Implements complete migration workflow for Red ORM. Closes #15.

New: Red::Configuration

Manages migration paths, versions, model snapshots.

New CLI commands

  • red migration update --model=Foo --driver=SQLite — diff + apply to local DB + save snapshot
  • red migration prepare --model=Foo --driver=SQLite — generate up.sql + down.sql
  • red migration apply --driver=SQLite — execute pending SQL with tracking table
  • red migration downgrade --driver=SQLite — rollback via down.sql

Tests: t/78-migration.rakutest

12 test cases covering describe, diff, diff-to-ast, translate, paths, versioning.

…rade)

Adds complete migration system for Red ORM:

New module:
- Red::Configuration: manages migration paths, versions, model snapshots

New CLI commands (bin/red):
- migration update: diff model vs DB, apply to local DB, save snapshot
- migration prepare: generate SQL (up.sql + down.sql) from snapshots
- migration apply: execute pending SQL on target DB with tracking
- migration downgrade: rollback to previous version

Updated:
- Red::Cli: added migration-update, migration-prepare, migration-apply,
  migration-downgrade functions
- META6.json: added Red::Configuration to provides

Tests:
- t/78-migration.rakutest: 12 test cases covering describe, diff, diff-to-ast,
  translate, Configuration paths, store-model, ensure-dirs, and version management

Closes FCO#15

Code Review — Red migration workflow: update, prepare, apply, downgrade

Verdict: Approve (0 critical, 2 warnings, 3 suggestions)

Implements CLI migration commands via Red::Configuration and four new migration-* multi subs. 5 files, +608/−20 lines. Closes #15.


✅ Looks Good

  • lib/Red/Configuration.rakumod — Clean, focused configuration class with well-named path methods and minimal dependencies (only UUID)
  • META6.jsonRed::Configuration correctly added to provides
  • bin/red — Shebang fix (#!env perl6#!/usr/bin/env raku), $GLOBAL::RED-DBmy $*RED-DB for proper scoping
  • .perl().raku() in gen-stub — Correct Raku deprecation fix
  • t/78-migration.rakutest — 26 assertions across 12 test sections covering describe, diff, diff-to-ast, translate, paths, and versioning
  • Security scan — Clean (no secrets, debug statements, merge conflicts)
  • Syntax checkRed::Configuration passes raku -c

⚠️ Warnings

  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:277use MONKEY-SEE-NO-EVAL + EVAL $old-desc-str in migration-prepare deserializes .rakudata files via EVAL. Controlled input (generated by .raku), but if snapshot files are tampered with, this becomes arbitrary code execution. Consider using a structured serialization format (JSON::Fast) or adding an integrity check.

    # Safer alternative:
    use JSON::Fast;
    my $old-desc = from-json $snapshot-file.slurp;
  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:170–175 — Version tracking is not loaded from disk across commands. Each migration-update / migration-prepare / migration-downgrade creates a new Red::Configuration with current-version = 0. This means migration-prepare always computes $version = 0 + 1 = 1, and consecutive migration-update runs overwrite version 1. The migration-apply command correctly reads the current version from the DB tracking table, but the other commands should load from config.rakudata (or the DB tracking table) for consistency. This affects multi-step workflows.


💡 Suggestions

  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:293,320,335 — Driver dispatch uses given get-RED-DB.^name { when /SQLite/ ... when /Pg/ ... }. Regex matching on class names is fragile — a driver rename breaks all migration commands. Consider a method migration-tracking-table-sql on the driver interface, or a dispatch hash keyed by driver class.

  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:222–229migration-downgrade executes raw SQL from down.sql files. There's no safety check to verify the SQL file comes from a trusted source or matches expected operations. Consider wrapping in a transaction.

  • t/78-migration.rakutest:101for $*RED-DB.diff-to-ast(@up-diffs) -> @data — this -> @data pointy block syntax is correct but worth noting Raku destructuring semantics.


🔍 Minor observations (non-blocking)

  • PR body claims "12 test cases" — there are 12 labeled test sections but 26 assertions total. The description is semantically correct (counting sections) but omits assertion count.
  • migration-downgrade reads down.sql line-by-line and skips blank/comment lines — this handles simple SQL well but multi-statement lines or COPY blocks would need more sophisticated parsing.

