TimestampMixin (byte-identical to the hand-written pair — zero schema
migrations) adopted by 52 classes across 44 model files; the utcnow
tz-aware migration is now a one-file edit. uuid_pk() replaces the 13
pasted String(36) uuid4 lambdas across 7 files (ai.py's hex variant
stays grandfathered, documented). Deviant shapes (indexed created_at,
sanitization_profile's default-less updated_at, created-only models)
deliberately keep their own columns.

An extension that needed to remember anything had to add a model to core AND an
Alembic migration for it — which is why extension tables like
ext_serverkit_minecraft_* sit in the panel's own migration history. That is a
steep tax on a small extension and it puts plugin schema in the panel's upgrade
path. A plugin now writes to a key/value store instead:
mine = store.for_plugin('serverkit-minecraft')
mine.set('world:1:seed', 8675309)
Values are JSON, so dicts and lists round-trip without hand-serialising, and
rows are namespaced by slug so two plugins cannot collide on a key. Reach for a
real table when you need to query BY the data — this is a key/value store, not
a database, and the docstring says so.
Because the table is shared by every installed plugin, three things are refused
rather than trusted: a value that isn't JSON-serializable, a value over 256 KB,
and an empty or overlong key. Validation happens at set() rather than at commit
— by commit time the error is opaque and the session is already poisoned, so
the next unrelated write fails too.
has() exists because get() cannot distinguish a stored None from a missing key,
and a plugin storing None deliberately would otherwise have no way to tell.
Concurrent writers race on insert; the unique constraint makes that safe and
the loser applies its write to the winner's row instead of failing the caller.
Store rows follow the same rule as extension-declared tables: an ordinary
uninstall leaves them, so a reinstall finds its state where it left it, and
"uninstall and delete data" removes them. The purge runs after the uninstall
lifecycle hook, since a hook may legitimately read its own store on the way out.
