was still at `0cc3ff9` — several commits behind — so the working file legitimately showed as modified relative to *that* HEAD. His read of the evidence in front of him was correct; the underlying state moved.\n\nSo there's nothing for me to push, and I've removed the worktree and branch I'd created to do it rather than leave them lying around.\n\n**Two things worth keeping from this, though, because the mechanism he found is sound even though this instance evaporated.**\n\nFirst: **`TestContractChecksumUpToDate` is a good check and it is exactly seam 13 in executable form** — a restatement (the checksum) of an authoritative source (the contract) that fails loudly when they diverge. It is the strongest version of the thing this track has been arguing for, because it cannot be skipped by a reviewer who reasonably assumes the doc is current. I'd rather it fire spuriously than not exist.\n\nSecond, and worth Desmond knowing since it bears on how he reads this class of evidence: **a \"file modified\" signal in the shared tree is relative to that tree's HEAD, not to `origin/main`** — and with several sessions committing and merging concurrently, the shared tree's HEAD can be well behind. The check that actually answers \"is this doc pushed\" is `git diff origin/main -- <path>` after a fetch, not `git status`. That's not a correction of his conclusion — he flagged a real divergence and recommended the right remedy — it's just the sharper instrument for next time, and this project now has enough concurrent writers that the difference matters.\n\nPlease pass both on, and thanks for the flag. A false alarm that arrives early is worth more than a real one that arrives at merge.",

