Six foreign keys exist only in hand-written migration SQL. Their columns deliberately have no Prisma @relation, because adding one pushes the extended client past TypeScript's instantiation limit (TS2321). prisma migrate dev sees them as drift and can write a DROP CONSTRAINT for them into the next generated migration. Committed unread, that silently removes their CASCADE / SET NULL behaviour in production. Several PRs with DB changes are in flight, so this needs to land first.

  1. Before: the post-migration script (fix: prisma schema mismatch with DB #1546) only stripped DROP INDEX for one protected index. Nothing protected foreign keys except a code comment asking people to edit the migration by hand.
  2. Now: the same script also strips generated drops of the six foreign keys below, and a test fails CI if a migration adds another hand-written foreign key without listing it.
Foreign key On delete
AssetModelCustomFieldDefault_customFieldId_fkey CASCADE
BookingAsset_assetKitId_fkey SET NULL
BookingAsset_bookingModelRequestId_fkey SET NULL
BookingAsset_sourceKitId_fkey SET NULL
BookingAsset_sourceLocationId_fkey SET NULL
ConsumptionLog_bookingAssetId_fkey SET NULL

The list came from replaying every committed migration against schema.prisma, not from memory. Implicit many-to-many join tables (_AssetToTag and so on) are Prisma's own and are left out.

Ship path: dev tooling only (db:prepare-migration). Nothing runs in production, no migration.

How it works
  • packages/database/src/protected-indexes.ts: PROTECTED_FOREIGN_KEYS next to PROTECTED_INDEXES, and a pure stripProtectedDrops() that removes the generated drops of both, with their -- DropIndex / -- DropForeignKey comment lines. post-migration.ts already calls it after db:prepare-migration; unchanged.
  • packages/database/src/protected-indexes.test.ts: the stripping keeps every other statement (including drops of foreign keys that are not protected). The guard replays the migrations and fails when a foreign key is neither in the schema nor protected, or when a listed key no longer exists or is now in the schema. CI runs it in the packages test step.
  • Docs: apps/docs/protected-indexes.md rewritten (it listed a removed index, the wrong path, and said the script runs on migrate deploy). One schema comment now points at the list.
Testing
  • pnpm --filter @shelf/database run test: 52 pass, including the 6 new ones.
  • Removing BookingAsset_sourceLocationId_fkey from the list makes the guard fail and name the key and its migration.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Migration preparation now preserves configured protected indexes and foreign keys by removing their drop statements from the newest generated migration. Unrelated migration SQL remains unchanged.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the Database sidebar label to “Protected Indexes and Foreign Keys.”
    • Expanded guidance on registering and testing protected foreign keys, how migration preparation handles protected objects, and its limitations. Clarifies that protection runs during migration preparation—not deployment—and that running prisma migrate dev directly may retain drops.

…ign keys

Six foreign keys exist only in hand-written migration SQL because their
columns deliberately have no Prisma @relation (TS2321). prisma migrate dev
sees them as drift and writes a DROP CONSTRAINT into the next generated
migration, which would remove their CASCADE / SET NULL behaviour in
production if committed unread.

- protected-indexes.ts: add PROTECTED_FOREIGN_KEYS next to
  PROTECTED_INDEXES, and a pure stripProtectedDrops() that removes the
  generated drops of both (with their -- DropIndex / -- DropForeignKey
  comment lines). post-migration.ts already runs it after
  db:prepare-migration.
- protected-indexes.test.ts: unit tests for the stripping, plus a guard
  that replays the committed migrations and fails when one leaves a foreign
  key that is neither described by schema.prisma nor protected, or when a
  listed key no longer exists or is now in the schema. CI runs it through
  the packages test step.
- docs: rewrite protected-indexes.md (it listed a removed index and the
  wrong path) and rename the sidebar entry; point the schema comment on
  AssetModelCustomFieldDefault.customFieldId at the list.

Risk: No findings

The follow-up adds two trigram indexes to the schema and a whitespace clean-up after stripping protected drops. The clean-up regexes run only in dev tooling on locally generated migrations, so I found no security issue.

…order

- stripProtectedDrops now matches the schema-qualified SQL Prisma writes
  (ALTER TABLE "public"."X" DROP CONSTRAINT, DROP INDEX "public"."x").
  The unqualified-only pattern missed them, which is how
  20250806090215_add_updates_model dropped the protected
  _AssetToTag_asset_idx.
- The migration replay in the guard test applies ADD, DROP and RENAME
  CONSTRAINT in the order they appear, so a migration that drops a foreign
  key and adds it again leaves it in place.
- Tests for both: schema-qualified foreign key and index drops, and
  drop-then-add / add-then-drop within one migration.

Walkthrough

The migration protection code covers configured hand-created foreign keys as well as indexes. The handler strips matching drops from the newest migration after migration generation. Tests check drop removal and consistency between migration-created foreign keys, the Prisma schema, and the protected list. The documentation describes the script and its scope. The Location model also adds trigram indexes for description and address.

