 /**
- * Unified codec definitions for Postgres adapter.
+ * Native Postgres target codecs (TML-2357). Mirrors the SQL base codec form in `packages/2-sql/4-lanes/relational-core/src/ast/sql-codecs.ts`.
  *
- * This file contains a single source of truth for all codec information:
- * - Scalar names
- * - Type IDs
- * - Codec implementations (runtime)
- * - Type information (compile-time)
+ * Each codec ships as three artifacts:
  *
- * This structure is used both at runtime (to populate the registry) and
- * at compile time (to derive CodecTypes).
+ * 1. A `PgXCodec` class extending {@link CodecImpl} that wraps the module-level encode/decode/encodeJson/decodeJson constants exported from `codec-helpers.ts` (the single source of truth for non-trivial runtime conversions; trivial identity passthroughs are inlined). 2. A `PgXDescriptor` class extending {@link CodecDescriptorImpl} declaring the codec id, traits, target types, params schema, meta, and (where applicable)
+ * the emit-path `renderOutputType`. 3. A per-codec column helper (`pgXColumn`) that calls `descriptor.factory(...)` directly and packages the result into a {@link ColumnSpec} via the framework {@link column} packager. The helper is tied to its descriptor with `satisfies ColumnHelperFor` (and `ColumnHelperForStrict` where the resolved codec type is well-defined).
+ *
+ * After TML-2357 this is the canonical source of Postgres codec metadata and runtime behaviour — the legacy `mkCodec` / `defineCodec` carriers (and the parallel `byScalar`/`codecDescriptorDefinitions`/ `codecDescriptorList` collection exports) retired with the deletion sweep.
+ *
+ * Audit (parameterized codecs): every parameterized codec in this file is **parameter-stateless** — the params (`length`, `precision`, `precision`+`scale`, `values`) only inform the emit-path `renderOutputType` renderer or stay as JSON metadata. None of the runtime encode/decode/encodeJson/decodeJson conversions thread params into their behavior, so each `factory(_params)` returns a fresh codec constructed solely from
+ * `this` (the descriptor).