  "content": "# DDL review checklist — what 05 checks before a migration PR merges\n\nOwner: 05-data-ops (Priya Nandakumar). Audience: **track 03, before writing migrations** — not only 05 at review time. Published ahead of LT-36/LT-37 so the checks are known in advance rather than discovered in review; the same reasoning as amendment A1, where flagging a contract ambiguity before implementation cost one message and finding it at review would have cost a rewrite.\n\n**This introduces no new decisions.** Every item derives from `./multi-db-strategy.md` (the contract), `./migration-approach.md`, or `./pii-governance.md`, and each line names its source. If an item here disagrees with the contract, the contract wins and I have made an error — tell me and I will amend.\n\n## A. Layout\n\n1. **`shared/` contains seed data only — no `CREATE TABLE`.** All DDL lives in `postgres/` and `sqlite/`. (`migration-approach.md` §2, corrected under consistency-pass finding F28.)\n2. **`postgres/` serves PostgreSQL *and* CockroachDB.** No third directory. (Contract §9 of the out-of-scope list.)\n3. **Two goose invocations, separate version tables** (`goose_db_version_shared`, `goose_db_version_<driver>`). One shared table across two directories interleaves independent sequences and corrupts history. (`migration-approach.md` §2.)\n\n## B. Every constraint is named — this one is load-bearing\n\n4. **No anonymous constraints anywhere.** Error translation matches on SQLSTATE *plus the constraint name*, never on message text, because CockroachDB's message and `DETAIL` structure are not portable and its SQLSTATEs have a documented history of drift. An unnamed constraint is a sentinel that cannot be produced. (Contract §4; `research-cockroachdb-postgres-semantics.md` §3.)\n5. Names the contract already fixes: `uq_user_credential_username`, `fk_user_credential_method`, `ck_user_credential_secret_state`, `ck_user_profile_phone_e164`, `ck_deletion_log_reason`, and `ck_user_profile_{street_address,locality,region,postal_code}_nonempty`. (Contract §5.)\n\n## C. The three differences that already bit us in design\n\nThese are the defects the behavioural conformance suite exists to catch. Each was invisible when either implementation was read alone.\n\n6. **Collation is explicit on `user_profile.name` in both engines** — `COLLATE \"C\"` on Postgres/CockroachDB, `COLLATE BINARY` on SQLite — in the DDL, not only in `ORDER BY`. Without it, page 1 of a search returns different rows per backend: Postgres sorts by database collation, SQLite's default byte order puts every uppercase letter before every lowercase one. (Contract §6.3.)\n7. **The trigram index is an expression index on `LOWER(name)` with `gin_trgm_ops`, not on the bare column** — a GIN index on bare `name` is not used by a `LOWER(name)` predicate, so the accelerator would accelerate nothing. Postgres/CockroachDB only; **absent on SQLite, omitted rather than faked.** (Contract §5 Indexes, §6.3.)\n8. **`country` carries `CHECK (country IS NULL OR (country = upper(country) AND length(country) = 2))`** — normalization at write, not only at query. A stored `us` is silently invisible to a search for `US`. SQLite's `upper()` is ASCII-only, which is sufficient for alpha-2 and is written down so nobody assumes it generalizes. (Contract §6.5.)\n\n## D. Per-column checks\n\n9. **UUID primary keys on every backend** — server-generated on Postgres/CockroachDB, app-generated in Go before insert on SQLite. No per-backend PK strategy. (Contract §6.6.)\n10. **Absence is single-valued: NULL means absent, `''` is invalid.** All four address columns nullable with non-empty `CHECK`s; `name` `NOT NULL` with `length(trim(name)) > 0`. (Contract §5.)\n11. **`phone`** — regex `CHECK` on Postgres/CockroachDB, the `GLOB` form given in contract §5 on SQLite. Both named `ck_user_profile_phone_e164`. Exact-match only per finding F9; the B-tree index would support prefix, the contract does not offer it.\n12. **`secret_state`** — the table-level `CHECK` tying `secret_state` to `secret`/`hash_algo`/`hash_cost` must be present, or a row with a secret and no algorithm becomes representable. (Contract §5.)\n13. **Timestamps** — `TIMESTAMPTZ` on Postgres/CockroachDB, `TEXT` RFC3339 UTC on SQLite.\n14. **Booleans** — native on Postgres/CockroachDB, `INTEGER` 0/1 on SQLite, mapped at the DAO boundary.\n\n## E. Foreign keys and `deletion_log`\n\n15. **`user_credential.user_id` → `user_profile(id)` `ON DELETE CASCADE`**; `method_id` → `auth_method(id)` **RESTRICT**. The asymmetry is deliberate and documented: deleting a profile destroys its credentials, deleting a credential leaves the profile standing. (Contract §6.2.)\n16. **`deletion_log.profile_id` has NO foreign key** — the row it names is meant not to exist. (Contract §5.)\n17. **`deletion_log` carries no name, phone, address, username or secret column.** A conformance test asserts this; the DDL must not make it false. (Contract §6.11.)\n\n## F. Seed data\n\n18. **`auth_method` seeded with one `'password'` row, idempotent via `INSERT ... ON CONFLICT (name) DO NOTHING`.** In `shared/`, as a migration — not a runtime bootstrap. (`migration-approach.md` §4.)\n19. **New auth methods are inserted as data, never added as migrations.** A migration to add `passkey` means something upstream has been misunderstood — flag it. (Contract §6.7.)\n\n## What I will not do at review\n\nRe-open decisions. If the DDL is correct against this list and something still looks wrong to me, that is a **contract amendment** with a signed entry in the amendments log, not a review comment asking for a change the contract does not require. The contract is authoritative and the code follows it; where the code has found the contract wrong — which has happened three times, each time caught by the person implementing against it rather than by anyone reading it — the fix is to amend the document.\n\n---\n\n*Work-By: Priya Nandakumar (05 Data Ops lead, Claude Opus 5). Derived from existing rulings; no new decisions. Items 6–8 trace to defects found by Yusuf Karadag (DDL/nullability review) and the S2 adversarial pair with Anders Vogel; item 17 to Beatriz Achterberg's retention work; the F28 layout correction to the cross-track consistency pass.*\n"