Changes

Migration Drop Protection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Protected object registry and SQL stripping
packages/database/src/protected-indexes.ts, packages/database/prisma/schema.prisma
The module exports protected index and foreign-key lists and a helper that removes matching drop statements. The schema comment describes how migration preparation handles the protected foreign key.
Migration validation and documentation
packages/database/src/protected-indexes.test.ts, apps/docs/protected-indexes.md, apps/docs/.vitepress/config.js
The handler applies drop stripping to the newest migration and logs each protected name. Tests cover drop removal, migration replay, schema-name parsing, and consistency between migration-created foreign keys, the Prisma schema, and the protected list. The documentation and sidebar describe protection for indexes and foreign keys, and the script’s execution and editing scope.

Merge Risk: Low · up to f4a3f

The foreign-key protection has a narrow migration-editing edge case: whitespace cleanup can alter multiline quoted text elsewhere in the migration. Localizing cleanup would remove this risk; otherwise, merging requires awareness of this limitation.

…ents

The foreign key replay read whole migration files, so a `-- DROP CONSTRAINT "x"`
line in a hand-written migration comment counted as a real drop and the
guard would stop checking that key. Strip `--` comments before replaying,
with a test for it.

Comment thread packages/database/prisma/schema.prisma Resolved
- The guard built the default foreign key name from Prisma field and model
  names; Prisma uses the database names, so a relation column with @Map or
  a model with @@Map would have raised a false alarm. Resolve both, with a
  test on an inline schema.
- Schema comment on AssetModelCustomFieldDefault.customFieldId: say the drop
  is stripped by db:prepare-migration running post-migration.ts, and that
  plain prisma migrate dev keeps it.

Minor follow-up Handle the 63-byte limit in default foreign-key names.

235-235: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Handle the 63-byte limit in default foreign-key names.

Prisma trims a default name longer than 63 bytes, so the migration SQL holds a shorter name. This function builds the untruncated name, so the consistency test reports that key as unprotected. No current relation exceeds the limit. Trim names here too, or require map: above 63 bytes.

The guard read `/* */` blocks in migrations and `//` comments in the
schema as code. No committed file triggers either today, but a relation
left in a schema comment would make the guard treat an unprotected foreign
key as described. Strip both, with tests.

Follow-up Comments

Minor follow-up Strip comments only outside SQL string literals.

147-147: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Strip comments only outside SQL string literals.

The replay regex removes all text after any --, including a -- inside a quoted string. A line such as SELECT '--'; ALTER TABLE "Note" ADD CONSTRAINT ... loses its foreign key add, so the consistency test does not see that key. Match quoted strings first, then strip comments.

The schema comment-removal regex also truncates a quoted @map or relation map value containing //, potentially deriving a different foreign-key name from the valid schema.

The consistency test can incorrectly reject a schema-described foreign key.

This can occur when: A valid mapped relation uses a constraint name such as map: "Note_owner//id_fkey", and a migration creates that named constraint.

@coderabbitai Re the two "Minor follow-up" findings in this review, not applying either:

  1. Strip comments only outside SQL string literals (replayForeignKeyStatements). No committed migration has a string literal containing -- or /*. The only grep hit is ALTER TYPE "Currency" ADD VALUE IF NOT EXISTS 'TOP'; -- Pa'anga, where the -- is a real comment. A quote-aware SQL tokenizer in a test helper is more machinery than the guard needs.
  2. The schema // stripping truncates a quoted value containing // (foreignKeysDescribedBySchema). No line in schema.prisma has // inside a quoted value, so no @map or relation map: is cut today. If a URL default ever lands on the same line as an @map, the guard fails loudly (it reports a key as unprotected), so it cannot hide a real problem.

Length of output: 13397


@DonKoko Agreed. I withdraw both minor follow-up findings.

  • For replayForeignKeyStatements, the committed inputs you describe do not justify a quote-aware SQL tokenizer.
  • For foreignKeysDescribedBySchema, the quoted-// case does not occur in the current schema. The mapping case you describe would produce a guard failure, not silently pass.

These were hypothetical hardening suggestions, not demonstrated defects in this PR. No change is needed for either finding.

You are interacting with an AI system.

… migrations

A real `pnpm db:prepare-migration` run against a test database confirmed
that Prisma generates a drop for all six protected foreign keys, and that
the script strips them. It also showed two more drops:

- Location_description_trgm_idx and Location_address_trgm_idx were created
  by 20260617091901 but never declared in schema.prisma, so every generated
  migration would drop them. Declare both as Gin @@index, the same way as
  Location_name_trgm_idx and the other trigram indexes.
- stripProtectedDrops left the blank line after each removed block, so the
  file started with a run of empty lines. When it removes something it now
  folds those, and leaves a migration it did not change untouched.
