The fixture's schema entry lived in makedata's schema object (as a second, later key in the same literal) and did not survive the move to createdemodata. saveTable falls back to the file already on the drive, so a reseed looked fine - but CI deletes the appLoc before seeding, and a fresh estate wrote mpe_x_search.json with columns: [], losing the column order the full-table-search spec derives its counts from. Carry the nine columns (name/type/length/format/label/notnull) in createdemodata's schema, and add a case that every fixture table is written with column metadata covering its rows, plus the MPE_X_SEARCH order. It fails against the previous service.