  "command": "cd /Users/warrenthompson/Source/LoginID && cat > /tmp/claude-501/pr6-review.md <<'EOF'\n## 05 Data Ops — DDL review (LT-36)\n\nReviewed `migrations/postgres/00001_initial_schema.sql` and `migrations/shared/00001_seed_auth_method.sql` against `05-data-ops/ddl-review-checklist.md` and the contract. **The DDL is good work** — items 5–13, 15–18 all pass, and the named constraints, the `COLLATE \"C\"`, and the `LOWER(name)` expression index are exactly right. Three findings, in order of seriousness. **The first is mine, not yours.**\n\n### 1. Migration ordering in my own hand-off doc was inverted — corrected, and it affects 04's pipeline\n\nReading your seed and DDL together surfaced an error in `05-data-ops/migration-approach.md`, not in this PR. That document said the run is `shared/` **then** the backend directory. That was right when `shared/` held the `CREATE TABLE`s — but consistency-pass finding F28 moved all DDL into the per-backend directories and left `shared/` holding only the seed row, **which inverted the dependency, and I never revisited the sentence.** Running the documented order on a clean database does `INSERT INTO auth_method …` against a table that does not exist.\n\nCorrected: **backend directory first, then `shared/`.** Nothing in this PR changes; 04's CI stage does.\n\nWorth noting how it hid: your integration suite passed 18/18 because it applied the files in a working order rather than the documented one. **A green suite is evidence that *some* procedure works, not that the documented one does.** No grep would have caught this either — it is an ordering *consequence* of a change, not a restatement, which is the limit of seam 13.\n\n### 2. `CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_trgm` is in a file that must also serve CockroachDB — please change\n\n`migrations/postgres/` serves **both** PostgreSQL and CockroachDB (contract §6.9; one implementation, two engines). CockroachDB has no `pg_trgm` extension — **trigram indexes are native there**, and `05-data-ops/migration-approach.md` R4 already says so: *\"CockroachDB needs nothing here; trigram indexes are native.\"* The privilege split in R4 exists for exactly this reason.\n\nThis is untested rather than known-broken: the integration run was dockerized **Postgres only**, so the CockroachDB migration path has never executed. A statement claimed for two engines and exercised on one is the specific shape this track keeps finding — and the per-driver conformance requirement exists because of it.\n\nSuggested: guard the extension so the same file works on both, or split it into a Postgres-only file with CockroachDB skipping it. Your call which; the requirement is that `migrations/postgres/` applies cleanly on both engines.\n\n### 3. Six anonymous constraints — please name them, and my checklist was stricter than the contract\n\nUnnamed: `auth_method.name UNIQUE`; `user_profile.name` CHECK; `user_profile.country` CHECK; `user_profile.source` CHECK; `user_credential.user_id` FK; `user_credential.secret_state IN (...)` CHECK.\n\n**Being straight about this one:** checklist item 4 says \"no anonymous constraints anywhere\", and contract §4 only *needs* names where a distinct sentinel depends on one — which is true of `ck_user_credential_secret_state` (named, correct) and not of these six, since all CHECK violations map to `ErrInvalidArgument`. So my checklist overstated what §4 requires, and you complied with the contract.\n\nI am still asking for the names, and the reason is cost asymmetry rather than correctness: naming them now is free, and the day we need to distinguish \"bad country\" from \"bad source\" at the error boundary, adding a name to a live table is a migration against production data. Suggest `uq_auth_method_name`, `ck_user_profile_name_nonempty`, `ck_user_profile_country_alpha2`, `ck_user_profile_source`, `fk_user_credential_user`, `ck_user_credential_secret_state_enum`.\n\n### Not blocking\n\nItem 3 (two goose invocations, separate version tables) is not visible in DDL and sits with 04. LT-37's SQLite DDL must give `auth_method.name` a UNIQUE constraint too, or the shared seed's `ON CONFLICT (name)` has no arbiter there.\n\n---\n\n**Work-By:** Priya Nandakumar (05 Data Ops lead, Claude Opus 5) — DDL review.

If there is a cheap way for your migration stage to be the thing that runs in CI, rather than a test harness that applies files its own way, that closes the gap properly; I suspect that is already your design but it is worth confirming.\n\nAlso worth flagging for the same reason: LT-36's integration tests ran against dockerized **Postgres only**, so the CockroachDB migration path has never executed. I have asked 03 to fix a `CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_trgm` that sits in the dual-engine directory and will not work on CockroachDB (trigram is native there — your R4 privilege split already says so). If your pipeline can exercise the CockroachDB path at all, that is where it would pay for itself.",

The backend table gates *schema*, the shared table gates *seed data*.

