audio_metadata (media_items) and audio_offset_seconds (reading_progress)
were declared only inside their CREATE TABLE blocks — fresh installs got
them, upgraded installs never did, because columns reach existing
databases only via the idempotent ALTER block that schema.sql re-runs on
every boot. On prod (v1.15.0) this 42703'd every media-existence check
and the archive pass (1817/1817 scan errors), and every progress save,
since the shared progress upsert names audio_offset_seconds.
Both ALTERs match the declared shapes exactly (nullable JSONB; INTEGER
CHECK (audio_offset_seconds >= 0)); idempotent, applied on every boot.
Verified against a scratch database built to the v1.14.0 shape: overlay
the patched schema -> both columns created; re-run (every boot) skips
cleanly; probes resolve reading_progress.audio_offset_seconds integer
and media_items.audio_metadata jsonb. Parse test and a real container
boot (38 tables, 6 functions verified) green.
