Run Plex Media Server with PostgreSQL instead of SQLite. Zero Plex modifications required.

100% Rust shim runtime. All C runtime code has been eliminated. The shim is now pure Rust, compiled to a single .dylib/.so.

712 tests passing across unit, integration, and compatibility suites
Full Rust runtime: all interpose, column access, step execution, and connection management in Rust
Module architecture: monolithic files split into focused submodules for maintainability
Deadlock fixes: recursive connection mutex, reduced lock hold times, lock-free logging fallback
Stack safety: heap-allocated thread-local buffers for Plex's 544K worker thread stacks
Duplicate stmt fix: SQLSTATE 42P05 detection, DEALLOCATE ALL at connection init (v0.9.40)
Stale stmt recovery: prepared statement cache auto-invalidated after PG restart via SQLSTATE 26000 (v0.9.39)
Pool auto-grow: pool automatically grows when threads exceed configured size (v0.9.36)
Single-row streaming mode for all READ queries (PQsetSingleRowMode) (v0.9.28)
