Summary

On PostgreSQL instances upgraded from the SQLAlchemy job store, jobs datetime columns remain timestamp without time zone. When enqueue_lifo() subtracts a microsecond from a stored scheduled_time, it reads a naive datetime and raises ValueError: Must use a timezone aware datetime object for scheduling tasks.

The migration converts scheduled_time, time_created, and time_updated to TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, using AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' to preserve existing values as UTC. The information_schema check makes it idempotent — columns already tz-aware are untouched.

Fixes #14783

Upstream stopgap: learningequality/kolibri-data-portal#1100

Reviewer guidance

  • Migration risk: the USING col AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' clause reinterprets all existing naive values as UTC. This holds because USE_TZ=True was always active, but worth verifying for any non-standard deployment.
  • Test on PostgreSQL: pytest kolibri/core/tasks/test/test_migrations.py -v — skipped automatically on SQLite.

AI usage

Implemented with Claude Code following a plan based on the issue. Refined from initial draft: batched information_schema queries, added schema_editor.quote_name() for column names in DDL. Reviewed the AT TIME ZONE behaviour against PostgreSQL docs.

The KDP specific mitigation for this seems to be working on staging and develop, so I think this is good to go. Please collapse to a single commit though.
