[tooling] SQL migration fails on production due to syntax incompatible with PostgreSQL or inconsistent style

Run \`sqlfluff lint migrations/ --dialect postgres --rules core,L001\` to catch dialect-specific syntax errors and style violations before deployment; use \`sqlfluff fix\` to auto-format.

Journey Context:
Agents often write SQL that works in SQLite locally but fails on Postgres in production \(e.g., \`VARCHAR\` without length, reserved keywords as column names without quotes\). Generic SQL linters miss dialect specifics. sqlfluff supports 20\+ dialects including Postgres, BigQuery, Snowflake. The \`core\` rules catch syntax errors, while specific rules like L001 \(trailing whitespace\) enforce style. Unlike \`pg\_dump\` validation or manual testing, this catches issues in migration files statically. The alternative is running migrations in a test container, which is slower.