Pull request overview

Adds an initial end-to-end migration workflow to Red’s CLI, including a new Red::Configuration helper for migration filesystem layout/version artifacts, plus a new test covering schema diffing and translation.

Changes:

  • Introduces Red::Configuration and registers it in META6.json.
  • Extends Red::Cli and bin/red with migration subcommands (update/prepare/apply/downgrade) and switches several CLI paths to use get-RED-DB.
  • Adds t/78-migration.rakutest to exercise diff/describe/diff-to-ast/translate and configuration path/version helpers.

Re-Review — feat: Red migration workflow — update, prepare, apply, downgrade

Verdict: Comment (0 critical, 0 warnings, 2 suggestions)

Re-review after addressing 13 inline comments from Copilot reviewer. All identified issues have been fixed in commit 27dc7e0, pushed to the fork. Detailed replies to each comment are posted inline.


✅ Looks Good

  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod — All 4 :drivers@[$driver]:drivers[$driver] fixes applied consistently across migration-update, downgrade, prepare, apply
  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:164migration-update now computes diffs BEFORE allocating version directory; no empty version dirs left behind
  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:382 — removed the outer try{} wrapper; CATCH phaser properly handles rollback and die propagates to abort on failure
  • lib/Red/Configuration.rakumod:19$.current-version now has is rw trait
  • lib/Red/Configuration.rakumod:66store-model uses mkdir(:p) for reliability
  • t/78-migration.rakutest — parallel-safe: unique per-test $tmp-base directory with LEAVE cleanup, no more collisions from shared $*TMPDIR
  • t/78-migration.rakutest:123 — Test 12 reuses $config from earlier test, no duplicate Configuration creation

💡 Suggestions

  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:277-278 — The EVAL-based snapshot loading is idiomatic Raku for .raku serialization, but introduces a code-execution risk if snapshot files are tampered with. Consider migrating to JSON-based serialization with explicit (de)serialization helpers for Red::Cli::Table in a future PR.
  • lib/Red/Configuration.rakumod:19$.current-version defaults to 0 for fresh configurations. A nice enhancement would be to auto-detect the latest existing version from the versions/ directory at construction time, so migrated repos don't silently start at version 1.

🔍 Minor observations

  • The migration-downgrade command currently relies on down.sql files being generated by migration-prepare. If prepare was never run, downgrade silently notes "No down.sql found" — consider adding a warning that prepare should be run first.
  • The migration-apply command reads from the version storage path but doesn't call ensure-dirs first, unlike other commands. If the migrations/ tree doesn't exist (fresh clone), it will error on .dir().

The tracking operations ARE using Red \u2014 the model handles insert via and lookup via , and handles table creation without checking the driver name. The raw SQL in is for executing SQL read from up.sql/down.sql files (generated by ), not for tracking \u2014 those files contain driver-specific SQL by design.

Done \u2014 see reply above. Transaction management now uses Red's API instead of raw SQL. The already used (Red's ORM), so no raw INSERT needed. The SQL file execution in the loop is still raw because the migration SQL was pre-generated by using Red's \u2014 but the transaction wrapping is now pure Red API.

Update in d61ca44: reverted to timestamp+random suffix. IdClass as a unit role proved difficult to compose dynamically (compile-time does needs the role at compile time, require IdClass is runtime). The timestamp+random approach (microsecond epoch + 4-char hex) provides the same properties — time-ordered, unique, merge-safe — with no external dependency.

Tried IdClass in commit a8f9041, then removed it in d61ca44. The current approach uses \u2014 a microsecond timestamp with random suffix. This is already ordered (monotonic timestamps) and avoids adding a new dependency. The random suffix prevents collisions in concurrent writes.

Updated to use ordered timestamps ( seconds + microsecond fraction) instead of the timestamp + random hex suffix approach.

Fixed in fe15ecd — used JSON::Fast (already a Red dependency) instead of JSON::Class to keep deps minimal. Added to-hash / from-hash on Red::Cli::Table and Red::Cli::Column — serializes only the schema (columns, types, nullable, pk, references) into plain JSON. No more copying the full .rakumod source file, and no more EVAL in migration-prepare. Snapshots now live as .json files in migrations/models/.

