Research direction

The issue only identifies a Rust table declaration using #[primary_key] with a uuid field; no files or tests are named. Start by tracing how the table macro validates primary-key types, then identify the related database representation and tests. Done means a UUID field is accepted as a primary key and the existing behavior remains covered by tests.
