+-- Pre-fix: before permissioned_as migration drops the email column, update edited_by
+-- for triggers where the user (edited_by) is not in the workspace but is a superadmin.
+-- This ensures the subsequent 20260318000000 migration stores the raw email as permissioned_as
+-- (via the `edited_by LIKE '%@%'` branch).
+-- For instances that already applied 20260318000000, this is a no-op (email column is gone);
+-- the 20260401000000 migration handles those as a fallback.
