  compose.yaml now mounts the named `db-data` volume at PostgreSQL's data
  directory (/var/lib/postgresql/data) and declares it in a top-level
  volumes map, so the database survives `docker compose restart` and
  `docker compose down` + `up -d` (recreate); reset via `docker compose

  out of scope). tests/compose-config.test.mjs locks in both criteria with
  static assertions, non-vacuous mutation probes, and a Docker-gated
  real-stack fixture probe (restart + recreate). Full suite locally: +4
  pass, +1 Docker-gated skip, zero new failures vs clean main (sandbox
  lacks Docker/pnpm/Node 24, so the 12 environmental failures are
  pre-existing).
criterion_to_test:

  - "database volume persists across recreate" -> tests/compose-config.test.mjs: static top-level `volumes: db-data:` declaration + Docker-gated probe asserting a fixture row survives `docker compose down` + `up -d` (containers recreated)

summary: >
  The named volume is mounted at the wrong path for postgres:18, so it never
  actually holds the database files. The official postgres:18-bookworm image
  moved PGDATA from /var/lib/postgresql/data to /var/lib/postgresql/18/docker
  and its VOLUME from /var/lib/postgresql/data to /var/lib/postgresql. This PR
  mounts db-data at /var/lib/postgresql/data (the legacy 17-and-earlier path),
  so the real data directory (/var/lib/postgresql/18/docker) lives on the
  image's own anonymous VOLUME, not the named db-data volume. The recreate
  criterion therefore would not hold; see blocking findings below.

blocking:
  - criterion: "database volume persists across recreate"
    problem: >
      compose.yaml mounts db-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data, but postgres:18-bookworm
      sets ENV PGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/18/docker and VOLUME=/var/lib/postgresql.
      The DB files land in /var/lib/postgresql/18/docker (inside the anonymous
      VOLUME), NOT inside the named db-data volume. The official entrypoint even
      flags a mount at /var/lib/postgresql/data as "(unused mount/volume)".
      On `docker compose down` + `up -d` (recreate), the new container re-runs
      initdb into a fresh directory, so a fixture row would be gone — the
      Docker-gated probe's recreate assertion (SELECT count(*) -> 1) would fail.
    fix: >
      mount the named volume at /var/lib/postgresql (the 18+ VOLUME path), e.g.
      `db-data:/var/lib/postgresql`, and update the static assertion + mutation
      probes accordingly.
  - criterion: "database volume persists across restart"
    problem: >
      Not met via the named volume. Restart happens to preserve the same
      container and its anonymous VOLUME, so the fixture would survive restart
      incidentally — but db-data itself stays empty/unused, so this acceptance
      does not exercise the intended named-volume persistence.

evidence:
  tests_static:
    - "node --test tests/compose-config.test.mjs -> 20 tests: 17 pass / 3 skip / 0 fail"
    - "the new static assertion 'db mounts the named db-data volume' passes; the 3 new mutation probes pass (non-vacuous)"
    - "note: assertDbVolume hardcodes the WRONG path db-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data, so the static test locks in the bug rather than catching it"
  tests_full:
    - "node --test tests/*.test.mjs -> 78 tests: 63 pass / 12 fail / 3 skip"
    - "the 12 failures are all environmental (frozen-install x5, node-engine x1, root-commands x3, strict-tsconfig x2, typescript-pin x1; need pnpm + Node 24 + node_modules, absent here) — none relate to T04"
  docker:
    - "no docker CLI, no /var/run/docker.sock, no DOCKER_HOST -> the Docker-gated persistence probe SKIPs in this sandbox (and would actually FAIL on a real host at the recreate step given the wrong mount target)"
  ci:
    - run: "http://gitea:3000/Fabrika/PersonalBlog/actions/runs/68"
    - job: "http://gitea:3000/Fabrika/PersonalBlog/actions/runs/68/jobs/80 (Frozen lockfile install, success)"
    - scope: >
      ci.yml only defines the frozen-install job (checkout -> Node 24 -> corepack ->
      pnpm install --frozen-lockfile -> pnpm -r list). It does NOT run `node --test`
      or `docker compose`, so "CI green" does not validate either acceptance criterion.