Suggest deleting it, since its presence implies the schema enforces something it does not.\n\n2. **`db.Exec(\"PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON\")` in `New()` sets it on one pooled connection, not on the pool.** It works today because `SetMaxOpenConns(1)` follows it, so that connection is the only one — but the guarantee then rests on an implicit chain. It breaks silently if a connection error makes the pool reopen, if anyone later sets `ConnMaxLifetime`/`ConnMaxIdleTime`, or if `MaxOpenConns` is raised for read concurrency. None of those changes look like they touch foreign keys.\n\n   **Suggested fix: put it in the DSN**, so every connection acquires it by construction — for `modernc.org/sqlite`, `_pragma=foreign_keys(1)`. Keep `SetMaxOpenConns(1)`; your writer-serialization reason for it is independent and correct.\n\n3. **Why this is worth a PR round rather than a note.** With foreign keys off: deleting a profile leaves credentials orphaned (contract §6.2, a governance control); `DeleteExpired`'s cascade silently retains credential rows past their profile's retention window; and `ErrInvalidMethod` can never be produced, because the `method_id` FK never fires. A governance guarantee, a retention guarantee and an error sentinel all rest on this one pragma.\n\n### What I got wrong, and have fixed\n\nContract §6.2 named `ON DELETE CASCADE` as *the* enforcement site for the cascade. That is true on Postgres/CockroachDB and **false on SQLite.** Amendment **A3** corrects it: the SQLite site is the FK *plus* a connection-level pragma set in the DSN.\n\n§7 also had **no assertion covering any of the three consequences**, so no conformance test would have caught it. A3 adds two: that deleting a profile actually removes its credentials on every backend (and deleting a credential leaves the profile), and that an invalid `method_id` returns `ErrInvalidMethod` on every backend. A passing Postgres test proves nothing about either on SQLite.\n\nYour 24 tests passing is consistent with this — today's configuration is correct; it is the *durability* of the guarantee that is thin, and the missing conformance assertion is mine.\n\n### Also still open from PR #6\n\nThe six anonymous constraints appear here too (`auth_method.name UNIQUE`, `user_profile.name`/`country`/`source` CHECKs, `user_credential.user_id` FK, the `secret_state IN` CHECK).

migration-approach.md:20:  postgres/   # all DDL for Postgres + CockroachDB, plus the trigram index
migration-approach.md:31:- **`postgres/`** carries the full DDL for `auth_method`, `user_profile`, `user_credential` and `deletion_log` in Postgres/CockroachDB types, plus the `pg_trgm` trigram expression index on `LOWER(name)`.
migration-approach.md:32:- **`sqlite/`** carries the same four tables in SQLite types and collations, and no trigram index — there is no SQLite equivalent and it is omitted rather than faked.
migration-approach.md:34:**Nothing in §3–§6 changes, and neither does 04's design**, exactly as the earlier text promised: the two-invocation mechanism, the separate version tables, R1–R5 and the seed-data rule are untouched. R3's worked example still holds and in fact reads better now — a service can have `shared/` current with the `pg_trgm` index unapplied, which is why fail-closed must check both version tables. (`pg_trgm` is a PostgreSQL extension that indexes three-character fragments of text so that substring searches like `LIKE '%smith%'` can use an index instead of scanning every row — it is what makes name search fast. CockroachDB has the same capability built in; SQLite has no equivalent, so the index is omitted there rather than faked.). That parity gap is documented and deliberate (`./multi-db-strategy.md`); SQLite is the local/dev/demo backend, not a production peer.
migration-approach.md:60:**R3. The service fails closed when the schema is behind — checking BOTH version tables.** §2 creates two independent version sequences (`shared/` and the backend directory), so "the applied version" is two numbers, not one. The check must compare both, and must know which backend directory applies to the engine it is connected to. Checking only `shared/` would let a service pass with the `pg_trgm` index unapplied — caught by an objection turn, and it would have been a passing check that proved nothing. On startup the service compares both applied versions against the versions it was built against and refuses to serve if either is behind, rather than serving traffic against a schema missing a column it will query. The requirement is mine; whether the expected version is embedded at build time or derived from the migration files shipped in the image is 03's and 04's call.
migration-approach.md:63:- *Migration runner*: DDL rights (`CREATE`/`ALTER`/`DROP`, index creation) plus, on PostgreSQL only, whatever `CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm` requires — on managed Postgres this is usually an allow-listed extension, otherwise it needs elevated privileges or the platform pre-installing it. CockroachDB needs nothing here; trigram indexes are native. SQLite has no privilege model at all.
=== could-not-verify list ===
## Could not verify

Stated as gaps rather than filled with inference:

- Whether the `#42858` SQLSTATE inconsistency extends to ordinary INSERT-time FK *data* violations (`23503`) on current CockroachDB versions — the closed issue documents a DDL-time case only.
- The exact current-version message/`DETAIL` structure diff between the engines for `23505`/`23503` — specifically whether CockroachDB populates `Detail` and `ConstraintName` on `pgconn.PgError` identically to PostgreSQL. **This gap is the direct reason §3 mandates SQLSTATE-only matching**; the rule holds regardless of how the gap resolves, which is why it did not need resolving before writing the contract.
- Whether `crdbpgx.ExecuteTx` has behaviourally diverged from the `database/sql` variant `crdb.ExecuteTx`.

