+-- 89_drop_dead_brin_rosreestr_deals.sql
+-- DROP dead BRIN index per code-review audit (2026-05-14).
+--
+-- Context: rosreestr_deals_period_brin was created on the partitioned parent
+-- table, but PG16 does NOT propagate BRIN indexes to child partitions.
+-- The parent table holds zero rows (all data lives in child partitions).
+-- Queries are pruned via the partition key (period_start_date) directly —
+-- the BRIN index is never consulted.
+-- pg_stat_user_indexes.idx_scan = 0 for this index confirms zero usage.
+-- Note: DB connection was unavailable at migration creation time (SSH tunnel
+-- down). idx_scan=0 inferred from PG16 behaviour + no manual BRIN usage
+-- in any query in the codebase. Verify with SELECT below before applying.
+--
+-- Verification (run before applying):
+--   SELECT idx_scan FROM pg_stat_user_indexes
+--   WHERE indexrelname = 'rosreestr_deals_period_brin';
+--   -- Expected: 0
+--
+--   SELECT tablename FROM pg_indexes
+--   WHERE indexname = 'rosreestr_deals_period_brin';
+--   -- Expected: 'rosreestr_deals' (parent only, no child rows)
+--
+-- Source: data/sql/01_schema_rosreestr_deals.sql line 66-67 (original CREATE)
+-- Apply order: after all 88_* migrations have been applied
+-- Dependencies: rosreestr_deals partitioned table must exist
+--
+-- Rollback: re-create per-partition if range scan optimisation is ever needed
+--   (partition pruning is sufficient for the current query patterns;
+--    measure with EXPLAIN ANALYSE before deciding to re-create)
+--
+--   Example per-partition rollback:
+--   CREATE INDEX rosreestr_deals_2025q1_period_brin
+--       ON rosreestr_deals_2025q1 USING BRIN (period_start_date);
+--   -- repeat for each partition
