docs/decisions/2026-10-21-deleted-document-title-backfill.mdquotes the owner's specific 15:33 AWST approval naming this backfill, since their blanket "go ahead" reply doesn't satisfy the database-permission rule. - Notes the backfill is irreversible (no down migration) and that the source migration wins if the two differ.