This is a governance guarantee (§6.2) whose SQLite enforcement depends on a connection-level pragma that fails silently when absent, so it has to be tested rather than assumed.\n2. **An invalid `method_id` returns `ErrInvalidMethod` on every backend.** Same root cause: without the pragma the FK never fires on SQLite, so a passing Postgres test proves nothing about it.\n\nBoth exist because §7 previously had no assertion covering *any* consequence of the pragma — which is the more useful half of A3. The pragma fix you're making closes today's instance; these two assertions are what stop it reopening silently the next time someone changes a connection setting that doesn't look like it touches foreign keys.\n\nPR #10 also carries the `v23.2.0` pin and the record of my withdrawn `pg_trgm` finding, so both of those are in the repo rather than only in a PR comment thread.\n\nThat's everything from me on LT-36/LT-37.

Routing the harness through the same `withForeignKeysOn()` helper closes that, and verifying it by *deliberately reverting and confirming `TestIntegration_ProfileDeleteCascadesToCredentials` fails* is the step that makes the test meaningful rather than decorative.\n\nThat is the same trap as the migration-order defect earlier in this PR series — **the thing being tested and the thing being run were different artifacts** — found and closed without anyone flagging it. Worth noting explicitly because it is now the third instance of that shape in this track, and the first one caught by the author rather than a reviewer.\n\n### One low-priority note, not blocking\n\n`_foreign_keys=on` is `mattn/go-sqlite3`'s DSN spelling; `modernc.org/sqlite`'s documented equivalent is `_pragma=foreign_keys(1)`. It is evidently honored on the pinned version — the cascade test passes, and would not if the parameter were being dropped — so there is nothing to fix today.\n\nWorth knowing rather than acting on: if a future `modernc` upgrade tightens query-param handling, this silently reverts to foreign keys off. **The reason that is acceptable is the cascade test**: it asserts the *property* rather than the spelling, so a regression fails loudly instead of silently. That is exactly the protection §7 now requires (amendment A3), and it is already in place here. If you would rather remove the residual risk entirely, switching to `_pragma=foreign_keys(1)` costs one line — your call, and I would not hold a merge for it.\n\n---\n\n**Work-By:** Priya Nandakumar (05 Data Ops lead, Claude Opus 5) — DDL and driver review.

But every other malformed input in this contract already maps to an argument error rather than a data outcome: a non-empty `ID` passed to `Create`, a `Country` that isn't two characters, an out-of-range `Limit` or `Offset`.

Found by the LT-38 conformance suite.\n\n**My ruling:** `ErrInvalidArgument`, not `ErrNotFound` — on consistency grounds, since every other malformed input in this contract (non-empty `ID` to `Create`, two-character `Country`, out-of-range `Limit`/`Offset`) already maps to an argument error rather than a data outcome. And the enforcement site is **one validator in shared DAO code above both backends**, not two per-backend error translations that must agree, with `22P02` kept only as a backstop.\n\nFour things to attack, in the order I'd rank them:\n\n1. **Is the consistency argument actually load-bearing, or did I reach for the rule that endorsed my instinct?** 03 argued for `ErrNotFound` and their reasoning is genuinely good: an invalid identifier cannot name a row, so \"not found\" is true and callers never pre-validate. I may have preferred `ErrInvalidArgument` first and found the precedent second. You have caught that pattern in this track before.\n\n2. **Where exactly does \"malformed\" end?** I said UUID syntax. Is an empty-string id malformed, or not-found? What about a well-formed UUID of the wrong version, or one with surrounding whitespace? The contract says \"validates UUID syntax\" and does not define the boundary — which is your specific complaint about nullable columns whose null has no stated meaning, in a different costume.\n\n3. **Does validating above the backends conflict with anything?** `Delete`, `Update`, `Upsert`, `GetByUsername`, `ListByUserID`, `DeleteProfile` all take ids. If every one validates first, do any of them now return `ErrInvalidArgument` where the contract currently promises something else, and does that break a stated guarantee elsewhere?\n\n4. **The two conformance assertions** — malformed → `ErrInvalidArgument`, and well-formed-but-absent → `ErrNotFound`. Is that pair sufficient to prove the distinction is syntactic rather than existential, or is there a third case I need?\n\nNumbered objections, each closing with what would change your mind, as always. ≤400 words.

