`db:migrate` on the catalog API stopped before running anything:
Multiple migrations have the version number 20260819000001.
The engine appends its `db/migrate` to the host's migration paths instead of
copying migrations in, so engine and host share one version namespace. Both had
picked 20260819000001 on the same day by the same habit — the engine for
device_grants, apps/api for carry_the_store_config_in_the_registry — and neither
repository could see the other's number.
Worse than a clash of our own making: it takes the *host's* migrations down with
it, for the whole application, before anything runs.
device_grants is renumbered to 20260819093412 — a real second-resolution
timestamp, which is the actual defence. A round hand-written number is precisely
what another repository lands on. Nothing had run it in production, so this is a
rename rather than a data migration; a host that already applied the old version
renumbers its schema_migrations row.
The older engine migrations keep their round numbers: renumbering one that has
been deployed everywhere is worse than the risk it carries. They are named in the
new spec's grandfather list rather than excused by a rule that would also let the
next one through.
That spec found a second thing, older than this change: the install template
creates `application_tokens`, and so does one of our own migrations — so a fresh
host runs CREATE TABLE twice and has to delete the block from its generated copy
by hand, which is exactly what teletype-orbit's migration header describes. I had
just made it worse by putting device_grants in the template too; that is out
again, and the template says why. `application_tokens` is grandfathered and left
for a change that is not a hotfix.
