**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

### Context
Recently, a user raised [this
issue](https://github.com/stack-auth/stack-auth/issues/1144), which
indicated that `tokenOverrides` were not being respected/used in the
`getUser()` function. If we trace the flow through this function, we see
`this._getSession -> this._getOrCreateTokenStore -> _createCookieHelper
-> createCookieHelper -> createNextCookieHelper -> await rscHeaders()`.
What this means is that even when a `requestLike tokenOverride` was
passed, we would not end up using it because the `createCookieHelper`
call occurs before the extant override checking logic in
`getOrCreateTokenStore`, and the `createCookieHelper` didn't check the
override but only the default `tokenStoreInit`. This caused the error to
propagate up.
### Summary of Changes
We check the `tokenStoreOverride` in the `createCookieHelper` function
now, preventing this issue from happening. We also add extra test
coverage to verify that overrides are respected, and don't overwrite the
default token store.
### Out of Scope Discussion
The original issue was raised with a `bun` runtime running `next.js`
code. There seems to be some incompatibility between `bun 1.3.8` and
`nextjs 15+`, not just with our backend but with fetching and working
with responses from any `nextjs` server.

### Summary of Changes
Previously, on the Swift SDK, the `signInWithOAuth` function wasn't
working. In this PR, we fix it by having the `getOAuthUrl` function to
actually redirect correctly. Note that to do so, we updated the
`validRedirectUrl` check on the backend to accept app native redirects
(from our new trusted url scheme). Another thing to note is that we
added functionality to the `TokenStore` abstraction to conditionally
refresh the access token that the user is trying to fetch if it is
expired/close to expiring if possible. `getOAuthUrl` will attempt to get
a valid access token, and thus will rely on our algorithm documented in
`utilities.md`.
The specs serve as the source of truth.
We go further and implement Apple Native sign in. To do so, we have it
hit a new route on the backend and verify the `jwtToken` retrieved by
the sdk against an Apple-provided set of `jwks`. We use jose to do so,
in line with the rest of the codebase.
We take this opportunity to refactor the oauth provider route owing to
the amount of duplicated logic. Additionally, to enable the apple sign
in, users will have to update the Apple authentication method modal on
the dashboard and add accepted bundle ids. These are identifiers for
projects, and we will check the `JWT` on the backend to make sure the
audience is set to an accepted bundleId.
We also update the Apple modal to be more informative.
### Using the new Features
To use the Apple native sign in, users will have to 1) sign up with an
apple developer account, 2) set up their bundleids for their projects by
connecting them to the apple developer account, 3) update the Stack-Auth
Authentication Methods dashboard apple modal with the relevant fields.
Then, trying to sign in with apple with our Swift SDK will use the apple
native sign in.
### UI Changes
Renamed the fields in the apple modal. Added a new field for bundle ids.
See below.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Security**
* Added client-side access checks on payments endpoints and expanded
customer-type handling (including a new "custom" type).
* **SDK / Client**
* Client interface methods now accept explicit request types
(client/server/admin) to route requests appropriately.
* **Server**
* New server-side product listing to support server requests and
caching.
* **Tests**
* E2E tests updated to use a fast sign-up flow and pass authentication
tokens for authorized requests.

### Summary of Changes
We would like to setup a payment settings page. Here, developers should
be able to toggle test mode, see their stripe connection status, and
adjust the payment method configs.
## Test Mode Toggle
This will exist in concert with the test mode banner.
## Stripe Connection Status
While users cannot see the page unless they create a stripe account,
they can still see it if they've created the stripe connected account
but haven't finished onboarding. This is a handy place for them to
finish their onboarding.
## Payment Methods
We would like developers using our payments feature to be able to set
what payment options should be made available to their users.
Consequently, we create a route and a page on the dashboard which hits
that route to update what payment options are made available. The UI
stores "pending changes" which represent updates to be made to the
payment method configs corresponding to that project's connected stripe
account. These are then sent to the backend, validated with a schema,
and then updated using stripe.
We also note that some payment methods have dependencies on others: for
example, the "apple pay" method cannot be enabled if the "debit/credit
cards" method is not enabled. We note the two cases where it is observed
to happen and raise an alert using `toast` to make it clear to the
developer, and make it extensible in case other dependencies are added
in the future. To ensure synchronization between the frontend dashboard
UI and the backend route handler on the payment method names, we have
both pull from a shared utility file. This ensures only one update will
need to be made.
**NOTE 1:** We chose to build our own component rather than using the
Stripe embedded component as the Stripe component is still in
pre-release mode.
**NOTE 2:** To disable specific payment methods for all our users, we
should update the platform account config in Stripe for stack-auth. This
will prevent said payment method from being made available to them.
**NOTE 3:** We skip the multi-account method config isolation test
because the stripe mock server does not support testing with multiple
accounts. However, the logic of the test has been verified with a real
stripe account.
### UI Demo
For this demo, I had a pre-created checkout link for a one-time purchase
of a product for 100$.
