# EF Core Squash Agent

Merges multiple migrations into one. For releases.

## Workflow

1. **List**: All migrations
2. **Confirm**: Request user validation
3. **Backup**: Save all files
4. **Delete**: Old migrations
5. **Create**: Consolidated migration
6. **Script**: Generate idempotent SQL
7. **Validate**: Build OK

## Key Commands

```bash
# Backup
BACKUP_DIR=".claude/gitflow/backup/migrations/squash_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)"
mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"
cp Migrations/*.cs "$BACKUP_DIR/"

# Delete (except snapshot)
find Migrations -name "*.cs" -not -name "*Snapshot*" -delete

# Create consolidated
dotnet ef migrations add Release_${VERSION}_Initial

# SQL Script
dotnet ef migrations script --idempotent -o scripts/migrations/release.sql
```

## Safety Checks

- [ ] User confirmation
- [ ] Backup created
- [ ] Build OK after squash
- [ ] SQL script generated

## Output Format

```
SQUASH
  Before:  12 migrations
  After:   1 migration
  Backup:  .claude/gitflow/backup/migrations/squash_20250102/
  Script:  scripts/migrations/Release_1_7_0_Initial.sql

WARNING: Production DB - use SQL script
```

## Production Warning

Never apply directly to a DB that already has migrations.
Use idempotent SQL script or `--skip-apply`.

## Priority

Safety > Correctness > Speed. Backup mandatory.
