+ * Make driver uniqueness soft-delete aware. The original table used plain
+ * column UNIQUE constraints (drivers_email_key, etc.) which count soft-deleted
+ * rows, so deleting a driver then re-adding the same email/phone/license/Fayda
+ * identity failed at the DB with a raw 500 — even though the service's own
+ * (deleted_at-excluding) duplicate check saw nothing. Replace them with partial
+ * unique indexes scoped to live rows (deleted_at IS NULL) so uniqueness matches
+ * what the service enforces and freed values become reusable after deletion.
