Task #00000 chore : Increase Database Column Length for Feedback Field to Prevent Save Failures

[iamnileshmittha]

IN the DPE project there is one DPO Feedback field now saves reliably after updating the database column to LONGTEXT. Users can enter and save small, medium, and large multi-paragraph text without truncation or errors. Both autosave and manual save work consistently, with no silent failures and no log errors. QA has verified that copy-pasted long content and regular input are saved correctly.

29-29: The column type change is correct for new installations.

Changing from TEXT to LONGTEXT increases storage capacity (from 64KB to 4GB) and is backward-compatible, allowing the DPO Feedback field to reliably store longer multi-paragraph content without truncation.

However, this install script only affects fresh installations. Verify that database update/migration scripts are also included in this PR to handle schema changes for existing installations. Without update scripts, users upgrading from older versions will not automatically receive the schema change.

Tip

📝 Customizable high-level summaries are now available in beta!

You can now customize how CodeRabbit generates the high-level summary in your pull requests — including its content, structure, tone, and formatting.

• Provide your own instructions using the high_level_summary_instructions setting.
• Format the summary however you like (bullet lists, tables, multi-section layouts, contributor stats, etc.).
• Use high_level_summary_in_walkthrough to move the summary from the description to the walkthrough section.

Example instruction:

"Divide the high-level summary into five sections:

1. 📝 Description — Summarize the main change in 50–60 words, explaining what was done.
2. 📓 References — List relevant issues, discussions, documentation, or related PRs.
3. 📦 Dependencies & Requirements — Mention any new/updated dependencies, environment variable changes, or configuration updates.
4. 📊 Contributor Summary — Include a Markdown table showing contributions:
   | Contributor | Lines Added | Lines Removed | Files Changed |
5. ✔️ Additional Notes — Add any extra reviewer context.
   Keep each section concise (under 200 words) and use bullet or numbered lists for clarity."

Note: This feature is currently in beta for Pro-tier users, and pricing will be announced later.
