+            # ==================================
+            # This migration adds 'spotify_id' as the standardized column name for Spotify user IDs.
+            # The chosen strategy is to use 'spotify_id' consistently throughout the application
+            # for all Spotify-related user identification, rather than a generic 'oauth_id'.
+            # 
+            # Reasoning:
+            # 1. Consistency: All OAuth provider columns follow the pattern '{provider}_id' 
+            #    (e.g., google_id, authentik_id, dropbox_id, spotify_id)
+            # 2. Clarity: 'spotify_id' explicitly indicates this field stores Spotify user IDs
+            # 3. Maintainability: Future developers can immediately understand the purpose
+            # 4. Extensibility: Allows for multiple OAuth providers without column name conflicts
+            #
+            # This approach avoids generic 'oauth_id' which could be ambiguous when supporting
+            # multiple OAuth providers. Each provider gets its own dedicated ID column.
+            
+            if 'spotify_id' in columns and 'spotify_id' not in columns:
+                # NOTE: This condition will never be true - kept for historical reference
+                # If there was ever an 'oauth_id' column that needed renaming to 'spotify_id',
+                # this would be the place to handle it. However, we've chosen to implement
+                # 'spotify_id' from the start for clarity and consistency.
