+"""create task_records table
+
+Previously task_records was created at runtime by init_db() →
+Base.metadata.create_all(bind=tasks_engine). This broke Alembic
+migrations that reference task_records (e.g. a5b6c7d8e9f0) — on a
+fresh database, the table didn't exist when migrations ran.
+
+This migration brings task_records into the Alembic-managed schema.
+create_all() becomes a no-op for this table.
