Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how EF Core represents indexes in the model and how migrations consume that metadata; define how a full index specification string should travel with the model while avoiding SQL generation, then verify the behavior for model and migration scenarios.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

area-model-building

For cases where EF can't generate the SQL for the index, but where it is still valuable to have it travel with the model, as opposed to existing only in the migration.
