-/**
- * b.db.declareView — declarative view + GRANT migration spec.
- *
- * Returns a migration-shape object that b.externalDb.migrate(...) applies
- * against a Postgres backend. The view exposes a deliberately-narrowed
- * column projection of the source table — sensitive columns are dropped
- * (redactColumns), sealed columns are auto-omitted (operator declares
- * via sealedColumns; a future externalDb sealed-fields registry will
- * make this automatic), and existing derived hash columns can be
- * exposed in place of their plaintext source via hashColumns.
- *
- * Postgres-only: SQLite has no GRANT semantics; MySQL's CREATE VIEW
- * grammar differs and isn't covered. Apply throws NOT_SUPPORTED at
- * migration-apply time when the targeted backend's dialect isn't
- * "postgres" so operators see the failure cause clearly.
- *
- * Public API (b.db.declareView):
- *
- *   var mig = b.db.declareView({
- *     schema:         "analytics",          // target schema
- *     name:           "sessions",           // view name
- *     source:         "public.sessions",    // schema.table OR ["public","sessions"]
- *     redactColumns:  ["ssn", "diagnosis"], // dropped from view
- *     sealedColumns:  ["secrets_jsonb"],    // operator-declared sealed cols (auto-omit)
- *     hashColumns:    { emailHash: "email" },// hide source plaintext, keep hash
- *     whereClause:    "deleted_at IS NULL", // optional filter
- *     grantTo:        ["analytics_user"],   // roles that get SELECT
- *     backend:        "main",               // optional — defaults to default backend
- *   });
- *
- *   // mig is a migration-shape object: { description, target, backend, up, down }
- *   // Place it in a migration file:
- *   //   module.exports = mig;
- *   // and run b.externalDb.migrate.create({ dir }).up();
- *
- * Validation runs at migration apply (not declare) time so source-column
- * existence and role existence checks query the live database. Operator
- * typos surface as clear errors at the migrate command, not as silent
- * empty views or grant-to-nonexistent-role footguns.
- *
- * Throw at declareView() call time on:
- *   - schema, name, source segments → safeSql.validateIdentifier
- *   - column names in redactColumns / sealedColumns / hashColumns →
- *     safeSql.validateIdentifier
- *   - role names in grantTo → safeSql.validateIdentifier
- *   - whereClause stays operator-supplied SQL (the framework cannot
- *     validate arbitrary expressions); it interpolates as-is into the
- *     migration text. Operators wrap any literal values inside
- *     whereClause via standard SQL quoting.
- *
- * Audit metadata emitted on apply:
- *   {
- *     view:                "schema.name",
- *     source:              "schema.table",
- *     selectedColumns:     [string],
- *     redactedColumns:     [string],   // intersection of redactColumns & source
- *     autoExcludedSealed:  [string],   // sealedColumns members found in source
- *     hashedColumns:       { aliasOrHashCol: srcCol },
- *     grantedTo:           [string],
