Nicky LeachandPaperclip c4e80ccdc8 chore(db): prune obsolete migration snapshots and document retention (#16194)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip uses versioned PostgreSQL migrations to preserve
application data.
> - Drizzle uses schema snapshots to generate future migrations.
> - The database package already prunes snapshots to the five newest
files.
> - PR #15749 added three snapshots but left eight in the resulting
tree.
> - This PR removes the three excess files and documents the retention
requirements.
> - Coding agents and Greptile receive the same scoped rule for future
migration changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15749. Related: #16191 includes overlapping snapshot cleanup with
its new migration. This PR isolates the existing excess and the
repository rule; it has no dependency on that feature.

**What happened?**

The migration metadata directory contains snapshots 0331–0338. The
existing pruning script retains only the newest five, but the older
three were left in master.

**Expected behavior**

Keep snapshots 0334–0338. Commit snapshot pruning alongside additions
and recheck the combined tree after rebases or merges. Preserve all SQL
migrations and journal entries.

**Steps to reproduce**

At master commit e3029c632, list
`packages/db/src/migrations/meta/*_snapshot.json`. There are eight
files. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db prune:snapshots`; snapshots
0331–0333 are removed.

**Paperclip version or commit**

e3029c632. Repository maintenance; deployment mode is not applicable.

## What Changed

- Remove snapshots 0331–0333 using the existing pruning script.
- Add `rules/database-migration-snapshots.mdc` with retention,
generation, rebase, preservation, and review requirements.
- Register the rule in `.greptile/files.json` with matching scope
patterns.

## Verification

- Existing `prune:snapshots` script completed successfully via `npm run
--prefix packages/db prune:snapshots`.
- Existing migration numbering and safety checks passed, run with the
available tsx loader. Safety reported only baseline-covered historical
findings.
- A local assertion check confirmed exactly snapshots 0334–0338 remain,
with retained snapshots and journal byte-for-byte equal to the base. SQL
migrations are unchanged.
- A local assertion check verified that rule globs equal the Greptile
scope, all manifest paths exist, representative migration/schema files
match, and unrelated server/UI files do not match.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` passed.
- Full application typecheck, test suite, and build were not run for
this metadata and review-rule-only change. No runtime code, schema, SQL,
or dependencies changed.

## Risks

Low risk. The five newest schema snapshots remain unchanged. Database
migration history is preserved. The rule supplies agent and review
guidance; it does not add a new CI enforcement gate. Recheck retention
if another migration merges first.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with reasoning and shell/file tools. The exact
runtime model ID and context-window size are not exposed in this
session.
