Standardise entity ID column sizing - #294
Conversation
Keep CUID as the default ID algorithm and add explicit @db.NVarChar lengths so keyed String columns no longer default to NVARCHAR(1000). Document the convention in ADR 0005, strip native types for SQLite previews, and ship a forward migration to resize existing Azure SQL columns. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change documents the CUID entity ID strategy, applies explicit SQL Server string lengths across Prisma models, adds preflight checks and a transactional column-sizing migration, and updates SQLite preview generation to remove native database attributes. ChangesEntity ID sizing and preview compatibility
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The migration narrows SQL Server identifier columns, but deployment can currently fail when dependent key constraints are present, and over-length values in many columns may not be reported before migration. These issues can block database rollout, so the PR is not ready to merge until the migration and validation checks are corrected. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** The migration aborts and rolls back when any existing value in a resized column exceeds its new `NVARCHAR(n)` limit; SQL Server cannot narrow the column while preserving an over-length value, so deployment remains blocked until the offending data is remediated.
**Triggers:** When a deployed database contains legacy IDs, emails, names, tokens, or other values longer than the documented limits.
**Suggested fix:** Add a preflight query/report for over-length values and either remediate them before deployment or split the migration so data cleanup and column narrowing are explicit, controlled steps.
</issue_to_address>Sourcery assessment
Needs a human reviewer. 1 finding to address first, and the migration narrows many persisted SQL Server columns, so an existing value over a documented limit can make deployment fail, and a missed length assumption can reject future writes across several tables. Reverting the schema and migration restores the previous widths, and the transactional migration does not itself delete or irreversibly transform data.

- Line 5: Update the migration around the dbo.users.id alteration to drop
users_pkey and all foreign keys referencing the affected columns before changing
their types, then recreate those foreign keys, the users_pkey constraint, and
associated indexes afterward with the existing definitions preserved.

- Around line 7-9: The requested change concerns PR metadata rather than the
Prisma schema: add a plain, visible “Preview scenarios:” line to the PR body
describing the SQLite ephemeral PR preview and local scenario testing.
