Foundation Day — 23 Migrations, Full Schema Seed

focused

The single biggest schema seed of the project so far. Twenty-three migrations in one day — auth, visitors, AI providers, analytics settings, Bayesian spam tokens, categories, CI session storage, deleted emails, multi-account email (accounts, attachments, folders, messages, settings), pages, page views, posts, pricing plans, services, settings, spam filters, testimonials, visitor behaviour, visitor interests. All wired up with their models and controllers by end of day.

The AI providers table is the one that stood out to me. It is a small migration but it signals the direction: AI is going to live in the data model, not hardcoded into the application layer. That one decision will shape the architecture for months.

Also wired up the first hint of a Bayesian spam classifier — token tables. Probably over-engineering at day 8 but it felt right to plan for it now.

Lessons Learned

Getting the schema right at the start matters more than any feature. Changing table structures later costs disproportionately more time.
