The guard only threw when NODE_ENV==='production' AND resolution came
back empty. But NODE_ENV is exactly what isn't reliably set for the
maintenance scripts this guards (they're run by hand from an operator
shell with no service-definition env and no dotenv), so on the real
prod box the guard never fired: resolution silently returned '', the
script opened a brand-new empty SQLite file under <cwd>/data, and
printed a false "0 project(s) rebuilt" success.
Now the guard fires on the OUTCOME instead: whenever resolution
selects SQLite, refuse to run unless the target file already exists —
a migration/maintenance script must never CREATE a database. Applies
only to requireDbUrlForEnv (the script entry path); server.ts calls
resolveDbUrl directly and is untouched, so first boot still creates
its DB as before.

The test never connects to Postgres, it only asserts resolution
behaviour, so the real prod URL had no reason to be duplicated here.
Swapped for a dummy postgres://u:p@h:5432/db throughout.

apply-onboarding-pipeline.ts and migrate-onboarding-templates.ts resolved the
engine as `DATABASE_URL ?? ''`, diverging from server.ts's production
fallback. On the prod box (DATABASE_URL unset) each script opened a brand-new
empty SQLite file, "succeeded" against it, and Postgres was never touched.
resolveDbUrl()/requireDbUrlForEnv()/pgTargetDescription() now live in
db-pg.ts as the one place this is decided; server.ts and both scripts call
it. The scripts additionally hard-fail (never fall back to SQLite) when
NODE_ENV=production resolves nothing, log their target engine before doing
any work, and close the DB handle in a finally.
Also lands client_module.created_at (nullable, additive) — schema groundwork
FIX D uses to measure a no-tick project's age from its real creation date
instead of treating a missing done_on as infinitely old.
