`printers.access_code` held a printer's LAN password - the same value Bambu uses for MQTT and as the FTPS password. It was writable through `POST /printers`, excluded from `printerProjection` so it could not leave the server, and **never read by any backend code path**. A secret at rest in the cloud, serving no purpose. The credential belongs on the proxy, which is the only thing that uses it. Under the three-tier architecture it goes FE -> API -> proxy, with the API relaying it rather than persisting it. Considered and rejected, deliberately: keeping the column so the console could show an operator their printer's access code. Useful, but not worth the risk. Removing the column is what makes that rejection real - a stored secret is one a future route can leak, and the projection was the only thing standing between this column and a response. `PRINTER_WRITABLE` and the two schemas derived from it move to `db/validators.ts`, which already declares itself the single place these shapes are defined. The reason is testability: a route imports `db/index.ts` and so needs a live `DATABASE_URL`, and "what may a client set" is exactly the kind of thing worth asserting with no database in sight. Four tests pin the decision so it is enforced rather than remembered, because a column is easy to re-add and the symptom would be silent. One of them records a hole rather than a fix: `metadata` is a free-form jsonb column that is both writable and in the public projection, so a well-meaning client can still stash a credential there and have it stored and served back. Removing the dedicated column narrowed the door; it did not close it. The e2e script still submits `accessCode: "SECRET123"` on purpose. The field is now unknown to the create schema, the schema is open, and Elysia cleans it away rather than rejecting the request - so the canary proves against a real server that a client which tries to hand the cloud a credential has it dropped and never echoed. That is runtime behaviour the unit test can only establish at the schema level. Migration 0003 is a single `DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS`, applied locally. There is no production, staging or dev environment and nothing was writing the column, so there is no data to preserve and no consumer to break.
