Metadata

Commit message: feat(domain): align action model with spec
Branch: feature/m1-action-model

Background and Context

The feat(domain): align action model with spec branch updates the Action domain schema. During CI the same workflow alternates between failing immediately and running to completion without any code changes, indicating flakiness in the test stage rather than a deterministic regression.

Description

The CI workflow occasionally aborts within seconds of starting nox -s unit_tests, reporting that the Action schema is missing newly added columns. Subsequent retries a few minutes later succeed without any new commits, which shows the underlying tests are race-y rather than permanently broken.

Run History

Run #73 — failure on 2026-02-13 13:41 UTC. The workflow died ~16s after launch when unit tests attempted to access Action.description before migrations finished.
Run #76 — success on 2026-02-13 14:41 UTC. Same commit, full pipeline passed.
Run #77 — success on 2026-02-13 14:52 UTC. Immediate re-run remained green.

Suspected Cause

When the workflow starts, Alembic migrations rebuild the SQLite test database in a background step. On slower runners the migration completes after nox -s unit_tests has already launched, leaving pytest to run against an outdated schema and throwing sqlite3.OperationalError for missing Action columns. Once the migration artifacts exist, the same tests succeed. Serialising migration + test setup (or prebuilding the DB fixture) should eliminate the race.

Duplicate Check

Expected Behavior

The Action model tests should always run against a freshly migrated schema.
nox -s unit_tests should not abort before completing the suite.

Acceptance Criteria

Migrations (or schema fixture creation) complete before test sessions begin, preventing sqlite3.OperationalError on Action columns.
At least 10 consecutive CI runs for this branch (or an equivalent reproducer) finish without the early schema failure.
Workflow documentation (README or contributing guide) notes the ordering guarantee so future suites do not regress.
Coverage remains ≥ 97%.

Subtasks

Reproduce the race locally by forcing a slow migration and capturing the failing log.
Adjust the workflow or test harness to block until migrations finish before running pytest/behave.
Add a regression test (or CI assertion) that fails if the schema is missing required columns.
Monitor CI runs for at least 10 green executions in a row.

Definition of Done

The Action model tests no longer fail intermittently due to missing columns.
The workflow order guarantees migrations complete before tests launch.
Mitigation is documented for future schema changes.
CI historics show stability over at least 10 consecutive runs.
