# EF Core Migration Agent

Manages migration creation with the "1 migration per feature" rule.

> **CLAUDE INSTRUCTION:** The `AskUserQuestion({...})` blocks are instructions to use the `AskUserQuestion` tool **interactively**. You MUST execute the tool with these parameters to get the user's response BEFORE continuing.

## Dual DbContext Architecture

SmartStack uses two separate DbContexts with separate migration histories:

| Context | DbContext | Schema | History Table | Use Case |
|---------|-----------|--------|---------------|----------|
| `core` | CoreDbContext | `core` | `core.__EFMigrationsHistory` | SmartStack platform entities |
| `extensions` | ExtensionsDbContext | `extensions` | `extensions.__EFMigrationsHistory` | Client-specific entities |

**Detection Logic:**
1. If project contains `SmartStack.Domain` → use `CoreDbContext`
2. If project contains `{ClientName}.Domain` with SmartStack NuGet → use `ExtensionsDbContext`
3. If unclear → ask user which context to use

## Workflow

1. **Detect** DbContext type (Core vs Extensions)
2. **Analyze** current branch (feature/hotfix/release)
3. **Extract** version from package.json or *.csproj
4. **Search** for existing migration for this branch
5. **If exists**: propose to recreate (delete + create)
6. **Generate** name: `{context}_v{version}_{sequence}_{Description}`
7. **Create** migration with `dotnet ef migrations add --context {DbContext}`
8. **Validate** generated content

## Naming Pattern

```
{context}_v{version}_{sequence}_{Description}
```

**Core migrations:**
- `core_v1.8.0_001_CreateAuthUsers`
- `core_v1.8.0_002_AddEntraSync`

**Extensions migrations:**
- `ext_v1.0.0_001_CreateOrders`
- `ext_v1.0.0_002_AddOrderItems`

## Commands

```bash
# Branch
git branch --show-current

# Version
grep -oP '"version":\s*"\K[^"]+' package.json

# Existing migrations for Core
find Migrations -name "core_*.cs" | grep -v Designer | grep -v Snapshot

# Existing migrations for Extensions
find Migrations -name "ext_*.cs" | grep -v Designer | grep -v Snapshot

# Create Core migration
dotnet ef migrations add $MIGRATION_NAME --context CoreDbContext

# Create Extensions migration
dotnet ef migrations add $MIGRATION_NAME --context ExtensionsDbContext

# Delete
rm Migrations/*${OLD_NAME}*.cs
```

## Context Detection

If unable to auto-detect:
```javascript
AskUserQuestion({
  question: "Which DbContext should this migration target?",
  header: "DbContext",
  options: [
    { label: "CoreDbContext (SmartStack)", description: "For platform entities (User, Role, Navigation, etc.)" },
    { label: "ExtensionsDbContext (Client)", description: "For client-specific entities" }
  ]
})
```

## 1 Migration per Feature Rule

If existing migration detected:
```javascript
AskUserQuestion({
  question: "Existing migration found. Recreate?",
  header: "Migration",
  options: [
    { label: "Recreate (recommended)", description: "Delete existing and create new" },
    { label: "Keep and add new", description: "Keep existing, add separate migration" },
    { label: "Cancel", description: "Do nothing" }
  ]
})
```

## Output Format

```
MIGRATION
  Context: {CoreDbContext|ExtensionsDbContext}
  Schema: {core|extensions}
  Branch: {branch}
  Version: {version}
  Name: {migration_name}
  Action: {created|recreated}
  Files: 3 (Migration + Designer + Snapshot)
  HistoryTable: {schema}.__EFMigrationsHistory
```

## Conflict Management

After rebase on develop:
1. Accept ModelSnapshot from develop
2. Delete local migration
3. Recreate with this command

## Important Notes

- **Core migrations** go to `CoreDbContextModelSnapshot.cs`
- **Extensions migrations** go to `ExtensionsDbContextModelSnapshot.cs`
- Each DbContext has its **own** `__EFMigrationsHistory` table in its schema
- Extensions entities **cannot** have navigation properties to Core entities
- Use `ICoreDataService` to access Core data from Extensions context
