Luke Tornquist 279a31daac buzz-search: read profile names without the profile_name_fields function (#9397)
## What

This is phase 1 of 2 for retiring the plpgsql function
`profile_name_fields(text)`. Its only caller, profile name search
(`search_profile_names`), now gets `name` and `display_name` from an
inline SQL expression (`PROFILE_NAME_FIELDS` in
`crates/buzz-search/src/query.rs`) instead.

The function's exception handler made unreadable kind:0 content have no
names rather than fail the search. The inline version keeps that
guarantee in two steps:

- **`pg_input_is_valid(content, 'jsonb')`** rejects the soft parse
errors: a `\^@` escape, a lone surrogate, a huge number, and malformed
JSON.
- **A bracket bound for deep nesting.** PostgreSQL's JSON parser is
recursive. Past about 10k levels at the default `max_stack_depth`, it
raises `stack depth limit exceeded`, and `pg_input_is_valid` does not
catch that. I confirmed this on PG 17: depth 10k is fine and 20k raises.
So content with more than 4096 `[` and `{` is never parsed and has no
names. The count bounds the depth. Ingest already rejects kind:0 content
nested deeper than 128 levels (serde_json), so this only matters for
content stored another way.

`OFFSET 0` keeps the parse from being copied into each reference to
`doc`, so each candidate row is parsed once, plus one validity pass. The
plpgsql function also parsed each row once.

**Behavior change (edge only):** a kind:0 with more than 4096 brackets,
even inside strings, is no longer findable by name. Real profiles don't
come close, and a `picture` data URL is base64 with no brackets.

`pg_input_is_valid` needs PostgreSQL 16 or later. CI runs 16, and the
dev compose runs 17.

**Phase 2 (not here):** a migration and desired-state change drops the
function, its `schema/functions/` file and its `schema.sql` entry once
this release has shipped.

## Tests

- `profile_names_survive_unparsable_content` already stores a `\^@`
profile, a lone-surrogate profile, a `1e1000000` profile and a 60k-deep
profile next to a plain one, and requires the search to return only the
plain one. It now also covers the bound itself: a profile with exactly
4096 brackets, all but one inside a string, is still found.
- Must-fail mutants, each run on Blox: bracket bound removed (the search
fails with a stack overflow), validity check removed, bound tightened by
one, and the string-type check loosened.

## What got simpler

Profile search no longer depends on a database function. Name extraction
lives next to the rest of the search SQL it feeds.

## Verification

Blox, at `be0db303ea90033cc2c37ac8f8f07c27f4b08e31` (clean tree):

| Gate | Result |
|---|---|
| `cargo fmt --all --check` | pass |
| `cargo clippy -p buzz-search --all-targets -- -D warnings` | pass |
| `cargo nextest run -p buzz-search --lib` | 4/4 |
| `scripts/postgres-test-run.sh -p buzz-search --tests -E
'test(/profile_names/)'` | 4/4 |
| Must-fail mutants (no bound, no validity check, bound tightened by
one, non-string names allowed) | 4/4 killed |

Probe on PostgreSQL 17.11: `pg_input_is_valid` returns false for `\^@`,
a lone surrogate, `1e1000000` and truncated JSON; nesting depth 10k is
valid; depth 20k raises `stack depth limit exceeded`. CI runs the full
Postgres lanes.
