fix(server): migrate legacy thread pull request links

[Yash-Singh1]

Problem

Linked-thread lookup scans the old linkedPullRequest field on every request to support older V2 thread records.

Change

Add migration 64 to convert those links to pullRequests in thread projections and V2 source events, so projection rebuilds preserve the conversion. Keep existing arrays, including explicit empty arrays, and leave V1 events unchanged. Initialize new threads with an empty array and remove the legacy query branch.

Scope and approval

This is the maintainer-requested migration of an existing V2 storage format and removal of its redundant query fallback. It preserves existing pull-request behavior and the V1 transition. Macroscope approved the prior revision of this scope: #19129 (review).

The branch includes current main. Upstream migration 63 drops unused copied V1 tables while preserving the source tables used for V1 transcript importing; this PR's migration follows it as 64. The earlier snooze and queue fixes already landed in #19099 and are outside this PR's remaining diff.

Verification

On 77fd136, CI passed lint, build/typecheck, the general tests, and all eight server test shards. All eight required checks passed. The thread-transfer report passes every enforced ceiling; its comparison uses the latest successful main baseline because the exact base had no successful artifact.

The prior revision also passed 49 focused local tests. The local dependency refresh for this merge stalled and was stopped, so those local checks were not repeated.

Model and harness: GPT 6.1 Sol, Codex.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 77fd136

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused, tested server migration that canonicalizes legacy pull-request link data and removes a redundant lookup fallback while preserving existing arrays and V1 records. Its persistent-data writes and rebuild behavior are explicitly covered without introducing a new capability or breaking interface.

📝 Walkthrough

Migration 64 converts legacy thread pull-request links in projections and qualifying version-2 events to canonical arrays. New threads initialize that array, and linked-thread lookup no longer reads the legacy field.

Changes: Pull Request Link Canonicalization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Migrate and register pull-request links apps/server/src/persistence/Migrations/064_CanonicalizeThreadPullRequestLinks.ts, apps/server/src/persistence/Migrations.ts, apps/server/src/persistence/Migrations/064_CanonicalizeThreadPullRequestLinks.test.ts, apps/server/src/persistence/Migrations/055_OrchestrationV2.test.ts, apps/server/src/persistence/reconcileV2PreviewMigration.test.ts	Migration 64 converts qualifying legacy links in projection rows and version-2 thread events in batches of 500. The migration registry and migration expectations include migration 64. Tests cover provider links, existing and empty arrays, pagination, timestamps, event versions, and projection rebuilding.
Create and read canonical pull-request links apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/pullRequest/linkedThreads.ts, apps/server/src/pullRequest/linkedThreads.test.ts	New threads initialize pullRequests as an empty array. Linked-thread lookup reads only that array, and the test no longer expects results from a legacy-only payload.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 77fd1

Migration 64 can abort on a single malformed legacy pull-request link or an invalid event timestamp, which would stop the server starting for that database. Decide whether to tolerate or skip bad rows before merging.
