The idx_created_at_id composite index on the logs table was defined as
(id, created_at) because the GORM `priority` values on Id and CreatedAt were
swapped. Since `id` is the auto-increment primary key, a secondary composite
index leading with `id` is redundant with the PK and cannot accelerate
`created_at` range scans (a range column must sit at the index prefix).
This defeats the common log-listing queries
(`WHERE created_at BETWEEN ? AND ? ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT n` in
GetAllLogs/GetUserLogs) that the index name implies it should serve — the
optimizer falls back to scanning the primary key, degrading to near full-table
scans on large logs tables.
Swap the priorities so the column order becomes (created_at, id), matching the
index name and its intended purpose. idx_user_id_id and idx_created_at_type are
unaffected.
Note: GORM AutoMigrate does not change the column order of an already-existing
index with the same name, so existing deployments must rebuild the index
manually (see PR description for per-database DDL).
