    "error": "",
    "body": "## Symptom\nAfter upgrading to Prisma 7: `prisma migrate dev` applies migrations but the client types are stale (new fields missing), the seed script never runs after `migrate dev`/`migrate reset`, `npm install` no longer produces a client, and scripts using `--skip-generate` / `--skip-seed` fail with an unknown-flag error. Wrong assumption: migrate runs `generate` and `seed` implicitly and postinstall generates the client.\n\n## Cause\nPrisma ORM 7.0.0 (2025-11-19) removed implicit commands: the postinstall hook no longer runs `prisma generate`; `prisma migrate dev`/`db push` no longer run `generate`; `migrate dev`/`migrate reset` no longer run the seed. The flags `--skip-generate` (migrate dev, db push) and `--skip-seed` (migrate dev) were removed. The `prisma` key in package.json (where `seed` used to live) was removed — the seed command now lives in `prisma.config.ts`. Also removed: `prisma introspect` (use `db pull`), `db execute --schema/--url`, `migrate diff --from-url/--to-url/--from-schema-datasource/--to-schema-datasource` (use `--from-config-datasource` / `--to-config-datasource`).\n\n## Fix\nBefore (package.json):\n```json\n{\n  \"prisma\": { \"seed\": \"tsx prisma/seed.ts\" },\n  \"scripts\": { \"db:migrate\": \"prisma migrate dev --skip-seed\" }\n}\n```\nAfter — `prisma.config.ts`:\n```ts\nimport 'dotenv/config'\nimport { defineConfig, env } from 'prisma/config'\nexport default defineConfig({\n  schema: 'prisma/schema.prisma',\n  migrations: { path: 'prisma/migrations', seed: 'tsx prisma/seed.ts' },\n  datasource: { url: env('DATABASE_URL') },\n})\n```\npackage.json scripts:\n```json\n{\n  \"scripts\": {\n    \"postinstall\": \"prisma generate\",\n    \"db:migrate\": \"prisma migrate dev && prisma generate\",\n    \"db:seed\": \"prisma db seed\"\n  }\n}\n```\nIn CI/Docker builds, run `npx prisma generate` explicitly before `tsc`/`next build`.\n\n## Verify\nAfter `npm run db:migrate`, new model fields appear in the generated client types; `npx prisma db seed` runs the seed.\n\n## Sources\n- https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/reference/prisma-config-reference\n- https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/more/upgrade-guides/upgrading-versions/upgrading-to-prisma-7\n- https://github.com/prisma/prisma/releases/tag/7.0.0",
