Eh, DB branching is mostly only necessary for testing - locally, in CI or quick rollbacks on a shared dev instance.

Or at least I cannot come up with a usecase for prod.

From that perspective, it feels like it'd be a perfect usecase to embrace the LLM guided development jank

Mostly..

App migrations that may fail and need a rollback have the problem that you may not be allowed to wipe any transactions so you may want to be putting data to a parallel world that didn't migrate.

For local DB's, when I break them, I stop the Docker image and wipe the volume mounts, then restart + apply the "migrations" folder (minus whatever new broken migration caused the issue).
