Tasks: - Enable docker_compose_flush_handlers=true so services come up immediately. - Add DB readiness guard via maintenance/sql.php (SELECT 1). - Run maintenance/install.php on empty schema with robust changed_when/failed_when (merge stdout+stderr); keep secrets hidden. - Run maintenance/update.php for migrations with neutral changed_when unless work is done. - Make admin creation idempotent: tolerate 'already exists' and 'Account exists', keep async+no_log. Config changes: - Remove LocalSettings.php template and its host bind-mount from compose. - Drop MediaWiki settings path variables and META namespace variable (unused after switch). Result: First boot is fully automated (schema + admin), subsequent runs are cleanly idempotent.
