### Summary of Changes
Just bumped up polling, removed unnecessary wait checks in tests that
don't need them. Minor changes, not an exhaustive list of flaky test
fixes
Note that importing a function into a file B that was exported from a
test file A causes vitest to see all the tests in test file A as being
under file B. This messes up CI and makes it harder to track failing
tests.

**This PR revolves around the following components**
1. Sequencer - sequences the updates in the internal db
2. Poller - polls for the latest updates to sync with the external db
3. Outgoing Request Handler - essentially a trigger that can make http
requests based on a change in the internal db
4. Sync Engine - syncs with the latest changes from the internal db to
the external db
**What has been done**
- Added a global sequence id for ProjectUser, ContactChannel and
DeletedRow.
- Added the deletedRow table to keep track of the rows that were deleted
across ProjectUser and ContactChannel.
- Added the OutgoingRequest table to keep track of the outgoing requests
- Added function for the sequencer to call to sequence updates
- Added a sequencer that sequences all the changes in the internal db
every 50 ms
- Added a poller that polls for the latest changes in the internal db
every 50 ms, and adds to a queue
- Added a Vercel cron that calls sequencer and poller every minute
- Added a queue that fulfills the outgoing requests by making http calls
(for external db sync, it calls the sync engine endpoint)
- Added a sync engine that uses the defined sql mapping query in the
user's schema to pull in the changes for the user, and sync them with
the external db
- Added tests to test out each functionality
**How to review this PR:**
1. Review the migrations (sequence id, deletedRow, triggers, backlog
sync) (all files created under the migrations folder)
2. Review sequencer
3. Review poller
4. Review the changes in schema
5. Review sync-engine (the function, and it's helper file)
6. Review the schema changes, and query mappings
7. Review the tests (basic, advanced and race, along with the helper
file)
8. Review the changes made in Dockerfile to support local testing using
the postgres docker
<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---
> [!NOTE]
> Introduces a cron-driven external DB sync pipeline with global
sequencing, internal poller and webhook sync engine, new DB
tables/functions, config schema/mappings, and comprehensive e2e tests.
>
> - **Database (Prisma/Migrations)**:
> - Add global sequence (`global_seq_id`) and
`sequenceId`/`shouldUpdateSequenceId` to `ProjectUser`,
`ContactChannel`, `DeletedRow` with partial indexes.
> - Create `DeletedRow` (capture deletes) and `OutgoingRequest` (queue)
tables; add unique/indexes.
> - Add triggers/functions: `log_deleted_row`,
`reset_sequence_id_on_update`, `backfill_null_sequence_ids`,
`enqueue_tenant_sync`.
> - **Backend/API**:
> - New internal routes: `GET
/api/latest/internal/external-db-sync/sequencer`, `GET /poller`, `POST
/sync-engine` (Upstash-verified) for sync orchestration.
> - Add cron wiring: `vercel.json` schedules and local
`scripts/run-cron-jobs.ts`; start in dev via `dev` script.
> - Tweak route handler (remove noisy logging) without behavior change.
> - **Sync Engine**:
> - Implement `src/lib/external-db-sync.ts` to read tenant mappings and
upsert to external Postgres (schema bootstrap, param checks,
sequencing).
> - Add default mappings `DEFAULT_DB_SYNC_MAPPINGS` and config schema
`dbSync.externalDatabases` in shared config.
> - **Testing/Infra**:
> - Add extensive e2e tests (basics, advanced, race conditions) for
sequencing, idempotency, deletes, pagination, multi-mapping, and
permissions.
> - Docker compose: add `external-db-test` Postgres for tests; e2e deps
for `pg` types.

## High-level PR Summary
This PR changes the default development ports for several background
services to avoid conflicts. PostgreSQL moves from port `5432` to
`8128`, Inbucket SMTP from `2500` to `8129`, Inbucket POP3 from `1100`
to `8130`, and the OpenTelemetry collector from `4318` to `8131`. All
references across configuration files, Docker Compose setups,
environment files, CI/CD workflows, test files, and documentation have
been updated to reflect these new port assignments. A knowledge base
document has been added to document the new port mappings.

## High-level PR Summary
This PR improves email testing in the end-to-end test suite by adding a
new `waitForMessagesWithSubject` helper method to the `Mailbox` class.
This method replaces the previous pattern of using arbitrary wait times
(e.g., `wait(2000)`) followed by fetching and finding messages, which
could lead to flaky tests. The new approach implements a polling
mechanism that waits until messages with the specified subject appear,
with a reasonable timeout. The PR updates all email-related tests to use
this new helper method, making the tests more reliable and less
dependent on timing assumptions.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Tests**
* More reliable email end-to-end tests by waiting for messages by
subject instead of fixed delays and manual polling.
* Multi-recipient scenarios now independently confirm delivery for each
user.
* Switched to snapshot-style assertions capturing full message metadata
for clearer, more stable verification.
* Unsubscribe email tests now wait deterministically for delivery before
validating links.
* **Chores**
* Mailbox handling improved to reduce flakiness and repeated network
calls.
