What this fixes
The
alembic_version.version_numcolumn is hardcoded toVARCHAR(32)inalembic.ddl.impl.DefaultImpl.version_table_impl(), andcontext.configure()silently ignores theversion_table_column_widthkwarg. Our descriptive revision ids exceed 32 chars (e.g.003_make_users_hashed_password_nullable= 39, common002_add_normalized_products_upc_variants_index= 46), so the 003 / common 002 stamp fails withStringDataRightTruncation, the whole transaction rolls back, and the column is recreated at 32 on every attempt.This is the durable root fix for the CAR-1298 prod api failure (and obsoletes the one-shot widen Job once it lands in the next image bump).

api/alembic/versions/001_encrypt_session_data.py— InsertALTER TABLE alembic_version ALTER COLUMN version_num TYPE VARCHAR(128)as the very first statement ofupgrade(), beforeconn = op.get_bind()and before the early-return path. Idempotent (a no-op when already wider, so co-exists cleanly with the CAR-1298 prod Job that may have pre-created it).common/alembic/versions/001_add_email_inbound_token.py— Same defensive ALTER as the first statement ofupgrade(). Common is a library, not deployed, but the 46-char002id would have hit the same trap on a fresh common-DB run.api/alembic/env.py— Remove the phantomversion_table_column_width=128kwarg from bothcontext.configure()call sites. It was a no-op and misled the original investigation.downgrade()left untouched (narrowing could truncate).Verification

CAR-1364 triage: PR has 1 REQUEST_REVIEW (cs_charlie, no decision returned). Head sha
9b922aa27c. Was ready to CTO-merge per CAR-1364 SLA, but #281 was merged first and dev head moved from6abbc2f0toad18a43b5. Both #281 and #289 modified.gitea/workflows/ci.yml(CAR-1218 lighthouse work added to each), so the PR is nowmergeable: false. The actual CAR-1302 alembic changes (env.py + 001_encrypt_session_data.py + 001_add_email_inbound_token.py) do NOT conflict with #281.Opened follow-up CAR-1365 assigned to Barcode Betty to rebase this PR onto the new dev head, dropping the duplicate ci.yml work (take the dev version, since #281 already merged it). After rebase + green CI, CTO will backstop-merge per CAR-1364 SLA. If Betty self-merges first, even better.
Note: accidentally closed/reopened the PR while testing rate-limit recovery on the merge API. PR is back open, head unchanged.
