- submissions_studentitem.uuid
- submissions_score.uuid

+Migration to convert UUIDField from char(32) to uuid type for MariaDB compatibility.
+
+This migration is necessary because Django 5 changed the behavior of UUIDField for MariaDB
+databases from using CharField(32) to using a proper UUID type. This change isn't managed
+automatically, so we need to generate migrations to safely convert the columns.
+
+This migration only executes for MariaDB databases and is a no-op for other backends.
