Encrypted values (Laravel Crypt) expand significantly beyond the original plaintext length. Columns using varchar(255) overflow when storing encrypted values longer than ~31 characters. This migration widens http_basic_auth_password and webhook secret columns on the applications table from string to text. Fixes coollabsio#9643

Adds regression coverage around column types / encrypted output length. |
Remove redundant webhook secret column changes — already widened to text in 2026_04_19 backfill migration. Remove unused DB import and webhook test.

The migration itself looks like the right fix but the added test doesn't work.
Could you:

Create Application via factory, save 64-char password through the encrypted cast, verify raw ciphertext length > 255, confirm decryption round-trips correctly.

Closing this PR because it shows a lack of understanding of the codebase. The tests claimed to pass were not actually working and had to be rewritten just to succeed, which raises concerns about the reliability of the changes themselves. Please refrain from submitting further PRs like this. This is not the first instance I’ve had to close one of your contributions. If you’re relying on AI-generated code without fully understanding it, it becomes difficult to assess whether the solution is correct, and it ends up costing everyone time. I appreciate the intention to contribute, but meaningful contributions require a solid grasp of the codebase and the changes being proposed. |

Widened the
http_basic_auth_passwordencrypted column on theapplicationstable fromvarchar(255)totext. Laravel'sCrypt::encryptString()expands values well beyond 255 characters (a 32-char password produces ~220+ chars of ciphertext), causing a SQL truncation error when saving.This follows the same pattern used in existing migrations
