+-- Migration: 0035_add_short_to_coat_type_enum.sql
+-- GRO-1953: Adds missing "short" value to the coat_type enum so that seed data
+-- (which uses coatTypePool including "short") can be inserted without error.
+--
+-- The seed file defines coatTypePool as:
+--   ["short", "medium", "long", "double", "wire", "silky", "curly", "hairless"]
+-- but migration 0031 created the enum without "short", causing:
+--   PostgresError: invalid input value for enum coat_type: "short"
+
+BEGIN;
+
+ALTER TYPE "coat_type" ADD VALUE IF NOT EXISTS 'short';
