skill(prisma-8): CI is one db migrate command, not a migration status gate - #30382

Conversation
… gate
migration-review.md told agents that the CI gate is `migration status
--to <env> --db --json` plus a script that parses its output and fails
the build. That is wrong twice over. `db migrate` already refuses a
database whose marker is not a node in the on-disk graph
(`MIGRATION.MARKER_MISMATCH`) before it runs anything, every operation
evaluates its own precheck, and a successful run writes the new marker,
so the deploy job is `prisma db migrate --to <ref> --db $URL` and
nothing else. And the script parsed the wrong shape: `migration status
--json` prints `{"kind":"result","envelope":{...}}`, so its
`s.diagnostics ?? []` was always empty and the gate never fired.

Qualify the precheck safety guarantee.
createTable uses an absence precheck but a postcheck that only tests table existence. If an incompatible table already exists, the postcheck succeeds and the runner skips the precheck before advancing the destination marker. The guidance must not present prechecks as an unconditional CI safety gate.
Suggested fix
-`db migrate` is safe to run unattended, by design. Before any operation runs it reads the live marker and refuses with `MIGRATION.MARKER_MISMATCH` if that hash is not a node in the on-disk graph, which is what a database changed outside the migration system looks like. Each operation then evaluates its own `precheck[]` and stops if the database is not in the state the operation expects. A successful run writes the destination hash as the new marker.

The problem
skills/prisma-8/references/migration-review.mdtold agents that the CI gate for a deploy ismigration status --to <env> --db $URL --jsonfollowed by anode -escript that reads the output and fails the build. That sends agents and readers off to write parsing code in the one place where Prisma ORM 8 was designed to need none.What is true
db migrateis safe to run unattended. Before any operation runs, it reads the live marker and refuses withMIGRATION.MARKER_MISMATCHif that hash is not a node in the on-disk graph. Each operation then evaluates its ownprecheck[]and stops if the database is not in the state it expects. A successful run writes the destination hash as the new marker. So the whole deploy job is:Verified against a local PostgreSQL 15 with
prisma8.0.0-rc.15: a database whose marker was outside the on-disk history madedb migrate --to stagingfail withMIGRATION.MARKER_MISMATCHbefore running anything, with and without--to.The script was also broken
migration status --jsonprints one line,{"kind":"result","envelope":{"result":{...},"diagnostics":[...]}}. The script didJSON.parse(status.json).diagnostics ?? [], which is always empty, so the gate it described never fired.What changed
db migrateneeds no check in front of it, and positionsmigration status,db migrate --show, andmigration logas what a human or agent reads, not a gate.diagnostics" sentence under Diagnostic codes says the opposite: a report, not a gate.debug.md's row for thewarndiagnostics no longer says "CI gates parse--json".The same wrong recipe reached prisma/web#8310 through this file; that PR is being corrected separately.