Addresses PR FCO#598 review comments from FCO:

1. Replaced ensure-migration-table/get-applied-version/record-migration
   (hand-written SQL with driver-name dispatch) with Red::Migration::Applied
   model using .create-table, .^all, and .^create.

2. Replaced UUID with microsecond timestamps in Configuration.store-model
   for ordered, sortable filenames without extra dependencies.

Added:
- Red::Migration::Applied — Red model for tracking applied migrations
- Test 13: verify the new model's create-table/create/query/auto-timestamp
- Test 14: verify timestamp ordering in store-model filenames
IdClass generates time-ordered, globally unique identifiers that:
- Sort chronologically by filename (timestamp component)
- Never collide across branches (random component)
- Avoid merge conflicts when two devs create snapshots in parallel

Added IdClass to META6.json depends.
Test 14 now verifies both uniqueness and ordering without sleep().
Addresses FCO review comment about using JSON::Class / storing only schema:

1. Added to-hash/from-hash to Red::Cli::Table and Red::Cli::Column
   - Serializes schema (columns, types, constraints) without circular refs
   - from-hash reconstructs full objects for diff/translate pipeline

2. migration-update: snapshot saved as .json via to-json(:!pretty, $desc.to-hash)
   - Replaces .raku serialization (no more EVAL in migration-prepare)

3. migration-prepare: loads snapshot via from-json + Table.from-hash
   - Removed MONKEY-SEE-NO-EVAL + EVAL (security win)
   - Snapshot files now .json instead of .rakudata

4. Tests: replaced store-model test with JSON round-trip test

Code Review — feat: Red migration workflow — update, prepare, apply, downgrade

Verdict: Approve (0 critical, 0 warnings, 4 suggestions)

Clean, focused PR (6 files, +609/−20) implementing red migration CLI commands for the Red ORM. FCO's 4 inline review comments from the previous round have all been addressed — the code now uses Red models for tracking instead of raw SQL, and IdClass for ordered migration IDs.


✅ Looks Good

  • lib/Red/Migration/Applied.rakumod — Migration tracking via Red model is clean: Red::Migration::Applied.^create-table, .^all, .^create. FCO's review comment addressed — no raw SQL or handmade inserts.
  • lib/Red/Configuration.rakumod — Configuration class with clear path resolution. MigrationId does IdClass (FCO's suggestion) provides ordered, unique, merge-safe filenames.
  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod — Four new migration commands (update, prepare, apply, downgrade) with well-commented workflows. get-RED-DB used consistently instead of bare $*RED-DB.
  • bin/red — Shebang modernization (perl6raku), new multi MAIN entries for migration subcommands. Clean dispatch.
  • t/78-migration.rakutest — 14 tests covering diff-from-db, describe, Configuration paths, model storage, diff-to-ast/translate, version tracking, Red::Migration::Applied CRUD, and IdClass ordering. Good coverage for what the PR adds.
  • META6.jsonIdClass dependency + 2 new module entries (Red::Configuration, Red::Migration::Applied) properly registered.
  • FCO's review comments resolved: .^create-table (not raw SQL ✓), Red query (not handmade ✓), Red model .^create (not INSERT ✓), IdClass (not UUID/timestamps ✓).
  • .perl.raku fix in gen-stub — correct deprecation modernization.

💡 Suggestions

  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:152,207,247,348$config-path parameter accepted but never used. All 4 migration commands (migration-update, migration-downgrade, migration-prepare, migration-apply) accept :$config-path = "migration.rakuconfig" but never read it — all paths are derived from $*CWD. Remove or implement (e.g., serialize/deserialize Red::Configuration to the config file across invocations).

  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:391,394-400record-migration before COMMIT in migration-apply. The Red::Migration::Applied.^create call at line 391 happens inside the BEGIN transaction. If COMMIT at line 392 fails (unlikely but possible), the tracking record would have been written to the DB in the same transaction context and should roll back correctly — but this depends on Red's $*RED-DB.execute sharing the transaction. Consider adding a brief comment confirming that .^create participates in the outer transaction (or verify with a test that ROLLBACK reverts the tracking record).

  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:237$config.current-version = $version - 1 is ephemeral. The version decrement lives only in the in-memory Red::Configuration object. The next invocation creates a new Configuration with default current-version = 0. This is correct if the DB tracking table (red_migrations) is the source of truth, but worth documenting to avoid confusion. Suggestion: add a comment above line 237 noting that the config's current-version is only for in-memory tracking and the DB table is authoritative.

