Renaming a column that has an index is valid — the index should be recreated using the new column name. Only dropping a column makes an index unrecoverable and warrants the error.

When a column that has an index is renamed via
transform(rename=...), the index can be recreated using the new column name — the error was wrong to treat renaming the same as dropping. The fix updates the stored index SQL to reference the new column name instead of raisingTransformError. Fixes #822.Generated by Claude Code
