# `migration.record_invalid`

Migration folder cannot be read.

Area 5, [Data](../topics/data.md); not declinable; the next step is usually the human's.

A snapshot edited by hand:



```jadpo
{"format": 1}
```

```text
error: `database/migrations/20261020T1400_initial/snapshot.json` can't be read
 --> database/migrations/20261020T1400_initial/snapshot.json
  reason: A migration's records are written by `jadpo migrate new` and never edited by hand; this one can't be used: it has no `stores` object.
  next: Restore it from version control (human)