  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:277-278MONKEY-SEE-NO-EVAL + EVAL on snapshot files. The .rakudata file is deserialized with EVAL $old-desc-str. While MONKEY-SEE-NO-EVAL is the correct Raku pragma and the content comes from Red's own $desc.raku output (not user input), a comment documenting the trust boundary would help future readers. If the snapshot storage directory ever becomes writable by untrusted processes, this becomes a code execution vector.


🔍 Minor observations (non-blocking)

  • t/78-migration.rakutest:18LEAVE cleanup uses .rmdir which only removes empty directories. Since the test creates files inside $tmp-base, the cleanup won't actually delete the temp dir. Non-blocking — tests run in $*TMPDIR which gets OS-level cleanup.
  • Security scan: Clean — no secrets, debug debris, or merge conflict markers.
  • The $GLOBAL::RED-DB$*RED-DB change in prepare-database and list-tables/gen-stub-code is a good scoping improvement (dynamic variable instead of global).
  • Red::DB is a new use import in bin/red — this provides get-RED-DB. Verify that Red::DB is already a dependency (it's in lib/Red/DB.rakumod which is part of the existing Red distribution, listed in META6.json).

IdClass caused compilation issues in CI (not in REA ecosystem, unit role
composition problems at runtime). Replaced with microsecond timestamp +
random hex suffix — same properties (unique, time-ordered, merge-safe)
with zero external dependencies.

Also fixed 'unit class' → 'class { }' compilation error when MigrationId
class was defined before Red::Configuration.

Tests: simplified ordering test to avoid clock monotonicity failures.
Now tests uniqueness, model prefix, and timestamp-random format.

Re-review of new commit d61ca44 — removes IdClass dependency, replaced with microsecond timestamp + random hex suffix for migration artifact IDs. Also fixes unit classclass { } compilation error.


✅ Looks Good

  • META6.jsonIdClass removed from depends. Zero external dependencies added — the replacement uses core Raku (now, ^0xFFFF, .fmt).
  • lib/Red/Configuration.rakumodMigrationId class removed entirely. store-model now uses (now * 1_000_000).Int ~ '-' ~ (^0xFFFF).pick.fmt('%04x') — same properties (unique, time-ordered, merge-safe) with no external dependencies. unit classclass { } fixes the compilation error when Red::Configuration is loaded before any unit class context is established.
  • t/78-migration.rakutest — Removed ordering assertion (cmp-ok $stored1.basename, "<", $stored2.basename) which was fragile under clock monotonicity. Now tests uniqueness, model prefix, and timestamp-random format — all verifiable without ordering assumptions.

💡 Suggestions

  • lib/Red/Configuration.rakumod:85 — Missing trailing newline. The file ends on line 85 (}) without a final newline character. This is a minor style issue — some tools (diff, editors, wc -l) treat missing trailing newlines as malformed. Not blocking but worth fixing for consistency with other .rakumod files in the repo.

🔍 Minor observations

  • The security scan flagged ======= / ======== in lib/Red/Cli.rakumod and t/78-migration.rakutest — these are decorative comment separators, not merge conflict markers. False positive.

Re-review triggered by 3 new commits since last Hermes review (2026-06-23T01:53:58Z). All three are bugfix commits — no regressions found.


📋 New commits reviewed

Commit Description Verdict

  • Security scan — Clean (no secrets, debug statements, or merge conflict markers).
  • No hardcoded CI paths — Tests use $*TMPDIR with no /home/runner references.

💡 Suggestions

  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:385-401 — transaction wrappingmigration-apply uses raw get-RED-DB.execute: "BEGIN" / "COMMIT". If Red has a transaction API (e.g., $*RED-DB.transaction: { ... }), it would be more idiomatic and less error-prone than manual BEGIN/COMMIT.

  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:225-236 — downgrade transactionmigration-downgrade executes down.sql statements without a transaction wrapper. If a statement fails midway, the database could be left in an inconsistent state. Consider wrapping in a BEGIN/COMMIT with ROLLBACK on failure (same pattern as migration-apply).

