// node-postgres returns BIGINT (int8, OID 20) as a *string* by default, because
// a 64-bit integer can exceed JS Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER. Our int8 columns
// (duration_ms, file_size, …) are always well within 2^53, so a string here is
// pure footgun: it breaks any consumer that does arithmetic or comparison on the
// value (e.g. `duration_ms + x` silently string-concatenates, sorts go
// lexicographic, `!ms`/`Math.round` edge cases). Parse int8 to a real Number so
// the API always emits numeric duration_ms/file_size in its JSON.
//
// 20 = int8/bigint OID. Values above Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER would lose
// precision, but no column in this schema ever reaches that range.
