Proposed fix: [Django migrations] 'InconsistentMigrationHistory: Migration admin.0001_initial is applied before its dependency <app>.0001_initial' — typically AUTH_USER_MODEL switched to a custom user
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: For dev DBs, recreate the database and migrate from scratch. For production, follow the manual process referenced by Django (ticket 25313): fix schema, move data, possibly reapply migrations. Set a custom user model at project start; the model must be in its app's first migration.
Option: Reset dev database or perform documented manual migration [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Custom user model introduced late
Steps:
1. Dev: drop and recreate DB, run migrate
2. Prod: follow ticket 25313 outline: create the new user table, migrate data, fix FKs, adjust django_migrations records
Expected: Consistent migration history
