test(v1.1.9): queue_e2e + invoke_e2e + retry_e2e + migration test

Four new test binaries, DB-gated via the established pool_or_skip()
pattern (returns Some(pool) when DATABASE_URL is set; prints a skip
notice and returns None otherwise — so plain `cargo test` stays green
locally while CI runs them).

crates/picloud/tests/queue_e2e.rs (4 tests):
  - queue_receive_acks_on_success: enqueue → consumer fires → KV
    marker observable → queue row deleted (ack worked)
  - queue_receive_dead_letters_after_max_attempts: throwing handler
    retries 3× via the dispatcher's compute_backoff path → dead_letters
    row written, queue row deleted
  - queue_one_consumer_per_queue_rejected: second trigger create for the
    same (app_id, queue_name) returns 4xx with the documented "already
    has a consumer trigger" message (advisory-lock guard works)
  - queue_visibility_timeout_reclaim: insert message with stale claim
    (claimed_at = NOW() - 60s, visibility_timeout = 5s); either the
    dispatcher re-claims after reclaim runs, or the claim clears

crates/picloud/tests/invoke_e2e.rs (4 tests):
  - invoke_by_name_same_app_returns_value: callee returns body.x+1;
    caller invokes by name and writes the result to KV (42 round-trips)
  - invoke_cross_app_rejects: callee in app_B, caller in app_A; error
    string contains "different app" or "CrossApp"
  - invoke_depth_limit_exceeds_cleanly: recursive script throws with
    "depth" in the message at the bound (Limits::trigger_depth_max=8)
  - invoke_async_enqueues_outbox_row: invoke_async returns execution_id,
    dispatcher fires the OutboxSourceKind::Invoke arm, callee marker
    appears

crates/picloud/tests/retry_e2e.rs (3 tests):
  - retry_run_eventually_succeeds_inside_http_handler: counter mutates
    across 3 retries through a real HTTP route, returns 3
  - retry_run_surfaces_last_error_after_max_attempts: max_attempts=2,
    always throws — caller's try/catch surfaces "boom"
  - retry_on_codes_filters_unmatched_errors: counter == 1 after a
    throw NOT in the codes list (immediate surface, no retry)

crates/manager-core/tests/migration_queue_messages.rs (4 tests):
  - queue_messages_table_exists_with_expected_columns: shape +
    nullability of every column
  - queue_trigger_details_table_exists: shape
  - queue_widens_trigger_kind_and_outbox_source_kind: triggers.kind
    CHECK admits 'queue'; outbox.source_kind admits 'invoke'
  - queue_messages_dispatch_index_is_partial: idx_queue_messages_dispatch
    has WHERE claim_token IS NULL (guards against future migrations
    accidentally dropping the partial)

All 15 tests pass clean skip when DATABASE_URL is unset. Workspace unit
suite remains at 432 passing (306 manager-core + 74 executor-core + 34
shared + 18 orchestrator-core).
