Description

If I use the following:

        $table->addColumn('modified_at', 'timestamp', [
            'null' => false,
            'default' => 'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP',
            'update'  => 'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP',
            'precision' => 4,
        ]);

The use of update causes the migration of the entire table to fail.

Tested with SQLite as the database engine.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the migration with SQLite and the shown addColumn options, focusing on how the update option is handled. Trace the migration path for table creation and compare the generated SQLite operation with the expected result. Done means the table is created successfully when update is specified.
