Most tests opened a throwaway panel DB with database.InitDB, which runs the
full AutoMigrate + seed on an empty file every time: ~230ms, and ~850ms under
-race because GORM's reflection-heavy migration is what the detector slows
most. internal/web/service does this in ~550 of its 830 tests, so the CI race
job spent ~10 of its ~14.6 minutes re-migrating empty databases.
internal/database/dbtest.InitDB migrates once per test process, then hands
each test its own copy of that file (~130ms under -race) and registers the
CloseDB cleanup. The copy then goes through InitDB like a panel restart, so
every test still starts from the state a fresh install has. Tests that reopen
an existing file, migrate a hand-built legacy DB or target Postgres keep
calling database.InitDB.
Locally under -race: internal/web/service 626s (last CI run) -> 114s,
internal/sub 246s -> 35s.
A delayed-start expiry is stored as a negative duration, but the card checked
the disabled-client branch before the sign of that duration, so it printed the
epoch position (-2592000000 ms -> 1969-12-02) and labelled it an expire date.
The sign decides first now, which is how BuildClientDraftMessage in this file,
subscriptionExpiryFromClient and adjustTraffics already read the same value; the
Discord card is the one surface still reading it as unlimited, fixed in #6498.
