ScreenTinker 7ab19adcea fix(db): observable migrations + fail-fast schema verification (#37)
Self-hosters rebuilding could end up schema-behind-code, failing only at runtime
(a missing users.must_change_password locked out all logins). Two root causes:

1. The migration loop swallowed EVERY error (catch {}), so a real ALTER failure
   was indistinguishable from the benign 'duplicate column' on an already-migrated
   DB. Now only 'duplicate column'/'already exists' is treated as a no-op; any
   other error is logged loudly, and a one-line summary reports how many new
   column migrations actually applied this boot.

2. Nothing verified the schema after migrations. Added lib/schema-check.js:
   verifyAndRepairSchema() checks the tables + columns the request path REQUIRES,
   idempotently repairs missing repairable columns (logging each), and if anything
   required is STILL missing, prints a loud FATAL block and exits - failing fast at
   boot instead of at the first authed request.

Note: the reported 'audit_log missing' was a misdiagnosis - the code uses
activity_log (0 refs to audit_log), created by schema.sql on every boot.

Tests: healthy (no-op), auto-repair of must_change_password, missing-table report.
