FACTUAL ACTIVITY RECORD · An activity record based on work that took place
Initializing the production database exactly once
Safely establishing initial data and operating state with a restartable procedure
Purpose
Starting production database operations required an initialization procedure that installed the schema and initial data without duplication and could safely resume after failure.
Implementation
Production initialization was separated into an explicit procedure that applies the schema before inserting product defaults exactly once. It detects an already initialized state to prevent duplicates, provides checks for resuming from the failed point, and exposes the state in Control Center.
The implementation shows defaults inserted only when both tables are empty and existing divergent data causing a stop instead of overwrite. Column lists are omitted.

What was confirmed
Verification results
Implementation and checks were added for the initialization procedure, initial-data uniqueness, and state detection.
At the cutoff, execution against the actual production database had not been verified.
Basis for completion
The work was complete when the production initialization procedure, safe reruns, and unique initial data were implemented and verified.
