Context

Jellyfin 12.0.0 could not start on Lyra after the major upgrade. The 20260115120000_FixIncorrectOwnerIdRelationships migration found 73,455 duplicate library rows and then failed with SQLite Error 19: FOREIGN KEY constraint failed. This matches upstream Jellyfin issue #17870.

Jellyfin was restored from its pre-upgrade database backup and is now running on 10.11.11, pinned through the flake-pinned stable nixpkgs input.

Check on 2026-09-16

Review upstream issue https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/17870 and Jellyfin 12.x release notes for a fix.
If a fix is available, back up /var/lib/jellyfin, remove the temporary version pin, deploy to Lyra, and confirm the migration completes and Jellyfin remains healthy.
If no fix is available, retain the 10.11.11 pin and update this issue with the current upstream status.

Completion criteria

Jellyfin 12.x starts successfully on Lyra and completes the duplicate-library migration without foreign-key violations.
