Backport 'Restore AI infrastructure settings after 19.2 upgrades' to 19-2-stable-ee

What does this MR do and why?

Backport of !246616 (merged) to the 19-2-stable-ee stable branch.

Restores five AI infrastructure settings for Self-Managed instances affected by an upgrade to GitLab 19.2.

The regression was caused by the interaction of two migrations:

  • !226045 (merged) adds ai_settings.organization_id in a regular migration, then sets the existing singleton row to the default organization in a post-deploy migration.
  • !243574 (merged) copies the five settings from the default organization's ai_settings row to application_settings in a regular migration.

On Self-Managed upgrades, within milestone 19.2, all regular migrations run before post-deploy migrations. The copy therefore ran while the legacy row still had a NULL organization_id, found no default-organization row, and left the new columns at their defaults.

This post-deploy migration runs after the organization backfill and restores each setting from the preserved legacy row only when its destination still has the default introduced by the failed copy.

  • The MR that fixed the bug on the default branch has been deployed to GitLab.com (not applicable for documentation or spec changes).
  • The MR title is descriptive (e.g. "Backport of 'title of default branch MR'"). This is important, since the title will be copied to the patch blog post.
  • Required labels have been applied to this merge request
  • This MR has been approved by a maintainer (only one approval is required).
  • Ensure the e2e:test-on-omnibus-ee job has succeeded, or if it has failed, investigate the failures. If you determine the failures are unrelated, you may proceed.
