+-- migrate:up
+-- Drop chat_connections table. Connection state is now unified in
+-- agent_connections, which ChatInstanceManager reads/writes directly.
+-- Secret fields (botToken, signingSecret, etc.) live as `secret://`
+-- refs inside the row's `config` JSON and resolve at runtime through
+-- SecretStoreRegistry — backed by Postgres by default, pluggable to
+-- AWS Secrets Manager / Vault / k8s for ops who need it.
+
+-- Copy any existing chat_connections rows into agent_connections so a
+-- live deployment with provisioned chat bots doesn't lose them. Configs
+-- carrying the legacy `enc:v1:` ciphertext are handled at read time by
+-- decryptLegacyEncryptedConfig in postgres-stores.ts; refs pass through
+-- unchanged. ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING covers the case where rows have
+-- already been mirrored by an in-flight write through the manager.
+-- agent_connections.agent_id is NOT NULL, but chat_connections.template_agent_id
+-- was nullable. Skip orphaned rows (no parent agent) — they could not start
+-- in the current model anyway.
