Two MySQL-only failures in the downgrade path, found by running the full migration history against a fresh MySQL 8 container: 1. ``MySQLdb.OperationalError: (1553, "Cannot drop index 'PRIMARY': needed in a foreign key constraint")``. InnoDB uses the composite PK index to back the FK on the leftmost column. The downgrade tried to drop the composite PK before dropping the FKs, orphaning the FK's backing index. PostgreSQL and SQLite create separate indexes for FK columns and don't trip on this. 2. ``Field 'id' doesn't have a default value`` on subsequent INSERT. ``sa.Identity(always=False)`` only emits ``AUTO_INCREMENT`` on MySQL when the column is created with ``primary_key=True`` — our portable path adds the column first then creates the PK separately, so MySQL leaves the column without auto-generation. Existing rows would all collide on id=0; future inserts fail because no default. Postgres' ``GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY`` and SQLite's ``INTEGER PRIMARY KEY`` rowid alias don't have this gap. Fix: extract ``_downgrade_mysql_table()`` that emits the canonical MySQL idiom — drop FKs, then a single ALTER combining ``DROP PRIMARY KEY, ADD COLUMN id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, ADD PRIMARY KEY (id)`` (which backfills existing rows with sequential ids and preserves AUTO_INCREMENT), restore the redundant UNIQUE on the 2 tables that originally had it, and re-add the FKs with their original names. Postgres and SQLite keep the existing portable ``batch_alter_table`` path. Raw SQL is unavoidable for the combined-ALTER form; per the constitution it's allowed for dialect-specific DDL with no SQLA equivalent, with triple-quoted strings for legibility. Verified end-to-end: upgrade → downgrade → upgrade against a fresh MySQL 8 container with INSERT-without-id sanity check showing the restored ``id`` column auto-increments correctly.
