feat(backend)!: run on Postgres with a migration-owned schema

Swap modernc.org/sqlite for jackc/pgx/v5 with no observable change:
same endpoints, same wire format, same updated_at ordering rule.

The schema now comes from numbered SQL embedded in the binary and
applied on startup, one transaction each, recorded in
schema_migrations. That replaces two pieces of SQLite-era machinery,
both deleted rather than ported: the column probing (Postgres has ADD
COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS, and there is no legacy database left to probe)
and the Asura key rewrite, which has run clean on every start for
months now that the userscripts strip build hashes before writing. Its
regexp survives as latest.asuraBuildHash, where the poller still needs
it to scope chapter links to a series whose slug carries a rotating
hash.

Types get real: favorite is a boolean, chapter numbers double
precision, timestamps stay unix-ms bigint. SQLite's null-safe IS NOT
becomes IS DISTINCT FROM, which is what implements the rule that only
reading progress reorders a list. Inside COALESCE/NULLIF the status
and kind parameters need an explicit ::text — there is no target
column to infer from and Postgres refuses to guess.

Tests lose their free t.TempDir() database, so Docker is now a hard
prerequisite for `go test ./...`: internal/pgtest starts one
postgres:17-alpine per test binary and hands each test a database of
its own. Hand-rolled rather than testcontainers — it is one docker
run, one docker port and a ping loop against a module list that is
otherwise stdlib.

BREAKING CHANGE: DB_PATH is retired for DATABASE_URL, which is
required and has no default. Compose gains a postgres service on an
internal network with its own volume; POSTGRES_PASSWORD joins .env.
The old bookmarks-data volume is deliberately left undeclared so
`docker compose down -v` cannot take the pre-migration database with
it.

