  "summary": "When EF Core sees only part of your model, it can generate migration warnings that are technically correct but misleadingly wrong about the database operation proposed. This occurs in modular applications where the command-line process may not load the same assemblies as the running application, resulting in a projection of the model rather than the whole truth. The answer is not to ignore warnings casually but to identify the boundary, narrow the exception, and replace the lost signal with a stronger executable invariant. In this case, the migration warning is a false positive caused by a visibility gap due to the loading boundary, and it is safe to allow the legitimate database-update path to proceed despite that one known condition.",
