An admin&rsquo;s edit is never overwritten without a conflict being raised. A change in the seed to a value nobody touched always lands. An apply happens completely or not at all, even if the process dies. Two deploys at once don&rsquo;t both write. And a value means the same thing to Bootstrapping as it does to SQLite. Each of those got a test built to break it.</p>
