feat(versions)!: make localizeStatus true by default

[JarrodMFlesch]

Makes localizeStatus default to true for any localized collection or global with drafts enabled. The experimental flag that previously gated the feature is removed — users can now opt out per-collection/global by setting versions.drafts.localizeStatus: false.

Also fixes a broken Postgres migration that shipped with the original feature (#14667): all db.execute calls used the wrong signature (db.execute({ drizzle: db.drizzle, sql })) when db is the raw Drizzle instance — correct call is db.execute(sql\...`). Fixes inserted.length→inserted.rows.length` in the same file.

Breaking Changes

Any localized collection or global with drafts enabled will now have localizeStatus: true by default. Users who opted in via experimental.localizeStatus need to remove that flag. Users who do not want per-locale status must explicitly opt out.

 export default buildConfig({
-  experimental: {
-    localizeStatus: true,
-  },
   collections: [
     {
       slug: 'posts',
       versions: { drafts: true },
+      // localizeStatus is now true by default — opt out if needed:
+      // versions: { drafts: { localizeStatus: false } },
     },
   ],
 })

Codemod

To remove experimental.localizeStatus automatically:

npx @payloadcms/codemod --transform migrate-localize-status
