# CORE_DESTRUCTIVE_NEEDS_TERMINAL

`nextly upgrade --reconcile-core` has a destructive change to Nextly's own tables to confirm, and no terminal is attached to ask, so none was made.

## Cause

`nextly upgrade --reconcile-core` has a destructive change to Nextly's own tables to confirm, and no terminal is attached to ask, so none was made.

`nextly upgrade --reconcile-core` asks before each destructive change to Nextly's own tables. With no terminal attached, as in CI or a script, or with `--non-interactive` given or `CI` set, it cannot ask, so it stopped before making any change. The Why line lists the changes it would make.

## Fix

* Check that the data in the tables and columns the Why line names is not needed.
* Run `nextly upgrade --reconcile-core` again in a terminal and confirm each change.

## Example

```text
✗ This confirmation needs a terminal, so nothing was changed.
  Why:  `--reconcile-core` asks before each destructive change to Nextly's own tables, and no terminal is attached to ask (or `--non-interactive` was given, or `CI` is set). The changes it would make:
        - drops column 'nextly_users.legacy_role'
  Next: Run `nextly upgrade --reconcile-core` again at a terminal, and confirm each change once you have checked its data is not needed.
