An enum migration looked mechanical. A package-backed value object became a native PHP backed enum. The domain concept stayed the same, the new cases were easy to search, and current code wrote the canonical values.

Then an older row loaded a lowercase value. The native enum expected the same word with different casing and rejected it during hydration.

The missing caller was not in the source tree. It was sitting in the database.
