+-- v1.16.16 — at most one active consent receipt per (user, kind).
+--
+-- The web-grant heal mint reads `latestActiveReceipt` then `createReceipt`
+-- non-atomically. Two concurrent web mounts could each see "no active
+-- receipt" and both insert an active `ai_full` row, leaving duplicate
+-- active grants the revoke path then has to chase one at a time.
+--
+-- The application wraps the mint in a transaction with a re-check, but the
+-- structural guarantee lives here: a partial unique index over
+-- (user_id, kind) restricted to non-revoked rows. Revoked rows carry a
+-- non-NULL `revoked_at` and fall outside the predicate, so the append-only
+-- grant/revoke history is unaffected — only two *active* rows for the same
+-- (user, kind) collide.
+
+-- Pre-flight dedup. The bug this migration closes already produces duplicate
+-- active rows on affected tenants; `CREATE UNIQUE INDEX` scans existing rows
+-- and would abort (23505) on any such pair, failing the whole deploy on
+-- exactly the tenants the fix targets. Revoke all-but-the-newest active row
+-- per (user_id, kind) first so the index can build. The newest active row
+-- (latest `created_at`) is the one `latestActiveReceipt` already returns, so
+-- the surviving active grant matches current read behaviour; the superseded
+-- duplicates get a `revoked_at` marker and stay in the audit history.
