Since Wrangler v3 the D1 commands default to the local SQLite file under .wrangler/state rather than the production database. wrangler d1 execute DB --command therefore appears to succeed while changing nothing in production, and wrangler d1 migrations apply DB behaves the same way. Add --remote to target the real database.
The symmetric mistake is running a destructive statement with --remote in a shell where local was intended. Wrangler prompts for confirmation on remote execution in an interactive terminal but not in a non-interactive one, so keep the flag out of shared scripts and put it only in the deploy path. The local file lives under .wrangler/state/v3/d1, and deleting that directory is the quickest way to reset a development database.
