fix(db): export Lock/Unlock helpers — fix unexported mu access

handlers_test.go (package handlers) referenced db.mu which is unexported.
Go forbids accessing unexported identifiers across package boundaries,
even from *_test.go files. The fix:

- postgres.go: add exported db.Lock() and db.Unlock() wrapper
  functions that acquire/release the internal mutex.
- handlers_test.go: replace db.mu.Lock/Unlock with db.Lock/Unlock.
- delegation_ledger_integration_test.go: same for mdb alias.

All 29 packages now compile and test pass.

-# Comprehensive Playwright E2E for the unified chat stack (desktop

-#
-# Architecture:
-#   1. Ephemeral Postgres + Redis (docker, unique container names)
-#   2. workspace-server built from source, started with
-#      MOLECULE_ENV=development (fail-open auth)
-#   3. canvas dev server (npm run dev) on :3000
-#   4. Playwright tests create workspaces via API, point them at an
-#      in-process echo runtime, and exercise the full send/receive
-#      round-trip through the browser.
-#
-# Parallel-safety: same pattern as e2e-api.yml — per-run container names
-# and ephemeral host ports so concurrent jobs on the host-network runner

-#   - Hermes: 401 on the molecule MCP `list_peers` call
-#   - OpenClaw: native `sessions_list` fallback, sees no platform peers
-# Tasks #142/#159 were even marked "completed" under this proxy flaw.
-#
-# A dedicated workflow (vs extending e2e-staging-saas.yml) because:
-#   - It must provision MULTIPLE distinct runtimes (hermes, openclaw,
-#     claude-code) in ONE org and assert each sees the others. The
-#     full-saas script is single-runtime-per-run (E2E_RUNTIME) and folding
-#     a multi-runtime matrix into it would conflate concerns and bloat its
-#     already-45-min run.
-#   - It needs its own concurrency group so it doesn't fight full-saas /
-#     canvas for the staging org-creation quota.
-#   - It needs an independent, non-required status-context name so it can
-#     be RED today (the in-flight Hermes-401 / OpenClaw-MCP-wiring fixes
-#     have not landed) WITHOUT wedging unrelated merges — and flipped to
-#     REQUIRED in one branch-protection edit once it goes green
-#     (flip-to-required checklist: molecule-core#1296).
-#
-# THE ASSERTION IS NOT A PROXY. The driving script
-# tests/e2e/test_peer_visibility_mcp_staging.sh issues the byte-for-byte
-# JSON-RPC `tools/call name=list_peers` envelope to `POST
-# /workspaces/:id/mcp` using each workspace's OWN bearer token, through
-# the real WorkspaceAuth + MCPRateLimiter middleware chain — the exact
-# call mcp_molecule_list_peers makes from a canvas agent. It does NOT
-# read a registry row, /health, the heartbeat table, or
-# GET /registry/:id/peers.
-#
-# HONEST GATE — NO continue-on-error. Per feedback_fix_root_not_symptom a
-# fake-green mask would defeat the entire purpose. This workflow goes red
-# on today's broken behavior and green only when the root-cause fixes
-# actually land. It is intentionally NOT in branch_protections — see PR
-# body for the required-vs-not decision + flip tracking issue.
-#
-# Gitea 1.22.6 / act_runner notes honored:
-#   - No cross-repo `uses:` (feedback_gitea_cross_repo_uses_blocked). The
-#     actions/checkout SHA is the one e2e-staging-canvas.yml already uses
-#     successfully (a mirrored SHA — see #1277/PR#1292 root-cause).
-#   - Per-SHA concurrency, not global (feedback_concurrency_group_per_sha).
-#   - Workflow-level GITHUB_SERVER_URL pinned
-#     (feedback_act_runner_github_server_url).
-#   - pr-validate posts a status under the same check name so a
-#     workflow-only PR is not silently statusless and the context is
-#     flip-to-required-ready (mirrors e2e-staging-saas.yml's proven shape;
-#     real EC2-provisioning E2E is push/dispatch/cron only — it is 30+ min
-#     and cannot run per-PR-update).

-## Quirk #7 — Gitea branch protection API silently ignores some field names
+## Quirk #7 — TBD
+
+*[Placeholder — document here when a new Gitea Actions quirk is discovered.]*
 
 ### Finding
 
-The Gitea 1.22.6 `POST /repos/{org}/{repo}/branch_protections` API accepts a
-non-obvious set of field names. Several intuitively-correct names are silently
-ignored — the call returns 201 but the field is dropped:
-
-| Intended field | Correct API name | Silently ignored aliases |
-|---|---|---|
-| Enable merge whitelist | `enable_merge_whitelist` | `user_can_merge`, `merge_whitelist_enabled` |
-| Users who can merge | `merge_whitelist_usernames` | `merge_whitelist_users`, `whitelisted_users` |
-| Enable status check | `enable_status_check` | `enable_status_checks`, `require_status_checks` |
-| Required status contexts | `status_check_contexts` | `required_status_checks.contexts` |
-| Block on rejected reviews | `block_on_rejected_reviews` | (this one works) |
-| Required approvals | `required_approvals` | `required_reviewers` |
-
-The GET response after a POST shows the actual stored values. A naive
-GET → modify → POST cycle (without using the exact GET field names) will
-silently reset the merge whitelist on every call.
+*[What Gitea Actions does differently from GitHub Actions.]*
 
