Niklas Ye a4fbd60441 Scope everything to a team, and route alerts by integration key

The core of #4, and what #1 is for: terdut stops being one shared space.
A team owns its incidents, alerts, schedule and integrations; a user sees
exactly the teams they are in. Everything that existed moves into one
Default team and every existing user becomes an owner of it, so the
upgrade is a no-op for the people using it.

Ingestion is the load-bearing half. An alert arrives on a team's
integration key, and the key is both the credential and the routing: it
says that the sender may post, and which team the alerts belong to. That
also closes the unauthenticated webhook -- the old path stays for one
release, deprecated and routed to the oldest team, so an upgrade does not
stop delivering while somebody edits the Alertmanager config.

Scoping is enforced in as few places as possible, because the failure
mode is silent. serveAs loads the caller's memberships once; list queries
carry `team_id = ANY(...)`; and every incident route goes through
incidentIDParam, which now parses the id AND checks the team in the same
call, so a new handler cannot remember the first half and forget the
second. Anything in another team is 404, never 403: whether an incident
exists is that team's business.

Two bugs this found, both of which would have been silent:

  * upsertAlerts decided "is this a new occurrence" by looking up the
    fingerprint alone. Across teams that made team B's first alert look
    like a re-send of team A's, so it opened no incident at all. The
    lookups are keyed on (team_id, fingerprint) now, as the index is.

  * Every uniqueness rule was written for one tenant. Two teams watching
    two clusters legitimately see the same fingerprint, the same
    groupKey, and want somebody on call on the same day; all three
    constraints move to include team_id.

Roles inside a team are separate from the system administrator flag: an
owner configures the team, a member works its incidents, and an admin is
NOT implicitly in every team -- administration is about accounts, not
about reading other people's incidents. An admin can still repair a team
whose owner has left, which is why requireTeamOwner lets them through.

A shift can only be given to somebody in the team. Paging a person who
cannot open the incident is worse than paging nobody.

The UI is updated only as far as keeping it working: it loads the
viewer's teams with the session and uses the first one, since nobody has
a second yet. "On call now" shows every team the viewer is in, named only
when there is more than one, so the common case reads exactly as before.
The team switcher, badges and per-team settings pages are the next step.

Breaking for API clients: the schedule endpoints moved under the team,
and /api/schedule/current returns an array rather than an object or a
404. terdut-tui will need a version for that.

Per-team dead-man configuration is deliberately not here. A heartbeat's
incident already opens in the team whose key received it, which is the
part that matters for isolation; moving the matchers out of env into
per-team rows is a change to how deadman.go is configured rather than to
who sees what.

Niklas Ye dc39e3a5d3 Move the database to Postgres, before teams need the schema
CI / chart (pull_request) Successful in 1s
CI / security (pull_request) Successful in 17s
CI / test (pull_request) Successful in 2m5s
First step of #1, and it goes first for one reason: #4 adds a team_id to
nearly every table, and doing that twice -- once for SQLite, once for
Postgres -- is work nobody gets paid for. The teams migrations now only
have to be written against one database.

The ten SQLite migrations are replaced by a single Postgres baseline
rather than ported one by one. They were incremental in a way that has
no value on a fresh install: 004 adds columns 008 drops again, and 008's
backfill rewrites data a Postgres database never had. The history stays
in git; the schema they add up to is now 001_baseline.sql.

Timestamps stay BIGINT unix seconds and are NOT converted to timestamptz.
Everything in Go already speaks epochs, so converting would have been a
second, larger change riding along inside this one. It is worth doing on
its own. The JSON columns did move to jsonb, because #4 will want to
filter and index on labels.

Most of the port is mechanical -- 170 placeholders from ? to $1 -- but
four things needed more than a search and replace:

  * Dynamically built WHERE clauses cannot keep their numbering straight
    by hand, so they hand out placeholders through sqlArgs instead. A
    filter can now be added or reordered without renumbering anything.

  * SUM(resolved_at IS NULL) was SQLite counting a boolean as 0 or 1.
    Postgres has no sum(boolean), and this was breaking every dead man's
    switch -- silently, since the sweeper only logs. Now COUNT(*) FILTER.

  * unixepoch() became FLOOR(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM now()))::bigint. The
    FLOOR is load-bearing: a bare cast rounds half up, so a row written
    at .6 of a second claimed a timestamp a second in the future and
    disagreed with the time.Now().Unix() the Go side stamps.