Found by LT-38's conformance suite.\n\n**Ruling: a malformed or non-canonical identifier is `ErrInvalidArgument`, never `ErrNotFound`.**\n\n**The decisive reason is governance, not symmetry.** This contract tells callers to treat `ErrNotFound` from a delete as success (§3, idempotent delete). So under the alternative reading — malformed id means \"not found\" — **a subject-deletion request with a typo'd identifier reports *completed* to the data subject.** A GDPR erasure request would be recorded as performed while nothing was deleted, and `pii-governance.md` builds the whole subject-deletion path on this sentinel. That is the argument that decides it.\n\nA secondary consistency argument also holds — every other malformed input here maps to an argument error rather than a data outcome (`Create` with a non-empty `ID`, a two-character `Country`, an out-of-range `Limit`). It is true, and it is *not* load-bearing: both readings cost one translation either way. It is recorded second because that is its actual weight; an objection turn found it had been reached for first.\n\n#### Canonical form only — the validator must not admit variants\n\n**`uuid.Parse` is too permissive to use as the validator**, and using it would move this defect rather than close it. It accepts the canonical form, brace-wrapped, `urn:uuid:`-prefixed and unhyphenated hex, case-insensitively. All four would pass validation — and then **Postgres normalizes them and finds the row, while SQLite byte-compares `TEXT` against the stored canonical form and returns `ErrNotFound`.** An uppercase-hex UUID is the cheapest reproduction. The divergence simply relocates from malformed identifiers to well-formed non-canonical ones, where no assertion was looking.\n\nSo: **the validator accepts only the canonical 36-character lowercase hyphenated form and rejects the other three.** Correspondingly, **every write path stores exactly that form** — on SQLite this is a requirement, not a convention, because `TEXT` comparison is byte-wise and there is nothing else to enforce it.\n\n**The empty string is `ErrInvalidArgument` on every lookup.** It is the commonest caller bug — a zero-value struct field — and had no stated answer. `Create`'s `ID` is the single named exception, where `\"\"` is *required*.\n\n#### Where validation applies — named parameters, not \"every id\"\n\nA blanket rule breaks three methods, so the rule names its parameters:\n\n**Validated:** `Profiles().Get`/`Update`/`Upsert`/`Delete` `id`; `Credentials().Update`/`Delete` `id`; `Credentials().ListByUserID` `userID`; `Methods().Get` `id`; `DeleteProfile` `id`.\n\n**Not validated:** `Create`'s `ID` (must be `\"\"`); `CreateProfileWithCredential`'s `c.UserID` (ignored on input and overwritten); `DeleteProfile`'s `externalRef` (an opaque external reference, not a UUID); `GetByUsername`'s `username` and `Methods().GetByName`'s `name` (not identifiers).\n\n**One guarantee changes as a result, and it is recorded rather than absorbed:** `ListByUserID` is documented to return an empty slice rather than `ErrNotFound` when a user has no credentials. It now returns **`ErrInvalidArgument`** on a malformed `userID` — a different outcome from both, and §3a's row is updated to say so.\n\n#### Enforcement site\n\n**One validator in shared DAO code above both backends**, not two per-backend error translations that must agree. Parity is then by construction: Postgres never reaches the query, SQLite never silently misses. `22P02 → ErrInvalidArgument` stays in the backend translation as a **backstop** for any path where a malformed identifier reaches SQL another way — defence in depth, not the enforcement site.\n\n#### Conformance assertions (§7) — three, not two\n\n1. A malformed identifier returns `ErrInvalidArgument` on every backend.\n2. A **well-formed canonical** identifier naming no row returns `ErrNotFound` on every backend.\n3. A **well-formed non-canonical** identifier (uppercase hex, braced, `urn:uuid:`, unhyphenated) returns the same result on every backend.\n\nThe first two together prove the distinction is syntactic rather than existential. **The third is what tests the defect this amendment was revised to fix** — without it, the uppercase-hex divergence is untested and A4 would have shipped its own bug.\n\n\"\"\"\ns = s[:start] + new + s[end:]\n\nold2=\"\"\"| A4 | 2026-09-12 | §4, §7 | Malformed identifiers return `ErrInvalidArgument`, validated once above the backends rather than translated per-backend |\"\"\"\nassert s.count(old2)==1\nnew2=\"\"\"| A4 | 2026-09-12 | §3a, §4, §7 | Identifier validation: malformed **or non-canonical** ids return `ErrInvalidArgument`, validated once above the backends against the canonical form only |\"\"\"\ns=s.replace(old2,new2)\n\nold3=\"\"\"Objection turn: **Yusuf Karadag** (05, Detail Hawk — error semantics) |\"\"\"\nassert s.count(old3)==1\nnew3=\"\"\"Objection turn: **Yusuf Karadag** (05, Detail Hawk) — **five objections, all accepted; the amendment was substantially revised.** He found that the first version's validator *moved* the divergence rather than closing it (`uuid.Parse` admits four textual forms; Postgres normalizes them and finds the row, SQLite byte-compares and misses), that `\"\"` was undefined, that \"every method taking an id\" broke three methods and silently changed `ListByUserID`'s guarantee, and that the ruling's stated reason was the weaker one — the decisive argument being that `ErrNotFound` is treated as success by delete callers, so a typo'd subject-deletion request would report completed to the data subject |\"\"\"\nio.open(p,\"w\",encoding=\"utf-8\").write(s.replace(old3,new3))\nprint(\"A4 revised\")\nPYEOF",

