ai-chatbot does not include instructions for DB migration on local deployments

Database Migration Missing in Localhost Setup

Description

The current README lacks a crucial step for database initialization, causing authentication failures on first setup when running locally.

A similar issue, but was closed without PR change to documentation:
#450

Current Behavior

Database-related errors when trying to register/login:

Failed to get user from database
POST /register 200

Database migrations need to be run before the application can work properly.

pnpm tsx lib/db/migrate.ts && pnpm run build

Did you tried running db:migrate?

Hey everyone,

After completing the setup, I ran the application, and the sign-in page opened as expected. However, when I try to create a new account, I get an error saying, "Failed to create an account." Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Hi all 👋 there are already 3 existing PRs that are addressing this issue:

• Update README.md #855
• Add Explicit Database Migration Step to Local Setup Instructions in docs/01-quick-start.md  #830
• Add necessary DB migration step for localhost instructions #732

@jeremyphilemon any chance we could get one of these PRs merged so that we can close this issue and make it easier for everyone to spin up the project locally?

Cheers
