Retire the `drizzle-kit push` foot-gun and make `drizzle-kit generate` → `drizzle-kit migrate` the only documented schema workflow.
`drizzle-kit push` produces a FALSE destructive diff against the populated MariaDB (mysql dialect misreads MariaDB 11.8 metadata → schedules truncate/recreate). The generate+migrate workflow is already in practical use (migrations `0000`–`0004` are committed and applied), so this task is cleanup, not adoption: remove the dangling `db:push` script and repoint the two `drizzle-kit push` instructions in the deployment docs, adding an explicit warning so a future operator does not reintroduce push.
Purpose: Prevent accidental data loss; lock in the mandated MariaDB-safe migration workflow (see memory drizzle-mariadb-push-unsafe; STATE decision D-Task5-DDL).
Output: `apps/api/package.json` with `db:push` removed; `docs/deployment.md` Steps 3 and 6 repointed to migrate with an anti-push warning; verified that `drizzle-kit generate` emits no spurious destructive diff.

# Hard constraints (do NOT violate):
# - Do NOT renumber, delete, or regenerate any existing migration SQL file or snapshot in
# apps/api/src/db/migrations/ (including the orphan 0001_calendars_user_url_unique.sql).
# - Do NOT run `db:migrate` or `db:push` against the live/dev DB — it holds real data.
# - `drizzle-kit generate` is safe: it diffs schema.ts against the JSON snapshots in meta/,
# never the live DB. It needs no DB connection.
Task 1: Remove the db:push script from apps/api/package.json
apps/api/package.json
Delete the `"db:push": "drizzle-kit push"` line (currently line 13) from the `scripts` block. Leave `db:generate` and `db:migrate` untouched — they are the canonical workflow. Do not change any dependency versions. Ensure the resulting JSON is valid (no trailing comma where db:push was removed; db:generate becomes the entry following test:watch/typecheck).
cd /home/luc/Projects/familysync && node -e "const p=require('./apps/api/package.json'); if(p.scripts['db:push']) process.exit(1); if(!p.scripts['db:generate']||!p.scripts['db:migrate']) process.exit(2); console.log('ok: db:push removed, generate+migrate intact')"
apps/api/package.json parses as valid JSON; `scripts.db:push` is absent; `scripts.db:generate` and `scripts.db:migrate` are present and unchanged.
Task 2: Repoint deployment.md to generate+migrate and warn against push
docs/deployment.md
Two edits, plus an inline warning.
(1) Step 3 "Apply the database schema" (around lines 143-152): replace the `drizzle-kit push` command on line 150 with the migrate command. The body currently reads "Bring up MariaDB and push the Drizzle schema once" — rewrite to apply committed migrations instead. The new command, preserving the existing host-side env prefix, is: `pnpm --filter @familysync/api exec drizzle-kit migrate`. Add one sentence noting that schema CHANGES are authored with `pnpm --filter @familysync/api run db:generate` (diffs schema.ts against committed snapshots, never the live DB) and committed as SQL, then applied with `db:migrate`. Keep the existing `# verify: SHOW TABLES;` line.
(2) Step 6 line 206: change "then `drizzle-kit push` once (Step 3) against the prod DB" to "then `drizzle-kit migrate` once (Step 3) against the prod DB".
(3) Add a short warning callout near Step 3 stating: do NOT use `drizzle-kit push` on this MariaDB — the mysql dialect misreads MariaDB metadata and schedules a false truncate/recreate that wipes data; always use the committed-migration path (`db:generate` to author, `db:migrate` to apply). This addresses the root-cause foot-gun so the script is not reintroduced. Do NOT alter the line "The image does not auto-migrate." — programmatic migrate-on-boot is out of scope.
cd /home/luc/Projects/familysync && grep -q 'drizzle-kit migrate' docs/deployment.md && grep -q 'db:generate' docs/deployment.md && ! grep -Eq 'drizzle-kit push|db:push' docs/deployment.md && grep -iEq 'do not.*push|never.*push|not use .*push' docs/deployment.md && echo 'ok: migrate path + warning present, no push references remain'
docs/deployment.md contains no `drizzle-kit push` / `db:push` reference; both Step 3 and Step 6 reference `drizzle-kit migrate`; an explicit warning against using push on MariaDB is present with the data-loss rationale; the "image does not auto-migrate" sentence is unchanged.
Task 3: Dry-verify generate produces no spurious destructive diff
apps/api/src/db/migrations/
Run `pnpm --filter @familysync/api exec drizzle-kit generate` from the repo root. This is a DRY check: generate diffs schema.ts against the committed JSON snapshots (latest is meta/0004_snapshot.json), never the live DB, so it is safe and needs no DB connection. Expected outcome against the current synced schema: "No schema changes, nothing to migrate" and NO new SQL file written. If generate DOES emit a new throwaway migration file (e.g. a fresh NNNN_*.sql plus its snapshot), inspect it: it must contain only additive DDL (CREATE TABLE / ADD COLUMN / CREATE INDEX) and NEVER `truncate`/`DROP TABLE`/`DROP COLUMN`. Whether empty or additive, this generated file is a throwaway for the dry check — delete the newly created SQL file (and its newly created snapshot in meta/, if one was added) so migration history is left exactly as found. Do NOT commit any file this step produces. Do NOT renumber or touch the pre-existing 0000–0004 files or their snapshots. Do NOT run db:migrate.
cd /home/luc/Projects/familysync && before=$(ls apps/api/src/db/migrations/*.sql | wc -l) && out=$(pnpm --filter @familysync/api exec drizzle-kit generate 2>&1) && echo "$out" && echo "$out" | grep -iqE 'truncate|drop table|drop column' && { echo 'FAIL: destructive diff detected'; exit 1; }; after=$(ls apps/api/src/db/migrations/*.sql | wc -l); if [ "$after" -gt "$before" ]; then newfile=$(ls -t apps/api/src/db/migrations/*.sql | head -1); echo "throwaway generated: $newfile — removing"; rm -f "$newfile"; newsnap=$(ls -t apps/api/src/db/migrations/meta/*_snapshot.json | head -1); fi; git -C /home/luc/Projects/familysync status --porcelain apps/api/src/db/migrations/ | grep -q . && { echo 'FAIL: migration dir left dirty'; git -C /home/luc/Projects/familysync checkout -- apps/api/src/db/migrations/; exit 1; }; echo 'ok: no destructive diff; migration history unchanged'
`drizzle-kit generate` ran and produced no truncate/drop DDL; any throwaway output was removed; `git status` on apps/api/src/db/migrations/ is clean (history identical to pre-task state). The live DB was never contacted.
- `git diff` touches only apps/api/package.json and docs/deployment.md.
- No file under apps/api/src/db/migrations/ is added, deleted, renumbered, or modified.
- `grep -rn "db:push\|drizzle-kit push" apps/api/package.json docs/` returns nothing.
- `pnpm --filter @familysync/api run db:generate` and `db:migrate` remain the documented path.
- `db:push` script removed from apps/api/package.json; JSON valid; generate+migrate scripts intact.
- docs/deployment.md Steps 3 and 6 apply schema via `drizzle-kit migrate`; an explicit anti-push warning with data-loss rationale is present; no remaining push references.
- Dry `drizzle-kit generate` confirmed to emit no spurious destructive diff, with migration history left byte-identical and the live DB never touched.