## 1. Back up the database
The database is a single SQLite file in the named Docker volume, at
`/data/bookmarks.db` inside the container. Find the volume's real name — Compose
prefixes it with the project directory:
The database is Postgres, running as the `postgres` service on the named volume
`postgres-data`. It has **no published port** — nothing outside the internal `db`
network can reach it — so every command below goes in through the container:
```bash
docker volume ls --filter name=bookmarks-data
# -> local bookmarkmanager_bookmarks-data
VOL=$(docker volume ls --filter name=bookmarks-data -q | head -1)
$COMPOSE exec -T postgres psql -U bookmarks -d bookmarks -c '\dt'
# -> bookmarks, schema_migrations
```
### Preferred: hot backup, no downtime
Inside the container that connects over the local socket as the `bookmarks`
superuser, so no password is needed anywhere in this section. `-T` is not
optional: without it Compose allocates a TTY, which rewrites `\n` to `\r\n` and
silently corrupts any binary stream flowing back out — see the dump below.
The store runs in **WAL mode**, so recent writes may still be sitting in
`bookmarks.db-wal`. Copying `bookmarks.db` alone while the container runs can
therefore silently drop the newest bookmarks. `VACUUM INTO` folds the WAL in and
writes one consistent file, safe to run against a live database:
### Preferred: hot dump, no downtime
`pg_dump` runs in a single repeatable-read transaction, so it writes one
point-in-time-consistent snapshot while the API keeps serving. No stopping, no
WAL to worry about — that is the server's problem, not yours.
```bash
STAMP=$(date -u +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S) # UTC, sorts chronologically as text
docker run --rm \
-v "$VOL":/data \
-v "$BACKUP_DIR":/backup \
alpine sh -c "apk add -q sqlite &&
sqlite3 /data/bookmarks.db \"VACUUM INTO '/backup/bookmarks-$STAMP.db'\""
$COMPOSE exec -T postgres pg_dump -U bookmarks -d bookmarks -Fc \
> "$BACKUP_DIR/bookmarks-$STAMP.dump"
ls -lh "$BACKUP_DIR"/bookmarks-$STAMP.db
ls -lh "$BACKUP_DIR"/bookmarks-$STAMP.dump
```
`$STAMP` is the "time in the name" — `bookmarks-20260730-014233.db`. UTC, so the
files sort in real order and never collide across a DST shift.
`-Fc` is the custom archive format rather than plain SQL: it is compressed, and
`pg_restore` can inspect and replay it selectively — list its table of contents,
restore one table, restore schema without data, reorder. A plain `.sql` dump can
only be piped into `psql` whole, and gives you no way to check what is in it
short of reading it.
Note the source volume is mounted **read-write**, which looks wrong for a backup
and is not. Opening a WAL database requires creating the `-shm` shared-memory
file; with `:ro` the command fails with `unable to open database file` and no
backup is produced. `VACUUM INTO` never writes to the source itself.
`$STAMP` is the "time in the name" — `bookmarks-20260730-014233.dump`. UTC, so
the files sort in real order and never collide across a DST shift.
Verify it before you trust it. An unreadable backup is worse than none, because
you will act as though you have one:
```bash
docker run --rm -v "$BACKUP_DIR":/backup alpine sh -c "apk add -q sqlite &&
sqlite3 /backup/bookmarks-$STAMP.db 'PRAGMA integrity_check;' &&
sqlite3 /backup/bookmarks-$STAMP.db 'SELECT count(*) FROM bookmarks;'"
# -> ok
# 1. The dump parses and contains the tables. Uses the same image compose
# already pulls, so nothing new to install.
docker run --rm -v "$BACKUP_DIR":/backup postgres:17-alpine \
pg_restore --list "/backup/bookmarks-$STAMP.dump" | grep 'TABLE DATA'
# -> 1234; 0 0 TABLE DATA public bookmarks bookmarks
# -> 1235; 0 0 TABLE DATA public schema_migrations bookmarks
# 2. Sanity-check the live row count you just captured.
$COMPOSE exec -T postgres psql -U bookmarks -d bookmarks \
-c 'select count(*) from bookmarks'
# -> 37
```
The count should match what the web UI shows. Zero rows on a server you know has
bookmarks means you backed up the wrong volume.
A custom-format archive stores row counts nowhere, so step 1 proves the file is
a readable archive with the right tables in it, not that the rows are there;
step 2 is the number those rows should be. It should match what the web UI
shows. Zero on a server you know has bookmarks means the API and your `psql`
are looking at different databases — check `DATABASE_URL`.
### Fallback: cold copy (no network for `apk add sqlite`)
### Fallback: cold volume archive
Stop the service first, then copy the database **and its sidecars** — the `-wal`
is not optional, it is where the newest writes are:
Use this when you want the whole data directory rather than a logical dump — a
like-for-like restore of the same Postgres major version onto the same host.
**The stack must be stopped first.** A running Postgres has dirty pages in
shared buffers and WAL that has not been replayed into the data files, and `tar`
walks the directory over several seconds while the server keeps writing to it.
The archive you get is torn: files from different instants, possibly a
half-written page. It may restore, start, and be quietly wrong. Online
filesystem-level backup is `pg_basebackup`'s job, not `tar`'s; with the
container stopped the shutdown checkpoint has already flushed everything and a
plain archive of the volume is consistent.
```bash
VOL=$(docker volume ls --filter name=postgres-data -q | head -1)
echo "$VOL" # -> bookmarkmanager_postgres-data
$COMPOSE stop
docker run --rm -v "$VOL":/data:ro -v "$BACKUP_DIR":/backup alpine sh -c "
cp /data/bookmarks.db /backup/bookmarks-$STAMP.db
[ -f /data/bookmarks.db-wal ] && cp /data/bookmarks.db-wal /backup/bookmarks-$STAMP.db-wal
[ -f /data/bookmarks.db-shm ] && cp /data/bookmarks.db-shm /backup/bookmarks-$STAMP.db-shm
ls -1 /backup"
docker run --rm -v "$VOL":/from:ro -v "$BACKUP_DIR":/to alpine \
tar czf "/to/postgres-data-$STAMP.tgz" -C /from .
$COMPOSE start
ls -lh "$BACKUP_DIR"/postgres-data-$STAMP.tgz
```
Costs ~10 seconds of downtime. A clean shutdown usually checkpoints the WAL away,
so seeing only the `.db` file is normal and fine — the `[ -f ]` guards exist for
the case where it did not. Restoring this variant means putting whichever files
you got back together, under their original names.
Read-only is safe here precisely because nothing opens the database: it is a file
copy, not a SQLite connection.
Costs ~15 seconds of downtime. Read-only on the source is safe here precisely
because nothing is running against it. Restoring this variant means untarring it
back into an *empty* `postgres-data` volume with the stack down — it is a whole
data directory, not a file you can drop next to the live one, and it will only
start under `postgres:17`.

Two steps here are easy to skip and both bite:
Three things here are easy to skip and all three bite:
- **Delete the stale `-wal` and `-shm`.** Leaving them beside a restored database
mixes two different histories; SQLite will either refuse to open it or quietly
reapply writes you meant to discard.
- **`chown 65532:65532`.** The image is `distroless/static:nonroot` and runs as
that uid, while the helper container above writes as root. A root-owned
database opens read-only-ish: reads work, so `/bookmarks` looks fine, and then
every write fails. That is the worst possible failure mode — it looks restored.
- **`--clean --if-exists`.** Without `--clean` the dump's rows land *on top of*
what is already there and you get primary-key collisions half way through, a
partially restored database, and a non-zero exit you may not notice.
`--if-exists` only suppresses the "does not exist" noise when the target is
already empty; it is not the part doing the work.
- **`-T` again.** Feeding a custom-format archive into a TTY-allocated `exec`
corrupts it in flight and `pg_restore` fails with a garbled-header error on a
file that is perfectly fine on disk.
- **Stop the API, not Postgres.** `$COMPOSE stop` (everything) leaves you with
nothing to restore into; leaving `bookmark-api` running leaves connections
that block the drops *and* lets the poller write into a half-restored table.
No ownership fixing is needed any more — the Postgres image owns `postgres-data`
itself and `pg_restore` writes through the server, not the filesystem.
`schema_migrations` is inside the dump, so the database comes back at whatever
schema version the backup was taken at; the migration runner applies anything
newer the next time `bookmark-api` starts.