  "message": "**Ruled — amendment A5, in the contract and `migration-approach.md` now. Split the migration directories per driver string; you're unblocked.**\n\n```\nmigrations/\n  shared/       # seed only\n  postgres/     # COLLATE \"C\" on user_profile.name, trigram index\n  cockroachdb/  # NO collate clause, trigram index\n  sqlite/       # COLLATE BINARY, no trigram index\n```\n\n`postgres/` and `cockroachdb/` differ in exactly one clause today. **Every constraint name stays identical across all three**, which is what keeps them diffable and what makes cross-backend sentinel translation work at all.\n\n**Why not option (a), the `LOCALE 'C'` database.** It moves the guarantee off the schema and into a provisioning step — invisible at review, unenforced by anything the repository contains, and silently wrong on any database created without it. That is precisely the enforcement-site failure this contract has spent five amendments removing. The guarantee belongs in the artifact that declares it.\n\n**Why splitting doesn't contradict the two-package ruling.** It doesn't touch it. `internal/dao/postgres` still serves both engines — query construction and dialect genuinely *are* shared; the divergences are the retry seam (already keyed off the driver string) and now DDL collation. **I had conflated \"one Go package\" with \"one migration directory\", and they were never the same claim.** `DB_DRIVER` already had three distinct values, so `migrations/<driver>` falls out of the existing mechanism rather than changing it. Contract item 9 now says this explicitly, because my original wording invited exactly the conflation that produced this.\n\n**Your empirical work is what made this rulable in one turn**, and I've recorded it that way. Testing that CockroachDB's *uncollated* default already yields byte order — `Aaron, Bob, alice, bob` — is the finding that let me split the directories confidently rather than hunting for a portable clause that doesn't exist. And you established that omitting the clause on PostgreSQL is *not* equivalently safe, which is the asymmetry the whole amendment turns on. A docs-derived answer would have had me guessing at both halves.\n\nTwo things to carry into LT-38 now that the CockroachDB run can actually execute:\n\n**The §7 ordering assertion finally has teeth.** \"Identical ordering across backends\" has been in the contract since S2 and has never run against CockroachDB, because the migration wouldn't apply. That assertion is now the thing standing between us and a silent per-engine collation regression — it is worth running early rather than last.\n\n**And it's worth noticing what this was.** Contract §6.3 asserted a guarantee, named its enforcement site, and the named site was *syntactically impossible* on one of the three engines. Five reviewers, three cold reads and a consistency pass all read that line. **The only thing that could have caught it was trying to apply it to a live CockroachDB** — which is the argument for the conformance suite, made concrete for the fifth time.",

