Two defects the Phase 9 acceptance walk found on a real rig, one of them ours and
one of them released (docs/link/v8.md §17.14).
## "The shard is not answering for client files" about a shard that was fine
The status call exhausts its 425 backoff whenever something else holds the
shard's single asset slot -- an import the operator started, or the item-art warm
pass refilling itself after a client patch. Phase 8's panel rendered that with
the same banner as a shard that is down or has the plane switched off, and left
it standing, because the page only re-reads after an action. On the rig it was up
for a quarter of an hour while the warm pass refilled 313 pictures and every
direct call to the same route answered normally.
BUSY now says what it is, and one automatic re-read four seconds later clears the
ordinary case. One per mount, guarded by a ref: a page that retried forever would
be holding the slot it is waiting for. DOWN, DISABLED and NO_IMAGING read exactly
as they did.
## Every spawn-atlas import on an upgraded install has failed since v1.2.0
`shard_spawn_points.unique_id` (Events Phase 12b) was added to the CREATE TABLE
and nowhere else. `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` does not add a column to a table
that already exists -- which is what the twenty-odd `ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS`
lines in this same file are for -- so it reached fresh installs and no existing
one, and `replaceAtlas` inserts the column unconditionally:
Unknown column 'unique_id' in 'INSERT INTO'
No bestiary refresh, no spawn map, no champion altars, on every install whose
tables predate 12b. A fresh install cannot reproduce it and neither can a test
whose schema is this file applied to an empty database; it took a rig with old
tables. Org lead, weighing that it is already released: it ships here on edge
rather than as a hotfix to main.
Verified by dropping the column, rebooting, watching the replay put it back, and
importing 6,455 spawners over the bridge.
