# Which Problems Are Solved
Adds a repository implementation to add/remove recovery codes to the
users relational table.
# How the Problems Are Solved
This is achieved by:
* adding the following columns to the users table: `recovery_codes`,
`recovery_code_last_successful_check`, `recovery_code_failed_attempts`
* adding the `RecoveryCodes` field to the `HumanUser` domain with fields
to set recovery `codes`, `lastSuccessfullyCheckedAt` timestamp, and
`failedAttempts`
* setting `recoveryCodes` in the `Get` user query statement to return a
json object with details related to the recovery codes
* adding the repository-layer implementation to add/remove recovery
codes and set fields related to recovery code checks.
* adding projection reducers to handle the following events:
`HumanRecoveryCodesAddedEvent`, `HumanRecoveryCodesRemovedEvent`,
`HumanRecoveryCodeCheckSucceededEvent`, and
`HumanRecoveryCodeCheckFailedEvent`
* adding unit tests
# Additional Changes
* fix the error message when the recovery is empty in
`internal/command/user_human_recovery_codes.go`
* add a new error message for empty recovery code during checks in
`en.yaml`
# Additional Context
- Closes https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/11212
- Follow-up: integration tests for the reducers will be added in a
different PR after this
[PR](https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/pull/11478) is merged
## Summary
This PR introduces the relational user repository for backend v3,
including schema, repository APIs, reducers/projections, and tests for
both human and machine users.
## What changed
* Added user-focused relational migrations (users, verifications,
metadata, PATs, machine keys, passkeys, identity provider links) and
related FK wiring.
* Implemented/expanded repository domain contracts and storage
implementations for human and machine user flows.
* Added support for machine secret handling and aligned access token
type modeling.
* Extended user domain models (verifications, password/email/phone/TOTP
state, passkeys, metadata, invite handling, identity provider links).
* Updated projection/reduction coverage and integration tests for key
user lifecycle events.
* Regenerated and updated mocks/enums plus supporting database
change/column utilities.
## Notes for reviewers
* This PR is large because it establishes the foundational relational
user storage layer and related test scaffolding. Sorry for that.
