* fix(conversations): enforce NOT NULL + FK on contact_id Conversations had contact_id nullable with no FK to contacts. Combined with dependent: :destroy_async on Contact#conversations, deleting a contact could leave conversations pointing to a missing contact, breaking the conversations#index API with "undefined method 'additional_attributes' for nil" from the contact partial. Changes: - Migration cleans up existing orphans, sets contact_id NOT NULL and adds a FK with ON DELETE CASCADE so the invariant is enforced at the DB level (complements the existing Rails presence validation). - ContactMergeAction uses update_all for conversations/messages/notes/ contact_inboxes so a failing callback cannot silently leave records pointing to the mergee contact before it is destroyed. - Drop the now-redundant orphan filter in Conversations::ResolutionJob and its spec; the invariant is enforced at the schema level. * fix: address review feedback - Drop the ON DELETE CASCADE FK on conversations.contact_id. Several conversation-owned tables (messages, mentions, conversation_participants, reporting_events, csat_survey_responses, calls, applied_slas, sla_events, and polymorphic notifications) still have plain conversation_id references without FK cascades. The DB-level cascade would skip Conversation's dependent: cleanup and replace the NULL-contact bug with orphan children, and would also conflict with the existing non-cascade FKs on scheduled_messages/recurring_scheduled_messages. Keep the invariant at the Rails layer (NOT NULL + presence validation + dependent: :destroy_async). - Clean up orphan conversations in the migration via Rails destroy so dependent associations are propagated correctly, instead of a raw DELETE FROM conversations that would orphan all child rows. - Revert ContactMergeAction.merge_* methods back to per-record update! so Conversation#after_update_commit still fires (notify_status_change / CONVERSATION_CONTACT_CHANGED) for contact_id changes. The bang form still removes the silent-failure risk of the original .update call. |
