+ * Recovery for a migration-version collision introduced by merging
+ * origin/main into the long-lived deployment branch.
+ *
+ * The deployment DB recorded schema version 15 as `reviewer_failure_count`
+ * (a downstream-only migration), while upstream defines version 15 as
+ * `turn_progress_text` (migration 015). Because the migration runner tracks
+ * applied migrations by version number alone, the upstream `turn_progress_text`
+ * migration is skipped on the live DB and `paired_turns.progress_text` /
+ * `progress_updated_at` are never created — even though merged runtime code
+ * (src/db/paired-turns.ts, src/web-dashboard-data.ts) reads and writes them.
+ *
+ * This migration re-applies those columns idempotently under a fresh version
+ * number so the live deployment gets them. It is a no-op on databases where
+ * migration 015 already ran (fresh installs), thanks to the column guards.
