## Context
Currently, the application crashes with cryptic SQLAlchemy errors when:
1. Database tables don't exist (fresh deployment)
2. Migrations haven't been applied
3. The database is temporarily unavailable during startup
This requires manual intervention to run `alembic upgrade head` and restart containers.
## Goals / Non-Goals
**Goals:**
- Automatically run migrations on application startup
- Handle missing tables gracefully with informative error messages
- Add database connection retries for transient failures
- Ensure seed data runs after migrations complete
- Support both development and production Docker deployments
**Non-Goals:**
- Database backup/recovery (out of scope)
- Complex migration rollback handling
- Multi-master database support
## Decisions
1. **Run migrations in startup event**
- Rationale: Ensures database is always up-to-date before handling requests
- Alternative: Separate init container. Rejected to keep deployment simple.
2. **Use alembic programmatic API**
- Rationale: Avoids subprocess calls and captures errors properly
- Run via `alembic.command.upgrade()` in async context
3. **Add connection retry with backoff**
- Rationale: Database may not be ready when app starts
- 5 retries with 2-second exponential backoff
4. **Graceful error handling**
- Rationale: Clear error messages for operators
- Distinguish between: connection refused, auth failed, missing migrations
## Risks / Trade-offs
- **[Startup delay]** -> Migrations run on every startup, but Alembic is idempotent
- **[Concurrent startup]** -> Multiple instances could race; use advisory locks if needed later
- **[Migration failures]** -> App won't start; this is correct behavior
## Migration Plan
1. Add `init_database()` function that runs migrations and seed data
2. Modify startup event to call `init_database()` with retries
3. Update Docker CMD to ensure database is ready
4. Test with fresh database volume
## Open Questions
- Should we add a separate `db init` CLI command for manual runs?
- Do we need database connection pooling configuration?

## Why
The application currently fails to start when database tables are missing or migrations haven't been applied. This creates a poor deployment experience and requires manual intervention. We need automatic database initialization, migration management, and seed data handling to ensure the application starts reliably in any environment.
## What Changes
- **Auto-run migrations on startup** instead of requiring manual `alembic upgrade head`
- **Improve startup error handling** with clear error messages when DB is unavailable
- **Add database readiness checks** before attempting migrations or seeding
- **Seed data management** with proper handling of missing tables
- **Better database initialization** in Docker environments
## Capabilities
### New Capabilities
- `database-initialization`: Automatic database setup including migrations and seed data
### Modified Capabilities
- `docker-infrastructure`: Add database initialization scripts and health checks
## Impact
- `apps/api/src/main.py`: Add startup database initialization
- `apps/api/src/database.py`: Add connection health checks
- `apps/api/Dockerfile`: Add init scripts
- `docker-compose.yml` and `docker-compose.traefik.yml`: Update startup behavior

## ADDED Requirements
### Requirement: Automatic Database Initialization
The system SHALL automatically initialize the database on application startup.
#### Scenario: Fresh database
- GIVEN a new database with no tables
- WHEN the application starts
- THEN it runs all pending migrations
- AND creates all required tables
- AND seeds built-in data
- AND starts accepting requests
#### Scenario: Database with existing migrations
- GIVEN a database with some migrations applied
- WHEN the application starts
- THEN it runs only pending migrations
- AND does not re-run existing migrations
### Requirement: Database Connection Resilience
The system SHALL retry database connections during startup.
#### Scenario: Database not ready
- GIVEN the database is not yet accepting connections
- WHEN the application starts
- THEN it retries the connection 5 times
- AND waits 2 seconds between retries
- AND fails gracefully with a clear error message
#### Scenario: Database connection refused
- GIVEN the database is unreachable
- WHEN the application starts
- THEN it logs a clear error: "Database connection failed"
- AND exits with a non-zero status code
### Requirement: Seed Data Management
The system SHALL handle seed data after migrations complete.
#### Scenario: Seed after migrations
- GIVEN migrations have just been applied
- WHEN seeding built-in tool types
- THEN the seeding only runs after migrations succeed
- AND handles missing tables gracefully
### Requirement: Startup Error Messages
The system SHALL provide clear error messages for common database issues.
#### Scenario: Missing migrations
- GIVEN tables are missing because migrations haven't run
- WHEN the application starts
- THEN the error message indicates: "Database not initialized. Run migrations."
#### Scenario: Authentication failure
- GIVEN database credentials are wrong
- WHEN the application starts
- THEN the error message indicates: "Database authentication failed"
