This is the version for MVP milestone
New version includes retrieval optimization.

- Add init function to create full current schema on brand new clean databases and run missing migrations on any databases using old auto-migrate strategy with existing data. - Add CLI commands to migrate up, down, or to a specified version by ID - Add utility functions to get list of migration IDs ran on current database, check if migration has run by ID, etc.
Fix struct tag ordering in handler/storage/types_gen.go to match the current code generator output. This resolves CI failures where go generate was detecting differences between committed and generated files.
Merging this now — all tests have passed.

Summary
This PR redacts the
PrivateKeyfield from the response of the/wallet/createAPI endpoint to prevent accidental key exposure.What Was Done
CreateHandler: removedPrivateKeyfrom response payload by explicitly clearing the field before return.CreateWallet_privateKeyShouldBeRedactedto assert thatPrivateKeyis empty in the response.go test ./api -v.Rationale
Previously, the
PrivateKeywas included in plaintext in API responses. While this endpoint is useful for testing, returning secrets by default is a major security risk. This patch minimizes attack surface and sets groundwork for further key safety improvements.Follow-ups (to be tracked)

Ready for merge after CI passes.
