Subject: [PATCH 1/4] fix(migrations): add deterministic failure-boundary
 coverage for getAppliedVersions
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

getAppliedVersions could surface raw driver errors, reject valid zero
versions, silently return duplicates, and hand back unsorted or
non-numeric values, so callers could not distinguish an empty ledger
from an unreadable one. Introduce MigrationStateReadError with a
retryable hint, validate and de-duplicate every row before returning,
and cover the boundaries with a dedicated suite. Also correct the
v006 backfill_progress version to match its file name.

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] fix: harden event validation, webhook queue durability,
 and CSRF checks
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Unknown event types were logged and dropped, the queue overflow counter
was written inside the transaction it was meant to record (so it rolled
back with it), and an unset CSRF header rejected every machine-to-machine
request. Reject unknown events, persist the overflow metric after the
failed transaction, and require the token only for browser-originated
requests.

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] test: isolate suites from persisted database state
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Several suites ran against a shared on-disk database whose schema and
fixtures they did not own, so they failed with "no such table" or stale
connection errors depending on what ran first. Give each suite its own
temp database, supply the missing statements and columns, and make the
event-processing suite create the directory its database resolves from.

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] docs(openapi): document health, error, and unauthorized
 responses
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Contract tests had no schema to validate the health payload or the
canonical 404/401 bodies against, and the case extractor missed path
parameters declared on the operation rather than the path item. Add the
missing schemas and read parameters from both levels so generated
examples resolve.
