Drops sentry_groupedmessage_level_c2574e37, the single-column btree index that db_index=True creates on Group.level.

Why

• Nothing in src/ filters or orders Group by level in Postgres, so the index only adds write overhead on sentry_groupedmessage.
• It's a plain CREATE INDEX ... (level). It isn't unique and isn't a constraint.

How

• Removed db_index=True from Group.level.
• Migration 1228_drop_group_level_index uses SeparateDatabaseAndState:
  • The database side is a SafeRunSQL running DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF EXISTS "sentry_groupedmessage_level_c2574e37". It drops this one index by name, so AlterField can't introspect and drop any other single-column index on level. IF EXISTS makes it a no-op wherever the index is absent.
  • The state side is an AlterField matching the model.
  • use_statement_timeout=False, because the concurrent drop waits for open transactions on a hot table. This follows the precedent in 1159_organizationmemberteam_new_id_unique_not_null.
  • is_post_deployment = True, so it runs manually outside the deploy.
  • Reversible: the reverse SQL recreates the index with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS.
• The index name is Django's deterministic name for (sentry_groupedmessage, level), so fresh installs drop it too.

Notes for reviewers

• SafeRunSQL needs sign-off from owners-migrations.
• I couldn't run makemigrations --check or sqlmigrate locally, so please rely on CI and the migration SQL comment.