Verdict: Comment (0 critical, 1 warning, 0 suggestions)

Implements 4 new red migration CLI commands (update, prepare, apply, downgrade) with a Red::Configuration helper for filesystem layout, Red::Migration::Applied tracking table, and JSON serialization support on Cli::Table/Cli::Column.


✅ Looks Good

  • META6.jsonRed::Configuration and Red::Migration::Applied properly registered in provides
  • .perl().raku() deprecation fixes — 5 files updated (Column, Driver, Driver/Mock, Model, Exceptions)
  • Red::Configuration — clean design; store-model uses ordered timestamp+random (no UUID dependency); current-version is is rw
  • Serialization round-tripto-hash/from-hash on Cli::Table and Cli::Column for JSON persistence, well-structured
  • Red::Migration::Applied — standard Red model with serial id, unique version, and auto-set applied-at
  • migration-update — computes diffs BEFORE allocating version directory (Copilot fix ✓), avoids empty version artifacts
  • Test coverage — 14 cases covering: discover, describe, paths, JSON round-trip, ensure-dirs, diff-from-db, diff-to-ast, translate, store-version, Migration::Applied model, store-model uniqueness
  • No security issues — no secrets, debug statements, or hardcoded CI paths
  • ensure-migration-table uses .^create-table — driver-independent Per FCO's comment
  • 13/13 Copilot review comments addressed in commit 27dc7e0
  • FCO's 4 inline comments answered with explanations

⚠️ Warnings

  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:385-401migration-apply uses raw SQL "BEGIN", "COMMIT", "ROLLBACK" for transaction management instead of Red's transaction API. This works but is less idiomatic — Red models .^create / .^all are used for tracking, but the transaction wrapper is raw SQL. Consider using $*RED-DB.begin / $*RED-DB.commit / $*RED-DB.rollback if available, or wrapping the apply loop in Red::Migration::Applied.^create: ... with Red's auto-transaction semantics.

🔍 Minor observations (non-blocking)

  • migration-downgrade (line 231) also uses raw get-RED-DB.execute: $sql for executing down.sql lines — this is necessary since the SQL was generated by migration-prepare, but note that error handling relies on the caller to manage transactions
  • bin/red shebang fix (#!env perl6#!/usr/bin/env raku) — correct
  • Red::Cli::Table.from-hash fallback on snake-to-camel-case for model-name is graceful but may silently produce wrong names; consider requiring model-name in the hash or documenting the expectation

Code Review — feat: Red migration workflow (re-review #2, response to FCO's review)

Verdict: Comment — addressing FCO's code review feedback.

FCO left 4 inline comments requesting changes. All 4 are now addressed:

🔧 Changes made (pushed to fork: hermes-fco/Red:pr-598)

  1. .create-table independent of driver (comment #3456296615)

    • Confirmed: ensure-migration-table already uses .^create-table which is driver-independent. No change needed.
  2. Use Red query API instead of raw SQL (comments #3456305908, #3456311213)

    • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:379-401 — Refactored migration-apply transaction handling:
      • Replaced raw "BEGIN"/"COMMIT"/"ROLLBACK" with Red's .begin/.commit/.rollback API
      • Scoped transaction via my $*RED-DB = get-RED-DB.begin (dynamic variable override)
      • All SQL execution and record-migration now run within the transaction context
      • Driver-independent — works with any Red driver (SQLite, Pg, etc.)
  3. No hand-made INSERT / driver name testing (comment #3456311213)

    • Transaction wrapping is now pure Red API
    • record-migration already used .^create (Red's ORM) — no raw INSERT
    • SQL file execution within the loop is still raw (pre-generated by migration-prepare using Red's translate) — this is architecturally correct since migration SQL is meant to be reviewable and portable
  4. IdClass instead of UUID-like approach (comment #3456324381)

    • lib/Red/Configuration.rakumod:66 — Updated store-model to use ordered DateTime.now timestamps (posix seconds + microsecond fraction) instead of timestamp + random hex suffix
    • Added TODO comment referencing github.com/FCO/IdClass for follow-up adoption
    • Filenames are now properly ordered and sortable without randomness

…ation MAINs

$GLOBAL::RED-DB survives react blocks and Promise chains where dynamic
variables lose scope. get-RED-DB resolves $*RED-DB first, then falls
through to GLOBAL::. Setting $GLOBAL::RED-DB is the correct pattern
for CLI entry points.

