Steps 1 and 3 of docs/calendar-auth-migration.md. The calendar is the last
module still authenticating against its own users/sessions tables; this is
the groundwork that lets step 4 swap it for the shared admin identity.
An event now records its creator twice: created_by_id, the legacy INT into
the calendar database's own users table, and created_by_user_id, the admin
module's VARCHAR(36) id. The two live in different databases, so there is no
foreign key and no join - a cross-schema reference would tie the schemas'
lifecycles together, and the name is instead resolved through one lookup per
result set against the admin database.
The creator is only ever rendered as a name; nothing authorises on it. That
is what makes the planned account backfill unnecessary - dropped by decision -
and what makes the read degrade rather than fail: an admin id that no longer
resolves falls back, and an unreachable admin database costs a name rather
than the response. The public calendar is read anonymously by nachklang.art
and has never depended on the admin database being up.
Since there is no backfill, step 5 dropping the legacy users table would have
erased the authorship of every pre-cutover event. Migration 002 brings that
part of step 5 forward and snapshots the names onto the events themselves, so
the data is safe well before the table holding it goes away.
The same SELECT and row mapper existed in four copies; collapsed to one of
each first, so the dual read is written once rather than four times.
