amal66 lays the groundwork for safer database upgrades

The fork begins turning its database setup into a managed upgrade history, a meaningful step for teams running the product beyond a one-off local install.

amal66 has introduced a formal migration record for Supabase, the hosted database platform used to store application data. Instead of treating the database structure as a static snapshot, future changes can be tracked and applied in sequence.

The follow-up also ties user records to UUID-based identifiers, strengthening the relationship between users and their data. That is useful housekeeping for a deployed legal product, where identity consistency matters as usage grows.

There is an important caveat: this is groundwork, not a proven upgrade route for existing installations. Teams with a live database would want to test the transition carefully before applying the new baseline.

So what Legal-tech teams considering a maintained deployment should watch this fork if they need database changes to become more predictable, but should verify the migration path before relying on it.

SHA	Subject	Author	Date
`c72b8c74`	feat(chapter-03): add Supabase migrations as database history	Amal	2026-05-24	↗ GitHub
commit body Chapter: 03 - Database evolution. Plain-English map: Introduce Supabase CLI configuration and timestamped migrations so database changes can be reviewed, applied, and repeated over time. Why it matters: A single schema file shows what the database looks like today, but not how it got there. Migrations tell future maintainers when and why the shape changed. Principle: Schema changes should be versioned like application code. Existing deployments need an incremental path instead of a one-shot reset. Precedent borrowed: The fork report's Docker/local-development cluster, Supabase practice, and upstream PR #113's database-integrity work. Upstream base: willchen96/mike@d39f580. Original local commit: bc72e34.
`5b82eff9`	fix(chapter-30): convert user IDs to UUID foreign keys	Amal	2026-05-24	↗ GitHub
commit body Chapter: 30 - Database identity integrity. Plain-English map: Convert nine `user_id` columns from text to UUID and attach them to Supabase Auth users with foreign keys. Why it matters: Supabase user IDs are UUIDs. Storing them as plain text allows invalid values and orphaned rows that the database cannot protect against. Principle: Let the database enforce identity shape and relationships. Precedent borrowed: Upstream PR #113. Upstream base: willchen96/mike@d39f580. Original local commit: 5c28df3.
