Clearing a gallery's expiration failed on every SQLite install with
SQLITE_CONSTRAINT: NOT NULL constraint failed: events.expires_at
surfacing in the admin UI as "Failed to update event".
Migration 061 added the event_require_event_date / event_require_expiration
settings and dropped the NOT NULL on both columns — but only for Postgres. It
skipped SQLite on the premise that "SQLite doesn't enforce NOT NULL as
strictly", which is untrue, so "never expires" was never reachable there. The
#426 work that allows clearing the expiration on edit therefore never worked
on SQLite either.
Migration 174 finishes 061 for SQLite. Knex implements .alter() on SQLite by
recreating the table; migration 073 already does that on `events`, so the path
is well-trodden. Postgres is skipped — it was handled in 061 and .alter() there
would needlessly rewrite a column that is already correct.
The test asserts against the real engine (the Jest harness runs SQLite) and
reproduces the reporter's exact error without the migration.
