 One logical change per file. Multiple unrelated tables → split. The reviewer line: "the name of the migration is misleading because it does two things." A migration that adds a column to `workflow_entity` *and* creates `audit_log` should be two migrations.
 
+### Reviewing migrations in a stack
+
+Migrations are gated by the `@n8n-io/migrations-review` team and are the hardest
+part of a change to get right, so isolate them for review:
+
+- **Keep the migration PR small.** It should contain the migration plus the
+  directly-required entity/type changes — nothing else. Business logic that
+  reads or writes the new schema belongs in a separate PR. A reviewer should be
+  able to judge the schema without wading through feature code. The migration
+  is then approved and merged to master on its own, before the rest of the
+  feature merges.
+- **Review the business logic before the migration merges** — the full feature
+  still gets reviewed; splitting it out doesn't skip that. The migration's
+  shape often depends on how the code uses it (a CHECK constraint enforcing an
+  invariant, a denormalized column serving a specific read pattern), so its
+  consuming logic must be validated before the schema is locked in and merged.
+- **In a stacked PR, only the migration PR is marked ready for review.** All
+  other PRs in the stack stay as drafts until the migration merges — this keeps
+  reviewer attention on the migration and avoids re-reviewing downstream PRs
+  when the schema shifts during migration review.
+
 ### Don't edit a previously merged migration
 
 Once shipped, migrations are immutable. Write a new migration. To remove a column added by an earlier migration, do it in a separate follow-up migration (typically in a later release — see [Deprecate columns, then drop in a follow-up](#deprecate-columns-then-drop-in-a-follow-up)).
