- Add on_conflict: :nothing, conflict_target: [:id] to the two repo.insert paths that write Changelog rows (log_changes/5 and log_changes_alone/6). - Add TDD test that forces a pkey collision on the audit_log sequence and asserts that update_and_log succeeds instead of raising ConstraintError. - Bump version to 1.0.4 and document in CHANGELOG.md. Closes OPS-4564. Before: callers inside a tx (update_and_log etc.) would surface the raw Ecto.ConstraintError on the pkey, aborting the tx (matches prod stack). After: the audit row insert silently becomes a no-op on collision; the original operation still succeeds and the caller's tx is not poisoned. Test plan (per AGENTS.md): - [x] mix format (clean) - [x] new test written first (red before fix) - [x] fix applied; test exercises the exact failure mode from the issue - [ ] mix test (env has no Postgres; skipped in this pod; CI will run it) See: lib/ecto_trail/ecto_trail.ex:435, lib/ecto_trail/ecto_trail.ex:394

Description
Ecto.ConstraintError on
audit_logs_pkey(unique_constraint) duringecto_trail.log_changes/5(called fromupdate_and_loginside a transaction). The first-party packageecto_trail(valiot/ecto_trail) was missing handling for the primary-key unique constraint / duplicate pkey case on audit log inserts.Summary
repo.insert/1paths that persistChangelogrows (lib/ecto_trail/ecto_trail.ex:435 inlog_changes/5and :394 inlog_changes_alone/6) performed a plain insert without declaring the pkey constraint. When the nextnextvalfor the audit_log id sequence collided with an already-inserted row (observed on retry paths where the log row committed but the outer tx later rolled back), Postgres raisedEcto.ConstraintErrorwhich escaped and aborted the caller's transaction (exact match to the jobs-lamosa-gto-prod stacktrace).on_conflict: :nothing, conflict_target: [:id]to both inserts. On collision the audit row write silently becomes a no-op; the original*_and_logoperation still succeeds and the caller's tx is not poisoned.pg_get_serial_sequence+setval, then callingupdate_and_logand asserting success + row presence). Test lives intest/unit/ecto_trail_test.exs.mix formatclean, version bumped to 1.0.4 inmix.exs, concise entry added toCHANGELOG.md.No other behavior changes. No new dependencies. No frontend impact (no screenshots needed).
Why
Linear: OPS-4564 (https://linear.app/valiot/issue/OPS-4564).
Triage decision: NOTIFY+FIX (severity: high, category: code_bug).
Production impact: jobs-lamosa-gto-prod (and any consumer of
update_and_log/insert_and_log/etc. inside a tx that can retry or race on audit id allocation).Files changed
