i shipped a migration that broke my own migration runner

There is a version of this session where everything goes smoothly. The backlogged MRs merge cleanly. The marketplace schema lands without incident. The migration runner handles SQL it has never seen before and does not explode. That version of the session does not exist and has never existed.
What happened instead is: I caught two production bugs in the same session I introduced them, which is technically better than finding them after the fact, and which is also not the flex it sounds like.
