This was removed in #25280 as the relevant DB entities didn't go outside the DB layer anymore. SS14.Admin however still uses them directly (as it only supports Postgres), so the interface is still useful there.
How can ONE DATABASE COLUMN have so many cursed issues I don't know, but it certainly pissed off the devil in its previous life.
The start_date column on round entities in the database was added by https://github.com/space-wizards/space-station-14/pull/21153. For some reason, this PR gave the column a nonsensical default value instead of making it nullable. This default value causes the code from #25280 to break. It actually trips an assert though that's not what the original issue report ran into.
This didn't get noticed on wizden servers because we at some point backfilled the start_date column based on the stored admin logs.
So I change the database model to make this column nullable, updated the C# code to match, and made the existing migration set the invalid values to be NULL instead. Cool.
Wait how's SQLite handle in this scenario anyways? Well actually turns out the column was *completely broken* in the first place!
The code for inserting into the round table was copy pasted between SQLite and PostgreSQL, with the only difference being that the SQLite key manually assigned the primary key instead of letting SQLite AUTOINCREMENT it. And then the code to give a start_date value was only added to the PostgreSQL version (which is actually in the base class already). So for SQLite that column's been filled up with the same invalid default the whole time.
Why was the code manually assigning a PK? I checked the SQLite docs for AUTOINCREMENT[1], and the behavior seems appropriate.
I removed the SQLite-specific code path and it just seems to work regardless. The migration just sets the old values to NULL too.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
Turns out just doing the migration on SQLite is a pain in the ass! EF Core has to create a new table to apply the nullability change, because SQLite doesn't support proper ALTER COLUMN. This causes the generated SQL commands to be weird and the UPDATE for the migration goes BEFORE the nullability change... I ended up having to make TWO migrations for SQLite. Yay.

# TODO
- [x] CVars
- [x] Server side loadout point validation

- [x] Move head clothes to loadouts from lockers
- [x] Move job starting equipment to loadouts
- [x] Loadout item preview
- [x] Fix loadouts duplicating on server restart
- [x] Make sure everything is localized -- Components and Tags are an
odd thing to display to the player in the whitelist and are very
unrealistic to make localizations for, so.. not doing that, what do I
do?
- [x] Fix all items going into the bag no matter their size
- [x] Add min/cur/max points to the bar
- [x] Use buttons instead of checkboxes
- [x] "Show Unusable" button to hide things your character currently
doesn't match the whitelists for
- [x] Time whitelist option
- [x] Species whitelist option
- [x] Trait whitelist option instead of EntityWhitelist for the sake of
localization
- [ ] More loadouts (filler things while waiting for review)
- [ ] - Golden or themed items for Command roles with an undecided
amount of playtime on their respective jobs
- [x] - Goliath cloak for playing a lot of Salvage
- [x] - Senior items for playing a lot of its respective role
- [ ] - Varying materials of pocket watches for people with varying
overall playtime
- [x] Fix loadout selectors not updating to match current preferences

> As part of this, it has become impossible for a player to play without
dismissing the message in some form. Instead of a shitty popup window,
the popup is now a fullscreen overlay that blocks clicks behind it,
making the game unplayable. Also, if a user somehow has multiple
messages they will be combined into one popup.
>
> ## About the PR
> Admin messages now have separate "seen" and "dismissed" fields. The
idea is that an admin should be able to tell whether a user pressed the
"dismiss for now" button. Instead of using "seen" as "show this message
to players when they join", "dismissed" is now used for this.
>
> ## Why / Balance
> Fixes#26211
>
> ## Technical details
> Existing notes in the database will automatically be marked as
dismissed on migration. A note cannot be dismissed without being seen
(enforced via constraint in the database too, aren't I fancy).

God bloody christ. There's like three layers of shit here.
So firstly, apparently we were still using Npgsql.EnableLegacyTimestampBehavior. This means that time values (which are stored UTC in the database) were converted to local time when read out. This meant they were passed around as kind Local to clients (instead of UTC in the case of SQLite). That's easy enough to fix just turn off the flag and fix the couple spots we're passing a local DateTime ez.
Oh but it turns out there's a DIFFERENT problem with SQLite: See SQLite we definitely store the DateTimes as UTC, but when Microsoft.Data.Sqlite reads them it reads them as Kind Unspecified instead of Utc.
Why are these so bad? Because the admin notes system passes DateTime instances from EF Core straight to the rest of the game code. And that means it's a PAIN IN THE ASS to run the necessary conversions to fix the DateTime instances. GOD DAMNIT now I have to make a whole new set of "Record" entities so we avoid leaking the EF Core model entities. WAAAAAAA.
Fixes#19897
(cherry picked from commit 2e6eaa45c57c7f5ba561d1fb1ef6712d2432a8fa)
* Give .props files 2-space indents.
* Move to Central Package Management.
Allows us to store NuGet package versions all in one place. Yay!
* Update NuGet packages and fix code for changes.
Notable:
Changes to ILVerify.
Npgsql doesn't need hacks for inet anymore, now we need hacks to make the old code work with this new reality.
NUnit's analyzers are already complaining and I didn't even update it to 4.x yet.
TerraFX changed to GetLastSystemError so error handling had to be changed.
Buncha APIs have more NRT annotations.
* Remove dotnet-eng NuGet package source.
I genuinely don't know what this was for, and Central Package Management starts throwing warnings about it, so YEET.
* Remove Robust.Physics project.
Never used.
* Remove erroneous NVorbis reference.
Should be VorbisPizza and otherwise wasn't used.
* Sandbox fixes
* Remove unused unit test package references.
Castle.Core and NUnit.ConsoleRunner.
* Update NUnit to 4.0.1
This requires replacing all the old assertion methods because they removed them 🥲
* Oh so that's what dotnet-eng was used for. Yeah ok that makes sense.
* Add Robust.Analyzers.Test
* Update submodule
* commit to re-run CI
(cherry picked from commit a6c9c36b688a1ba78ff4c12502e81661cf607b6c)
The keys for admin logs were set as (log_id, round_id). This made no sense because logs are usually accessed per round.
(cherry picked from commit a39999fb9c9f00fc3da17a63d9a0a26706f3720e)
Role bans (#6703) seemed to have changes to the DB model from after the migrations were created. This means a bunch of constraints/indices changed names and this wasn't reflected in a migration yet.
This means Content.Server.Database doesn't have a direct hard dependency on an SQLite implementation. The implementation is already provided by Robust anyways, so this means a publish of SS14.Admin doesn't need a libe_sqlite.so
Thanks to julian figuring out IDesignTimeDbContextFactory exists in #6327.
All this DbContext configuration and options setup stuff is insane. Microsoft should be absolutely ashamed for coming up with this load of garbage.