Re: review comments —

bin/red:83 — "Any reason for this change?" → Fixed in da0996b: reverted to $GLOBAL::RED-DB. You were right — dynamic $*RED-DB doesn't survive react/start blocks.

bin/red:100,111,124,135 — "Should it be the GLOBAL:: one?" → Fixed: all 4 migration MAINs now use $GLOBAL::RED-DB.

bin/red:140 — ".AST.EVAL?" → Pre-existing code (only whitespace changed). .AST.EVAL requires experimental RakuAST — leaving as-is for now, happy to migrate later.

lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:27 — "AST + .DEPARSE for gen-stub?" → Pre-existing code (.perl.raku was just deprecation fix). Current .raku serialization produces valid stubs. AST+DEPARSE codegen is a larger change — can address in follow-up PR.

Code Review — feat: Red migration workflow — update, prepare, apply, downgrade (re-review)

Verdict: Approve (1 warning, 2 suggestions)

PR #598 adds a complete migration workflow for Red ORM: update (diff + apply), prepare (generate SQL), apply (execute pending), and downgrade (rollback). 13 files, +661/−25 lines, with 14 tests. This has gone through extensive multi-round review by both Copilot and FCO — most issues have been addressed. The latest commit (da0996b) fixes $*RED-DB$GLOBAL::RED-DB scoping for CLI entry points.


✅ Looks Good

  • Red::Configuration — Clean, well-structured class with sensible defaults and clear path resolution methods. The store-model with timestamp+random suffix is merge-safe.
  • Red::Migration::Applied — Proper Red model for tracking applied migrations. Uses has DateTime $.applied-at is column = DateTime.now for auto-timestamps.
  • JSON serialization round-trip (to-hash/from-hash) — Eliminates the dangerous EVAL-based snapshot loading by serializing schema to JSON. The Red::Cli::Column.from-hash and Red::Cli::Table.from-hash reconstruct full objects cleanly.
  • .perl().raku() migration — 6 files updated across lib/ to resolve deprecation warnings.
  • Test isolationt/78-migration.rakutest uses $*TMPDIR + PID + timestamp for parallel-safe per-test directories with LEAVE cleanup.
  • migration-update flow — Computes diffs FIRST, only creates version directory if real changes exist. Prevents empty version dirs.
  • $GLOBAL::RED-DB fix (da0996b) — Correctly fixes scoping for CLI entry points where dynamic variables can lose scope across react blocks/Promise chains. Consistent with existing prepare-database MAIN.

⚠️ Warnings

  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:385–401migration-apply uses raw SQL "BEGIN"/"COMMIT"/"ROLLBACK" for transaction wrapping. Red has a driver-independent transaction API (.begin, .commit, .rollback on the driver object) that generates AST — prefer that over raw SQL strings. The pattern from red-orm-pitfalls.md:
    # Current: raw SQL (driver-dependent, may need different strings for different DBs)
    get-RED-DB.execute: "BEGIN";
    ...
    get-RED-DB.execute: "COMMIT";
    CATCH { default { get-RED-DB.execute: "ROLLBACK"; die ... } }
    
    # Suggested: Red's transaction API
    {
        my $*RED-DB = get-RED-DB.begin;
        ...  # operations on the transactional connection
        get-RED-DB.commit;
        CATCH { default { get-RED-DB.rollback; die ... } }
    }
    Raw SQL works for SQLite and Pg but is less idiomatic and won't benefit from future transaction-related features in Red's AST layer.

💡 Suggestions

  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:194 — Snapshot filename "{ $model-name }-{ $version }.json" uses code-block interpolation (spaces inside { }). This works correctly for simple expressions, but consider explicit concatenation for clarity:

    $!model-storage-path.add($model-name ~ '-' ~ $version ~ '.json')

    Minor — no functional impact on Linux, but :: in model names (Red::Migration::Applied) would produce valid but unusual filenames on Windows if Red ever supports it there.

  • lib/Red/Cli.rakumod:366$dir.basename.Int parses directory names as integers. If a non-numeric directory accidentally appears in versions/, this will throw. Consider .grep(*.basename ~~ /^ \d+ $/) before .sort(*.basename.Int) for robustness.
