Consider running migration specs in isolation to avoid test isolation issues 2. Continue using the same testing patterns (migration specs + integration specs) 3. Maintain comprehensive documentation in story files ### For Future Development: 1. The database schema is now ready for subsequent FloDoc stories 2. All foreign key relationships are established and tested 3. Performance baseline established (28.16ms average query time) --- **Validation Completed By:** James (Full Stack Developer) **Date:** 2026-01-15 **Checklist Used:** Story Definition of Done (DoD) **Story:** 1.1 - Database Schema Extension
