Error: migration was previously applied but is missing in the resolved migrations

Hi there

Recently I started having those errors regularly. I open a new terminal and

Error: migration 20260723000000 was previously applied but is missing in the resolved migrations

Location:
    crates/atuin-client/src/record/sqlite_store.rs:68:9

Then atuin seems broken, no history search on :up_arrow: etc.

Saw on the forum that rm ~/.local/share/atuin/records* could fix it. Doing that, opening a new terminal it seems to work. But as soon as I run a command, the next terminal show the error again. Always the same migration ID ~ timestamp.

I installed atuin using mise https://mise.jdx.dev/, here are the doctor & co info

}

And running my self hosted server, container’s image was ghcr.io/atuinsh/atuin:8519849. Tried latest 18.20 from today, not better.

So, what can I do ? I suppose I could wipe the install and start from scratch then sync 99% of the history from my server, but well I’d rather understand what’s happening.
