Subject: [PATCH] fix: handle audit_log pkey unique violation in log_changes
(Ecto.ConstraintError)
- Move changelog_changeset to EctoTrail.Changelog.changeset/1
- Add unique_constraint(:id, name:
_pkey) derived from :table_name config
- Existing log error paths already swallow the {:error, changeset} and do not rollback caller tx
- Add :db-tagged test that forces pkey collision and asserts user operation succeeds
- Version 1.0.4 + CHANGELOG entry
- Guard test_helper DB setup so suite loads without Postgres (tests still run :db tag in CI)
Closes OPS-4622

+- `*_and_log/*` and `log/*` no longer raise `Ecto.ConstraintError` on duplicate `audit_log` pkey (e.g. race on `audit_logs_pkey`). The pkey is now declared via `unique_constraint/2` (derived from configured table name) so the existing soft-failure paths treat it as a log write failure and preserve the caller's transaction. Closes OPS-4622.