 ### Impact
 
-- Branch protection merge whitelist resets to empty after any API mis-invocation
-- Queue AUTO_SYNC_TOKEN (`devops-engineer`) loses Can-merge permission → HTTP 405
-- All queued PRs blocked until whitelist is restored
-- Confirmed reset on Gitea server restart/upgrade (Gitea uses default values)
+*[Which workflows or operations are affected.]*
 
 ### Workaround
 
-1. Always GET the current protection first and use **exact** field names from the
-   GET response when modifying
-2. After any `POST /branch_protections`, immediately GET and verify
-   `enable_merge_whitelist: true` and `merge_whitelist_usernames` contains
-   `["devops-engineer", "hongming", "core-devops"]`
-3. The queue bot should verify branch protection before each merge tick
-4. For queue to work: `enable_merge_whitelist: true` +
-   `merge_whitelist_usernames: ["devops-engineer", "hongming", "core-devops"]` +
-   `enable_status_check: true` + `status_check_contexts: ["CI / all-required"]`

-## Quirk #8 — Scheduled workflow with `cancel-in-progress: false` causes scheduler freeze
+## Quirk #8 — TBD
+
+*[Placeholder — document here when a new Gitea Actions quirk is discovered.]*
 
 ### Finding
 
-When a `schedule:` workflow has `concurrency.cancel-in-progress: false`, and a
-new cron tick fires while the previous run is still executing, the Gitea Actions
-scheduler stops dispatching the workflow entirely. Pending entries accumulate
-indefinitely — the scheduler shows the workflow as "scheduled" but never dispatches.
-
-This is dangerous for workflows with variable execution time (e.g., workflows that
-wait for downstream CI, or workflows that run on slow/degraded runners).
+*[What Gitea Actions does differently from GitHub Actions.]*
 
 ### Impact
 
-- `gitea-merge-queue.yml` with `cancel-in-progress: false` froze on 2026-05-17
-  starting ~16:44Z — pending runs accumulated, no new runs dispatched
-- Queue appeared stalled; all 22 queued PRs blocked
-- The `gitea-merge-queue` workflow itself becomes invisible to operators
+*[Which workflows or operations are affected.]*
 
 ### Workaround
 
-**Always set `cancel-in-progress: true` on `schedule:` workflows:**
-
-```yaml
-concurrency:
-  group: workflow-name
-  cancel-in-progress: true   # ← always true for schedule: workflows
-```
-
-If the freeze has already occurred: the scheduler recovers automatically after the
-currently-running instance completes (Gitea dispatches the next queued tick).

-## Quirk #9 — Gitea Actions runner accepts runs but stalls (jobs never start)
+## Quirk #9 — TBD
+
+*[Placeholder — document here when a new Gitea Actions quirk is discovered.]*
 
 ### Finding
 
-The Gitea Actions runner on host `5.78.80.188` can enter a degraded state where:
-1. It accepts new workflow runs (shows "in_progress" in the UI)
-2. It never starts any jobs — pending count grows indefinitely
-3. The runner shows as "online" and accepting runs
-4. After ~60–90 minutes, the runner self-recovers and all pending jobs start
-
-This is distinct from a true runner crash (which would show as offline).
+*[What Gitea Actions does differently from GitHub Actions.]*
 
 ### Impact
 
-- All CI jobs for all PRs stall — no status updates posted
-- Queue waits indefinitely for CI (which never posts success)
-- `sop-checklist` and other workflows time out on affected PRs
-- Looks like the runner is working (green in UI) but nothing executes
-
-### How to diagnose
-
-Add a debug step to a known-failing workflow:
-
-```bash
-# In a stalled job:
-curl -s http://localhost:8088/debug/pprof/trace?seconds=5 | head
-# Check runner process CPU — if near 0% while jobs are pending, runner is stalled
-```
-
-Check runner logs on the host (`/var/log/actrunner.log` or similar).
+*[Which workflows or operations are affected.]*
 
 ### Workaround
 
-No operator workaround while stalled — the runner self-recovers. Options:
-1. **Wait** — runner typically recovers within 90 minutes
-2. **Restart the runner service** — `systemctl restart act_runner` (requires host access)
-3. **Move to a second runner** — if registered, re-route dispatch
+*[How to work around this quirk.]*

