feat: add pgsql-parse package with comment and whitespace preservation

[pyramation]

Summary

Adds a new self-contained packages/parse/ package that preserves SQL -- line comments and vertical whitespace (blank lines) through parse→deparse round trips. No existing packages are modified.

How it works:

1. The scanner (scanner.ts) uses PostgreSQL's real lexer via @libpg-query/parser's scanSync() to extract SQL_COMMENT (275) tokens with exact byte positions. Whitespace detection uses token gaps to find blank lines between statements/comments. All string literal types (single-quoted, dollar-quoted, escape strings, etc.) are handled correctly by the actual PostgreSQL scanner — no custom TypeScript reimplementation.
2. Enhanced parse/parseSync call the standard parser, then interleave synthetic RawComment and RawWhitespace nodes into the stmts array based on byte position.
3. deparseEnhanced() dispatches on node type — real RawStmt entries go through the standard deparser, while synthetic nodes emit their comment text or blank lines directly.

Key design decisions:

• interleave() uses a unified sort with priority levels (comment < whitespace < statement) to handle ties when stmt_location overlaps with preceding comments
• findActualSqlStart() iteratively skips whitespace and scanned elements within a statement's stmt_location range to find the actual SQL keyword position — needed because PostgreSQL's parser includes preceding stripped content in stmt_location
• Only -- line comments are supported (not /* */ block comments). This was a deliberate decision — block comments are not used in our PostgreSQL workflow.
• 28 tests across scanner (15) and integration (13) suites, including an idempotency test (parse→deparse→parse→deparse = identical output)

Updates since last revision

• Removed pnpm patch entirely: The previous approach used a pnpm patch on @libpg-query/parser to fix an upstream JSON serialization bug, but this caused CI failures due to pnpm v9/v10 lockfile incompatibility. The patch has been removed — no patches/ directory, no patchedDependencies config.
• Inline JSON fix via safeScanSync(): The upstream _wasm_scan bug (unescaped \n, \r, \t in token text fields breaking JSON.parse) is now handled inline in scanner.ts. safeScanSync() tries the normal scanSync() first; if it throws, it retries with a temporarily monkey-patched JSON.parse that escapes control characters via fixScanJson(). The patch is synchronous and restored in a finally block, so there are no concurrency concerns.
• No lockfile/workspace config changes: The only substantive lockfile change is the new @libpg-query/parser dependency for packages/parse. The rest of the lockfile diff is quoting style changes from pnpm v10.

Previous updates (still apply):

• Removed all block comment (/* */) support: RawComment.type is now 'line' only.
• Simplified loadModule(): Now a simple re-export from @libpg-query/parser.
• Simplified deparseComment(): Always emits --{text}.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

• fixScanJson regex correctness (scanner.ts:23-32): The regex /"(?:[^"\\]|\\.)*"/g matches JSON string values and replaces literal \n, \r, \t with their escape sequences. This only runs on the retry path (when scanSync throws). Verify it handles edge cases: token text containing backslashes, already-escaped sequences (\\n should not become \\\\n), and empty strings. If the regex is wrong, scan results on the retry path could be silently corrupted.
• JSON.parse monkey-patch safety (scanner.ts:40-54): safeScanSync() temporarily replaces the global JSON.parse during the retry call. This is restored in a finally block and is synchronous (single-threaded), so it should be safe. However, verify that no other code path could be affected if scanSync internally does something unexpected.
• README.md is stale: The README still references /* */ block comments in multiple places (e.g. "line and /* */ block", "A pure TypeScript scanner"). This should be updated to reflect that only -- line comments are supported and the scanner uses the WASM lexer.
• CI does not run this package's tests: The CI test matrix (run-tests.yaml) does not include pgsql-parse. The parser-tests jobs passed because the package builds successfully, but the 28 Jest tests are not executed in CI. Consider adding pgsql-parse to the matrix before merging.
• findActualSqlStart() correctness (parse.ts:28-59): This function walks forward from stmt_location skipping whitespace and scanned elements. Verify it handles: multiple adjacent comments before a statement, a comment immediately followed by a statement with no whitespace, and the first statement at position 0.

Suggested test plan: Clone the branch, run cd packages/parse && npx jest to verify 28/28 pass. Then try parsing your own SQL files with -- comments through parseSync → deparseEnhanced and inspect the output, especially files with PGPM headers and PL/pgSQL function bodies containing comments inside dollar-quoted strings (these should NOT be extracted as comments — the WASM scanner handles this correctly).

Notes

• Inline comments (comments on the same line after a statement, e.g. SELECT 1; -- note) are extracted by the scanner but will be repositioned to their own line after deparsing, since the deparser emits statements without trailing content.
• The package depends on workspace packages (pgsql-parser, pgsql-deparser, @pgsql/types) via workspace:* protocol. tsconfig.test.json has path mappings so tests resolve TypeScript source directly without requiring a build step.
• The upstream JSON escaping bug should eventually be fixed in libpg-query-node's build_scan_json() C function. Once fixed, the safeScanSync fallback path becomes dead code and can be simplified to a direct scanSync call.
• The pnpm-lock.yaml diff is large but mostly quoting style changes ("@scope/pkg" → '@scope/pkg'). The only substantive change is the new @libpg-query/parser dependency for packages/parse.