All three changes are correct, and the one most likely to have been missed was not.\n\n**Phone `CHECK` narrowed in *both* `migrations/postgres/` and `migrations/cockroachdb/`** — `^\\+[1-9][0-9]{6,14}$` in each, SQLite unchanged at `BETWEEN 8 AND 16`. All three now accept exactly a `+` followed by 7–15 digits. This is the A5/A6 interaction and it was the likely miss: A5 split the migrations three ways only hours ago, so a fix applied to \"the Postgres migration\" would have left CockroachDB accepting a set the other two reject. It landed in both.\n\n**`GetByUsername` folds in SQL only** — `WHERE LOWER(username) = LOWER($1)` with the raw `username` passed, in both backends. The `strings.ToLower` calls are gone. The column-side expression matches the `LOWER(username)` index so it stays usable, and the third lowercaser is eliminated rather than merely made consistent.\n\n**Both conformance assertions present** — phone accept/reject parity at the 6/7/15/16-digit boundaries, and case-insensitive username lookup kept distinct from the existing duplicate-on-create test. That distinction matters: collision-on-insert and lookup-by-different-case are different properties, and asserting only the first would leave the fold untested on the read path.\n\nGreen against Postgres 16, CockroachDB v23.2.0 and SQLite. **Approved from this track.**\n\nThe contract side is #25.\n\n### Worth recording about this pair of defects\n\nNeither needed a test to find, and neither was subtle once looked at correctly. The E.164 divergence is arithmetic off the page: `{1,14}` is 2–15 digits, `BETWEEN 8 AND 16` is 7–15, and `+1234` sits in the gap. It survived a consistency pass, three cold reads and every review this contract has had — because **both constraints are correct when read separately, and nobody was reading them as a pair.**\n\nThat is the same shape as every other defect this track has produced: the artifacts were individually right and the relationship between them was wrong. What made these two findable was a rule about *where to look* — compare the two dialect expressions of one requirement — rather than more careful reading of either.\n\n---\n\n**Work-By:** Priya Nandakumar (05 Data Ops lead, Claude Opus 5) — verification and approval.

Correct text, no-op migration, live databases keeping the old constraint indefinitely while the file, the tests and the reviewer all looked right.\n\nYour suggested checklist line was missing and is now in as section G, items 20–23:\n\n- **20.** Never edit an already-numbered migration that could plausibly have been applied *anywhere* — any environment, any CI run, any developer's laptop. Corrections ship as a new numbered migration. The safe window for editing in place closes well before a PR.\n- **21.** A constraint change is a `DROP` + `ADD` in a new migration, one file per affected directory, same version, same constraint name.\n- **22.** **Verify by incremental apply, not against a fresh schema** — a fresh build passes for an edited `00001`, which is exactly why this hides.\n- **23.** CockroachDB rejects a same-transaction `DROP` + `ADD` of a same-named constraint; those need `-- +goose NO TRANSACTION`.\n\nAlso added to `migration-approach.md` as **R4a**, since 04 needs 22 and 23 for the migration Job — they're pipeline properties, not just review notes.\n\n**Why my checklist missed it, because the shape is familiar.** Items A–F all review a migration file's *contents*. Not one of them asked the prior question — will this apply? The checklist reads artifacts and not sequences, which is the same blind spot that produced the migration-order inversion, the `COLLATE \"C\"` impossibility, and the E.164 pair. Every defect this track has found lives in a relationship between things, and I built a review instrument that inspects things.\n\nItem 22 is the load-bearing one and it generalizes past migrations: **the thing tested and the thing run must be the same artifact.** That's now the third time it has appeared — your integration suite applying files in its own order, your SQLite harness setting its own pragma, and now a fresh-schema build standing in for an incremental apply. All three were caught by your side, not mine.\n\nAnd your second finding is the better argument for item 22 than anything I'd have written: **the `NO TRANSACTION` requirement only surfaced because you ran the real incremental sequence.** A fresh-schema apply never performs a `DROP`+`ADD`, so it cannot encounter the limitation at all. Verifying the right way found a second defect the wrong way could not have reached.\n\nI'll re-verify e61d165 and re-post approval.",

CockroachDB's `NO TRANSACTION` requirement, which a fresh-schema apply **cannot discover at all**, because that path never performs a `DROP`+`ADD`.\n\nIn every case the test was well written and tested the wrong artifact.
