## 🔍 The Problem During migration commands (`migrate`, `plan`, and `sqlmigrate`), generated SQL table definitions omitted ForeignKey columns when referencing models defined in a separate application. `MigrationExecutor` was initialized with only the targeted subset of applications rather than all configured apps for the active database connection. Because the migration `State` constructs historical models using only the apps provided to the executor, models from external applications were excluded from the migration plan state. When `StateApps._init_relations()` attempted to resolve foreign key relationships to external models, it skipped relation initialization due to the missing models in state, causing the foreign key fields to be excluded from `fields_db_projection` and omitted from the generated SQL statements. ## 🛠️ The Solution * Updated `tortoise/migrations/api/migrate.py`, `tortoise/migrations/api/plan.py`, and `tortoise/migrations/api/sqlmigrate.py` to instantiate `MigrationExecutor` using the complete set of configured apps for each database connection. * Restructured target filtering to occur after executor initialization, ensuring migration operations only execute against specified target applications while maintaining full model relationship awareness. * Added short-circuit checks (`if not executor_targets: continue`) to skip connection processing when no matching targets exist, preventing unintended executions. ## 🟢 Confidence: High | Engineering Dimension | Status / Score | Technical Telemetry | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 🎯 **Intent Clarity** | 🟢 **High** | The issue description clearly isolates the missing cross-app foreign key constraint during migrations. | | 🔍 **RCA Confidence** | 🟢 **High** | Root cause isolated to `MigrationExecutor` state dropping cross-app relations when initialized with app subsets. | | 🧪 **TDD Relevance** | 🟢 **High** | Reproduction integration test verified the missing foreign key in generated migration SQL before fix and confirmed resolution after fix. | | 🛠️ **Execution Safety** | 🟢 **High** | Migration executor state safely receives all connection apps while post-init filtering prevents unintended migrations. | | 🗺️ **Code Blast Radius** | 🟡 **Medium** | Modifications affect core migration CLI entrypoints across `migrate`, `plan`, and `sqlmigrate`. | | 🧠 **Fact & Logic Grounding** | 🟢 **High** | Audit confirmed full grounding across root cause analysis, implementation strategy, and verified test assertions. | Code blast radius is evaluated as Medium due to modifying core migration entrypoints across `migrate.py`, `plan.py`, and `sqlmigrate.py`.

🔍 The Problem
During migration commands (
migrate,plan, andsqlmigrate), generated SQL table definitions omitted ForeignKey columns when referencing models defined in a separate application.MigrationExecutorwas initialized with only the targeted subset of applications rather than all configured apps for the active database connection. Because the migrationStateconstructs historical models using only the apps provided to the executor, models from external applications were excluded from the migration plan state. WhenStateApps._init_relations()attempted to resolve foreign key relationships to external models, it skipped relation initialization due to the missing models in state, causing the foreign key fields to be excluded fromfields_db_projectionand omitted from the generated SQL statements.🛠️ The Solution
Updated
tortoise/migrations/api/migrate.py,tortoise/migrations/api/plan.py, andtortoise/migrations/api/sqlmigrate.pyto instantiateMigrationExecutorusing the complete set of configured apps for each database connection.Restructured target filtering to occur after executor initialization, ensuring migration operations only execute against specified target applications while maintaining full model relationship awareness.
Added short-circuit checks (
if not executor_targets: continue) to skip connection processing when no matching targets exist, preventing unintended executions.🟢 Confidence: High