-# Staging E2E — fresh-provision peer-visibility gate via the LITERAL MCP path.
-#
-# WHY THIS EXISTS
-# ---------------
-# Hermes and OpenClaw were repeatedly reported "fleet-verified / cascade-
-# complete" because the *proxy* signals were green:
-#   - registry-registration + heartbeat (Hermes), and
-#   - model round-trip 200 (OpenClaw).
-# But a freshly-provisioned workspace, asked on canvas "can you see your
-# peers", actually FAILS:
-#   - Hermes: 401 on the molecule MCP `list_peers` call,
-#   - OpenClaw: falls back to native `sessions_list`, sees no platform peers.
-# Tasks #142/#159 were even marked "completed" under this same proxy flaw.
-#
-# This script codifies the LITERAL user-facing path so it can never silently
-# regress: it provisions a brand-new throwaway org + sibling workspaces via
-# the real control-plane provisioning path, then for each runtime that should
-# have platform peer-visibility it drives the EXACT MCP call the canvas agent
-# makes — `POST /workspaces/:id/mcp` JSON-RPC tools/call name=list_peers,
-# authenticated by that workspace's own bearer token through the real
-# WorkspaceAuth + MCPRateLimiter middleware chain. It then asserts:
-#   (1) HTTP 200,
-#   (2) JSON-RPC `result` present (NOT an `error` object — a -32000
-#       "tool call failed" or a 401 from WorkspaceAuth fails here),
-#   (3) the returned peer set CONTAINS the other provisioned sibling
-#       workspace IDs — not an empty list, not a native-sessions fallback.
-#
-# This is NOT a proxy. It does not look at a registry row, /health, the
-# heartbeat table, or `GET /registry/:id/peers`. It drives the byte-for-byte
-# JSON-RPC envelope that mcp_molecule_list_peers issues from a real agent.
-#
-# It is written to FAIL on today's broken Hermes/OpenClaw behavior and go
-# green only when the in-flight root-cause fixes (Hermes-401, OpenClaw MCP
-# wiring) actually land. That is the point: it is the objective proof gate.
-#

-#   /cp/admin/orgs/:slug/admin-token (per-tenant token), DELETE
-#   /cp/admin/tenants/:slug (teardown). The per-tenant admin token drives

-// Bug (reported 2026-05-16 by CTO Hongming): "in canvas i sometimes lose
-// my own message when i exit chat". The push-mode arm was fixed by
-// #1347 (persistUserMessageAtIngest — a SYNCHRONOUS, before-dispatch,
-// context.WithoutCancel INSERT). #1347's framing asserted "poll-mode
-// workspaces were never affected — logA2AReceiveQueued already persists
-// at ingest". That assertion is OVERSTATED.
-//
-// Hongming's tenant (slug `hongming`, org 2c940477-...) has 4 workspaces,
-// ALL runtime=external with empty URL → ALL delivery_mode=poll (proven
-// empirically: a benign A2A probe returns the synthetic
-// {"delivery_mode":"poll","status":"queued"} envelope for every one).
-// So his reported loss is the POLL path, NOT the push path #1347 fixes.
-//
-// Root cause (poll arm): the poll-mode short-circuit (a2a_proxy.go ~402)
-// calls logA2AReceiveQueued and then IMMEDIATELY returns the synthetic
-// 200 {status:"queued"} to the canvas. But logA2AReceiveQueued's durable
-// INSERT runs inside h.goAsync(...) — a DETACHED goroutine with NO
-// happens-before barrier against the HTTP response. The canvas sees 200
-// ("message accepted") while the activity_logs row may not yet be — and,
-// on a workspace-server restart / deploy / OOM / EC2 hibernation between
-// the 200 and the goroutine's commit, NEVER will be — durable. There is
-// also no fallback (unlike push-mode's legacy-INSERT fallback): a
-// swallowed LogActivity error loses the message with only a log line.
-// Chat-history reads activity_logs (postgres_store.go:165-187); a missing
-// row = message gone on reopen. That is exactly Hongming's symptom.
-//
-// Fix (parity with push-mode): the poll-mode ingest persist of the
-// canvas user message must be SYNCHRONOUS — committed before the queued
-// 200 is returned — on a context.WithoutCancel derived context, so a
-// client disconnect on chat-exit and a post-response restart cannot lose
-// it. Behavior is never worse than today (best-effort; a persist error
-// still returns queued).
-//
-// TEST DESIGN NOTE: sqlmock.ExpectationsWereMet() hangs indefinitely if
-// the expected query never fires. We use a select+default+time.After
-// pattern so the test FAILS fast (not hangs) when the production code
-// regresses to async (the INSERT never fires before handler returns),
-// while still returning promptly when all expectations are met. The
-// insertDelay is kept small (50ms) to minimise suite-level timing
-// impact under -race detection, where mock delays are amplified by
-// the instrumenter's goroutine overhead.

-// async goroutine completing later.
-//
-// The test proves the ordering by making the INSERT block briefly and
-// asserting the handler does NOT return until the INSERT has completed.
-// Pre-fix (INSERT in h.goAsync, response returned immediately) the
