James PineandClaude Opus 4.7 c0eba9c628 fix(db): graceful fallback when SQLite < 3.35 on MCP bindings migration
SQLite gained ALTER TABLE … DROP COLUMN in 3.35 (Mar 2021). Production
PyInstaller builds bundle Python 3.12 which links to SQLite 3.40+ so
that path is always safe, but a dev running the backend directly on
Ubuntu 20.04 (3.31) or Debian 11 (3.34) would crash on first startup
trying to drop the legacy default_intent column.

Add _supports_drop_column(engine) — returns True on non-SQLite
dialects (Postgres / MySQL have supported DROP COLUMN for decades) and
gates on the runtime sqlite_version for SQLite. When unsupported, log a
warning and leave the unused column in place: SQLAlchemy only maps
declared columns, so a stray default_intent column does no reads or
writes and can't interfere with runtime behaviour.
