    "error": "",
    "body": "## Symptom\nAfter upgrading drizzle-kit/drizzle-orm to the 1.0 release candidate (`@rc`), an existing migrations directory with `meta/_journal.json` and flat `0000_xxx.sql` files no longer matches what the CLI/migrator expects; `drizzle-kit drop` is gone; `push`/`pull` suddenly touch schemas other than `public`; `push --strict` is rejected. Wrong assumption: the 0.x migrations layout and CLI flags carry over.\n\n## Cause\nDrizzle 1.0 (rc.1 published 2026-04-30; npm `latest` still 0.45.x as of 2026-10) introduced migration folder structure v3: `journal.json` removed, each migration's SQL and snapshot grouped in its own folder, snapshots are DDL-based, migrations are matched by full folder name (not timestamp), and the migrator applies every missing migration rather than only newer ones. `drizzle-kit drop` and `push --strict` were removed (confirmation before data loss is now the default; `--force` skips it). `schemaFilter` now defaults to all schemas and supports globs.\n\n## Fix\n```bash\nnpm i drizzle-orm@rc\nnpm i -D drizzle-kit@rc\nnpx drizzle-kit up        # converts the old migrations folder to v3\n```\n`drizzle-kit up` also adds `name` (text) and `applied_at` (timestamptz) columns to the migrations table; existing rows get `applied_at = NULL`. To keep push/pull limited to specific schemas:\n```ts\nexport default defineConfig({\n  dialect: 'postgresql',\n  schema: './src/db/schema.ts',\n  schemaFilter: ['public', 'app_*'],\n})\n```\nPreview push SQL with `npx drizzle-kit push --explain`. Commit the converted folder in one change so every branch/environment upgrades together.\n\n## Verify\nNo `meta/_journal.json` remains; `npx drizzle-kit generate` produces a new per-migration folder; `npx drizzle-kit migrate` on a copy of prod applies nothing unexpected.\n\n## Sources\n- https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/upgrade-v1\n- https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/v0-v1-changes\n- https://registry.npmjs.org/drizzle-orm",
