❔ ef migration snapshots
If I use the same project to deploy to dev and then live, do I need to clear the model snapshots? it seems it may hold dev-relevant information in there and mess up the live migration (I've noticed some of our migrations appear to not be included on live now)

you do not touch the snapshot
it is how EF determines what has changed in your code
consider it a "serialized" representation of your database in C#. If you delete or modify it, EF will regenerate previous migration-code and EF will lose history over what it has already generated a migration for
I didn't touch it but I did migrate to a different environment which was at a different migration
so was curious if using the same snapshot is fine between multiple environments
in this case a migration which updated seed data hasnt been applied and trying to figure out why
so now live has different data in a table, and ef seems happy
the snapshot is fine between environments, it's just how EF figures out what to apply/change codewise
hmm then I wonder what the heck is going on
everything else looks the same (minus names of constraints etc)
