Retires the "integer AI PK for join performance" exception documented in earlier migrations and SCHEMA.md §3.5.11 Rule 1. Every business and pivot table now uses ULID primary keys, per /dev-docs/ARCH-CONSOLIDATION-ADDENDUM-2026-04-24.md Q1. Tables migrated (WS-1 A-01 through A-11): - Pure pivots: organisation_user, event_user_roles, crowd_list_persons, event_person_activations - Model-backed: user_organisation_tags, person_section_preferences, mfa_backup_codes, mfa_email_codes, form_submission_section_statuses, form_values, form_value_options Migration pattern: one new migration per table (plus one combined for the form_values / form_value_options FK pair), timestamped today, dropping + recreating with the new ULID PK. Pre-launch — no backfill required. Original migrations remain in place; the new migrations apply in timestamp order for a clean schema history. Pivot model correction (addendum drift): The addendum's "no model required for pure pivots" reading did not account for Laravel's BelongsToMany::attach() — it cannot auto-generate a pivot ULID without a Pivot subclass. Minimal Pivot classes under app/Models/Pivots/ (OrganisationUser, EventUserRole, CrowdListPerson, EventPersonActivation) carry HasUlids so attach() works. The six belongsToMany relations (User.organisations / .events, Organisation.users, Event.users, CrowdList.persons, Person.crowdLists) now ->using(...) the appropriate Pivot class. DB::table()->insert() on event_person_activations in DevSeeder populates the ULID inline via Str::ulid(). FormValueObserver uses bulk FormValueOption::insert() which bypasses model events — ULIDs are now generated inline there too. Docs: - SCHEMA.md §3.5.11 Rule 1 rewritten to mandate ULID on pivots too, with legacy note citing the addendum. - All eleven table entries updated from "int AI PK" to "ULID PK" with addendum Q1 references. - form_values and form_submission_section_statuses prose blocks updated to drop the retired ARCH §4.4 / "high-volume pivot" rationale. - form_value_options.form_value_id column type corrected from "int FK" to "ULID FK". Tests: tests/Feature/Schema/UlidPrimaryKeyTest.php covers HasUlids trait presence, ULID shape + 26-char Crockford pattern, Route::bind resolution, distinct + sortable pivot ULIDs, attach() auto-generation on pure pivots, and the A-10/A-11 FK chain. 10 tests / 28 new assertions. Full suite: 977 passed (2662 assertions). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
About Laravel
Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel takes the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in many web projects, such as:
- Simple, fast routing engine.
- Powerful dependency injection container.
- Multiple back-ends for session and cache storage.
- Expressive, intuitive database ORM.
- Database agnostic schema migrations.
- Robust background job processing.
- Real-time event broadcasting.
Laravel is accessible, powerful, and provides tools required for large, robust applications.
