Proposed fix: [Alembic] Autogenerate fails ('does not provide a MetaData object') or emits drop_table for everything — env.py target_metadata None / models not imported
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: In env.py import the declarative Base and all model modules, set target_metadata = Base.metadata (or a list of MetaData); use include_name/include_object to exclude tables not managed by the models.
Option: Wire models into env.py [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See record scope.
Steps:
1. from myapp.models import Base # ensure all model modules are imported
2. target_metadata = Base.metadata
3. alembic revision --autogenerate -m init
Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
