Generate Alembic Migration: $ARGUMENTS

Current state

Current revision: !cd /Users/level09/projects/stk && uv run quart db current 2>&1 | tail -5

Recent migrations: !ls -1t alembic/versions/*.py 2>/dev/null | head -10

Models with tables: !grep -rn "__tablename__" stk/*/models.py 2>/dev/null

Steps

1. Generate the migration:

   uv run quart db revision -m "$ARGUMENTS"
   

2. Review the generated file in alembic/versions/. Check:

   • All expected table/column changes are present
   • Foreign keys reference correct tables and use correct column types
   • Indexes are created where needed (especially on foreign keys and unique constraints)
   • downgrade() correctly reverses upgrade()
   • No destructive changes that would lose data (if so, warn the user)
   • Column types match the model definitions (String lengths, nullable flags, defaults)

3. For SQLite compatibility, verify batch mode is used. The env.py enables render_as_batch automatically for SQLite, but if writing manual SQL, wrap ALTER TABLE operations in with op.batch_alter_table().

4. If the migration needs manual edits (data migrations, complex constraints, multi-step operations):

   • Edit the generated file directly
   • Use op.execute() for raw SQL when needed
   • Add data migration steps between schema changes

5. Test the migration:

   uv run quart db upgrade    # apply
   uv run quart db downgrade -1  # rollback
   uv run quart db upgrade    # re-apply to confirm idempotency
   

6. Run checks:

   uv run python checks.py
   

Model conventions to verify against

Models use @dataclasses.dataclass and inherit from Base (stk.extensions). Key patterns:

• id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
• created_at = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.now, nullable=False)
• Foreign keys: Column(Integer, ForeignKey("table.id")) or Column(String(64), ForeignKey("table.field", ondelete="CASCADE"))
• JSON fields: Column(JSON, nullable=True)
• Unique constraints: either unique=True on column or UniqueConstraint(...) in __table_args__

Common patterns

Add a column:

op.add_column("users", sa.Column("bio", sa.Text(), nullable=True))

Add an index:

op.create_index("ix_products_name", "products", ["name"])

Data migration (backfill):

from alembic import op
from sqlalchemy import text

def upgrade():
    op.add_column("users", sa.Column("display_name", sa.String(255)))
    op.execute(text("UPDATE users SET display_name = name WHERE display_name IS NULL"))

Rename with SQLite (batch mode):

with op.batch_alter_table("users") as batch_op:
    batch_op.alter_column("old_name", new_column_name="new_name")

Add a composite unique constraint:

op.create_unique_constraint("uq_oauth_provider_user", "oauth", ["provider", "provider_user_id"])
