Database Schema Reference

This document describes the spec-aligned database tables created by the A5.alpha migrations (a5_003_spec_aligned_actions and a5_004_spec_aligned_plans).

These tables replace the legacy actions_v3 and lifecycle_plans tables with a normalized schema using namespaced names as action identity and child tables for arguments, invariants, and project links.

Migration Chain

Revision	Description
a5_003_spec_aligned_actions	Drops lifecycle_plans and actions_v3; creates actions, action_invariants, action_arguments
a5_004_spec_aligned_plans	Creates v3_plans, plan_projects, plan_arguments, plan_invariants
