Summary

Combines three open PRs (#284 Wintermute, #286 Codex one-liner, #270 community @notjbg) into one clean fix for the Supabase transaction-mode PgBouncer bug that was silently dropping rows during sync.

Problem: On port 6543, PgBouncer recycles the backend connection between queries. postgres.js caches prepared statements per-client, so a statement prepared on connection A fails when routed to connection B. Under sustained gbrain load (sync, extract, embed, autopilot, gbrain jobs work) this surfaces as prepared statement "..." does not exist in logs and 50-200 missing rows in 4,500-page syncs. Exit code is 0, so nobody notices for weeks.

Fix: resolvePrepare(url) helper with 4-level precedence (GBRAIN_PREPARE env → ?prepare= URL → port-6543 auto-detect → default). Wired into both connection paths: the module singleton in src/core/db.ts AND the worker-instance pool in src/core/postgres-engine.ts. Community PR #270 (@notjbg) caught the second path; #284 had missed it.

This PR also carries the prior v0.15.3 commits on branch

The branch history includes the v0.15.3 ship from earlier today (Bug 1 migration shell-out + Bug 4 autopilot resolver). Reviewers: the v0.15.4 commits start at b1beeff and end at 2cdbcd7.

Bisectable commits (v0.15.4)

Pre-Landing Review

Two rounds:

1. /plan-eng-review (Claude eng subagent): 1 issue found, 1 resolved. Caught that adding pooler.supabase.com hostname detection from fix(db): disable prepared statements on Supabase pooler to prevent cross-connection statement-cache errors #270's regex would over-disable session-mode users (port 5432 on the pooler host). Plan changed to port-only detection.
2. /codex (plan review): 12 issues raised, 7 fixed in the plan before implementation. Caught the real landmine: CHANGELOG.md already had [0.15.3] dated today and package.json was at 0.15.3, so the plan (and this PR) target v0.15.4. Also pinned resolvePrepare return type, tightened doctor-check framing, added row-count parity to manual verification.

Both reviews logged via gstack; diff matches the approved plan.

Plan Completion

All 7 tasks from the plan at ~/.claude/plans/system-instruction-you-are-working-gentle-goblet.md are DONE:

• Add resolvePrepare helper to db.ts (b1beeff)
• Wire resolvePrepare into postgres-engine.ts (1a59c22)
• Add pgbouncer_prepare check to doctor.ts (9a27b94)
• Write test/resolve-prepare.test.ts in bun:test (3094695)
• Add source-grep case to postgres-engine.test.ts (3094695)
• Bump version to 0.15.4 + CHANGELOG entry (2cdbcd7)
• Run bun test to verify no regressions (17/17 new, 1826/1826 existing)

Supersedes

This PR supersedes three open PRs. Post-merge, close them with attribution:

• fix: auto-detect PgBouncer transaction mode and disable prepared statements #284 (ours, Wintermute): architecture landed as-is (port-only, no hostname). Tests rewritten from vitest to bun:test.
• fix(db): disable prepared statements by default for pooler compat #286 (ours, Codex one-liner): dominated — unconditional prepare: false would cost direct-Postgres users plan caching.
• fix(db): disable prepared statements on Supabase pooler to prevent cross-connection statement-cache errors #270 (@notjbg, Jonah Berg): the critical both-paths insight landed. Credit preserved via Co-Authored-By: Jonah Berg trailer on 1a59c22 and the CHANGELOG entry.

Test plan

• bun test test/resolve-prepare.test.ts (11/11 pass)
• bun test test/postgres-engine.test.ts (6/6 pass, was 5 before)
• bun test full suite (1826 pass, 0 fail)
• scripts/check-progress-to-stdout.sh + scripts/check-jsonb-pattern.sh (CI guards pass)
• Manual verification against live Supabase pooler :6543 — gbrain doctor shows pgbouncer_prepare: ok
• Manual verification — gbrain sync row count matches source manifest (no silent drops)
