0440 adds its columns with ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS like 0424 and
0432; a structural test holds every migration from 0422 on to that
form. 0430 clears insights_cached_at where no sealed payload is left,
so the nightly pregenerate refills an account whose only copy was the
readable column instead of keeping an empty card fresh.
The deploy runbook notes that 0430 drops a users column: an old process
fails on its next full user read, so stop before starting rather than
running old and new side by side.
Every write has gone to insights_cached_text_encrypted since 0411, and
the boot-time free-text backfill sealed the rows written before it.
Migration 0430 drops insights_cached_text and the backfill index that
served it. A host that skipped the intervening releases loses only a
cache of model output; the next warm writes a fresh, sealed payload.
The cipher module now reads and writes the sealed column only, the
backfill job loses its insights step, and consent withdrawal, the wipe
plan, the backup plan and the session projection follow the schema.
Backups never carried the column, and restore ignores unknown account
settings; a round-trip test now proves an old backup naming the field
still restores cleanly. The access guard pins exact counts for where
the sealed name may appear. Fixtures, the demo seed and the demo
migration script seed the sealed column instead of plaintext.
