+"""
+Remove the ``ui_use_tailwind`` UI opt-in from UserContactInfo.
+
+Drops the classic-vs-Tailwind opt-in added in 0267. The database drop is made
+idempotent (``DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS``): an instance can reach this migration
+without the column physically present — the OSS->Pro upgrade fixtures, and any
+database whose recorded migration history skews from its physical schema, hit
+exactly that — and a plain ``RemoveField`` emits an unconditional
+``ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN`` that then fails with
+``column "ui_use_tailwind" ... does not exist``. Splitting the state removal
+from an ``IF EXISTS`` database drop keeps Django's model state correct while
+tolerating the absent column. UserContactInfo is not pghistory-tracked, so no
+event table carries the column and a raw ``ALTER TABLE`` is sufficient.
