SUGGESTION: The changelog describes the created_by addition but omits the breaking API change to archive_checklist_item, whose reported_by parameter was removed. Downstream consumers of the public store API (or any external integrations calling ProjectTaskStore.archive_checklist_item) will get a TypeError after upgrade. Either:

  1. Mention the signature change explicitly in the fragment, or
  2. Note it under ### Changed / ### Removed, or
  3. Restore reported_by as an optional, ignored parameter with a deprecation comment so callers don't break on upgrade.

Also, the fragment is missing a trailing newline (\ No newline at end of file), which trips POSIX text-file tooling.

Suggested change
- Fixed checklist item attribution: added `created_by` column to `task_checklist_items` table and persisted it when creating checklist items
- Fixed checklist item attribution: added `created_by` column to `task_checklist_items` table and persisted it when creating checklist items
- **Breaking:** `ProjectTaskStore.archive_checklist_item` no longer accepts the inert `reported_by` parameter; callers passing it will get a `TypeError`

WARNING: Schema drift between fresh installs and migrated databases.

The SCHEMA declares created_by TEXT NOT NULL, but the matching ALTER TABLE at line 205 adds the column as created_by TEXT (nullable, no NOT NULL). On a migrated DB that pre-dates this PR, the column will be nullable and any existing rows will have NULL. New INSERTs always provide a value, so writes are safe, but:

  1. Reads via SELECT * (e.g. get_checklist_item, list_checklist_items) will return None for legacy rows.
  2. Downstream consumers expecting a str may break or silently coerce.
  3. The DB invariant claimed by SCHEMA (NOT NULL) is silently violated on migrated installs.

Consider either (a) adding NOT NULL to the ALTER (requires a backfill of existing rows with a sentinel like '' or a real user), or (b) aligning SCHEMA with the ALTER by dropping the NOT NULL constraint. Pick one and document it in the changelog.

WARNING: except Exception is too broad and will silently swallow any failure of the ALTER TABLE (e.g. database locked, disk full, programming error in a future refactor). This makes the migration path very hard to debug — a real defect will look like "migration succeeded".

At minimum, catch the specific SQLite duplicate-column error (sqlite3.OperationalError / aiosqlite.OperationalError with "duplicate column") and either log other failures or re-raise them. The existing pattern at lines 187-193 above has the same issue, so this PR is consistent with prior code, but it's still worth tightening.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not hide checklist migration failures.

except Exception: pass treats every ALTER TABLE failure as if created_by already exists. If the alteration fails for another reason, initialization succeeds with the old schema and the next create_checklist_item() call fails when it inserts created_by. Check the schema before altering, or catch only the duplicate-column case, and re-raise other errors.