  * The unique-violation check matched SQLite's error text. It matches
    SQLSTATE 23505 now, so a renamed constraint cannot turn a 409 back
    into a 500.

Tests need a real Postgres, because there is no in-memory Postgres the
way there was an in-memory SQLite. Each test gets its own schema on a
shared server -- cheaper than a database each, and still isolated.
TERDUT_TEST_DSN says where it is; `make test-db` starts one locally and
ci.yaml runs one as a service container. An unset DSN fails the suite
rather than skipping it: a run that quietly tests nothing is worse than
one that does not run.

TestMigration_BackfillCarriesAckAndComments is deleted along with the
migrations it replayed. What it protected -- an upgrade not losing
acknowledgements and comments -- now belongs to scripts/sqlite-to-postgres.go,
which is build-tagged so the SQLite driver stays out of the server
binary. Both are meant to be deleted once this install has migrated.

The chart loses the PVC, the data volume and the python backup sidecar,
and requires database.dsnSecret.name: it provisions no database and
cannot guess where the credentials live, so a render without it is meant
to fail. Backups move to where Postgres actually runs. The other half of
that -- the postgresql CR, the k8up pg_dump annotation and the network
policy -- is a change to the wrapper chart in Ryuvia/charts and is not in
here.

Verified rather than assumed: the gate is green with -race against
Postgres 17, govulncheck and gitleaks are clean, and the migration script
was run end to end against a SQLite database built at the old schema and
seeded in every table. Ids survive, so incidents keep their numbers and
every foreign key still points where it did; the identity sequences are
moved past the copied ids, and a webhook after the migration opened
incident 12 rather than colliding at 1.

Everything this server does assumes alerts arrive. If Prometheus stops
evaluating, or Alertmanager cannot reach us, nothing arrives — and
silence is indistinguishable from everything being fine. The cluster has
shipped the alert for exactly this case all along: Watchdog is
expr: vector(1), so it fires permanently and is re-sent forever, and it
is worth nothing unless something downstream notices it stop. Nothing
did. It arrived, opened no incident because a repeat_interval re-send is
not a new occurrence, and when the monitoring stack died the sweeper
quietly expired it and paged nobody.

So the handling is inverted for a configurable set of alerts: receiving
one opens no incident, and the absence of one does. TERDUT_DEADMAN_MATCHERS
selects them as label matchers, defaulting to alertname=Watchdog.

The unit of monitoring is the fingerprint rather than the alert name. Two
clusters sending the same Watchdog are two independent switches, so a
healthy one can never mask a dead one. Every matcher must name an
alertname, which keeps the sweeper's candidate query on alerts_name_idx
instead of JSON-extracting labels from every row, and leaves matching
with a single implementation.

A switch is dormant until its first heartbeat: a matcher nothing has ever
sent opens nothing, so a fresh deploy or a restored database does not
page. Resolving the incident by hand sticks, exactly as it does for an
alert-backed one, so a decommissioned source is a one-time page rather
than a nag; the switch re-arms only when the heartbeat comes back, and
dying again is a new incident.

The incident has no member alerts on purpose. Linking the heartbeat would
have the settled-incident cascade close it on the very sweep that opened
it, and there is no alert describing the problem anyway — the problem is
that no alert arrived. What happened is on the timeline instead, and
recovery is the only automatic way out.

One narrow exemption in the ingest guard makes recovery possible at all.
A heartbeat we declared dead is marked resolved, and the one that proves
us wrong carries the unchanged startsAt of an alert that never stopped
firing — so "resolution is terminal within an instance" would discard it
forever and a switch could die exactly once. The exemption is scoped to
resolution_source = 'deadman', which is the only resolution this server
infers from silence on a timeout of its own, so nothing another writer
set can be undone by a stale retry. Matched alerts are also held back
from the generic staleness expiry, which would otherwise resolve a
heartbeat as 'expiry' long before its own tighter deadline.

The timeout points the opposite way to TERDUT_STALE_AFTER: staleness is a
generous grace period around a repeat_interval you do not control, while
this is a deadline you set deliberately and configure the heartbeat's
route to beat. Inheriting a 4h or 12h repeat_interval gives a dead man's
switch with a twelve hour fuse, so the README spells out the route the
heartbeat needs.
