The doc_categories_indexes table is gone

Discourse v2026.7.1 — Commits · discourse/discourse · GitHub — Ember v6.10.1

After a successful upgrade, I noticed that the doc_categories_indexes table was missing, and then I encountered an error when running migrations locally.

Caused by:
PG::UndefinedTable: ERROR: relation "doc_categories_indexes" does not exist (PG::UndefinedTable)
LINE 10: WHERE a.attrelid = '"doc_categories_indexes"'::regclass

The doc_categories_indexes table appears to belong to the Discourse Doc Categories - Customization / Plugins - Discourse Meta plugin. Does anyone know what happened?

Upgraded; the SELECT version() command shows the following:
