+-- Move a Coach conversation's updated_at back to its newest message.
+--
+-- The free-text encryption backfill (v1.39.3) and the memory-summary refresh
+-- rewrote conversation rows through a Prisma update, which stamped updated_at
+-- with the run time. The Coach panel orders and groups by that column, so
+-- conversations nobody had touched in months showed up under "Today".
+--
+-- A turn stamps updated_at in the same transaction that creates its message,
+-- so the newest message's created_at is the conversation's real last
+-- activity. Only rows more than a minute later than that move back; a rename
+-- or a document attached shortly after the last turn keeps its stamp, and a
+-- conversation without messages is left alone. Running it again changes
+-- nothing: a repaired row is no longer later than its newest message.
+--
+-- One set-based statement. The per-conversation maximum is read from
+-- "coach_messages_conversation_id_created_at_idx" (conversation_id,
+-- created_at), so it does not sort the message table.
