Integration caught it: 36 tests failing with NoResultFound, all on
_system_tag(db, "banner") and its siblings. 0075 seeds three hygiene
system tags — wip, banner, editor screenshot — and the first version of
the baseline carried only the two settings singletons.

This is the same defect class the baseline's own docstring warns about,
which I then walked into anyway. The reason is worth recording: my scan
for data statements used a regex requiring INSERT to sit immediately
after the opening quote, so it saw

    op.execute("INSERT INTO ml_settings (id) VALUES (1)")

and missed 0075, which builds the statement through sa.text() across
several lines with bound parameters. The narrow pattern found two of
three seeds and reported itself complete.

The wider scan — grep for insert/bulk_insert across every revision in
725bf15 — turns up six data-writing migrations, and they separate
mechanically:

  INSERT ... VALUES (literals)     = SEED.     Product data. Carry it.
    0002 import_settings, 0003 ml_settings, 0075 system tags
  INSERT ... SELECT ... FROM tbl   = BACKFILL. Derives from existing
    rows, inserts nothing on an empty database, correctly omitted.
    0034 artist_visit, 0040 and 0047 series_chapter

That rule is now in the docstring, because the next person collapsing a
chain needs the rule more than they need the answer.

0075's adopt-before-insert guard is kept as WHERE NOT EXISTS. It cannot
fire on the empty database this file runs against — it existed because an
operator might already have hand-tagged `wip` — but it makes the
statement re-runnable for free.

Worth stating plainly: baseline.yml passed on the version without these
rows, and would pass again. It compares schema, and a baseline missing
every seed still produces a byte-identical schema. The integration suite
is what caught this, which is the argument for the first-run check that
#3271 should carry.

89 files and 6,300 lines become one file of 807. Nothing about the
resulting schema changes; what goes away is the requirement that a new
installation replay our development history to arrive at it.

revision = "0089", down_revision = None. That pairing IS the migration
strategy for existing installs, not a detail of it: a deployed database
already has alembic_version = '0089' from running the real 0089, so
alembic reads the version table, sees head reached, and does nothing. No
stamp is required — which matters, because `alembic stamp` writes a
version string without validating anything about the schema it is writing
it against, and a wrong stamp is indistinguishable from a right one until
the next migration fails. An empty database runs the file and records
0089. Both paths converge. The next migration is 0090, as it would have
been; the numbering is continuous across the collapse on purpose.

Autogenerate produced nearly all of this unaided, which was NOT true of
the first attempt — that one was reverted because the generator silently
dropped eleven indexes and three uniqueness guarantees. #3275 put those
on the models first, so the HNSW index with its opclass, the COALESCE
expression index, the partial uniques, 107 server_defaults and the enum
CHECKs are all emitted now. Doing the reconciliation before the squash,
rather than after, is what made this work.

Hand-added, because none of it can live in a model:

  * CREATE EXTENSION vector / tsm_system_rows (0001, 0004) — database
    objects, not table metadata.
  * The pgvector import. Autogenerate writes qualified
    pgvector.sqlalchemy.vector.VECTOR references without importing the
    package, so its own output cannot run (run 4988).
  * THE TWO SEED ROWS. 0002 and 0003 did not only build schema — each
    inserted a settings singleton, and nothing in the app ever creates
    them: ImportSettings.load() and MLSettings.load() are
    select(...).scalar_one(), which RAISES NoResultFound rather than
    returning None. A models-only baseline would leave both tables empty
    and crash a fresh install on first settings access, while
    baseline.yml reported a perfect schema match. Only running the app
    against a new database finds that.

Not carried over: 0023's DELETE FROM tag and 0047's series deletes, which
are historical cleanups operating on rows an empty database lacks.

downgrade() raises. A baseline's downgrade is "drop every table", which
is a data-loss event wearing a migration as a disguise; offering it as
one invites someone to run it. Restore from a backup.

Also removed, per the plan: the 10 test_migration_*.py files (they assert
intermediate states and backfills that no longer exist — a test that a
column exists is already the model tests' job) and
backend/app/utils/artist_backfill.py, whose only importer was 0008.
Verified no other consumer anywhere in backend/ or tests/.

baseline.yml changes with it. chain_ref now DEFAULTS to 725bf15, since
the tree no longer carries a chain to compare against — that pinned
commit is the last one that does.

And the CheckConstraint repair is removed, because it never fired. I
added it claiming autogenerate re-doubles a constraint name on the round
trip and asserted in b979062 that it was "still correct and still
needed". It is not: autogenerate wraps names in op.f(), which marks them
already-formatted and blocks the convention from re-applying. Tested
against the real candidate line — the regex matches nothing. What
actually fixed the mismatch was 0088's renames alone. The doubling is a
real hazard, but of hand-writing a pre-prefixed name, not of the
generator; the comment asserting otherwise was worse than the dead code
under it.

The header comment is rewritten for the same reason — it described 87
revisions, and claimed the HNSW index could not be expressed in a model,
which #3275 disproved. It now also states plainly what this check CANNOT
see: it compares schema, so a green run means the schema is right, not
that the baseline is.
