# `PhoenixKit.Migrations.Postgres.V131`
[🔗](https://github.com/BeamLabEU/phoenix_kit/blob/v1.7.165/lib/phoenix_kit/migrations/postgres/v131.ex#L1)

V131: `metadata JSONB` on `phoenix_kit_staff_people`.

Adds a general-purpose `metadata JSONB NOT NULL DEFAULT '{}'` column to
the staff people table, mirroring the shape `phoenix_kit_entities`
`entity_data` already uses. The immediate consumer is soft-delete:
`PhoenixKitStaff.Staff.trash_person/2` stashes the row's prior
lifecycle status under `metadata["trashed_from_status"]` so
`restore_person/2` can return the person to active/inactive instead of
unconditionally landing on "active".

The column is deliberately generic (not a `trashed_from_status`-specific
field) so future per-person metadata can reuse it without another
migration — same rationale as the entity_data metadata column.

Idempotent: `ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS`, safe to re-run.
