LGTM, maybe this is worth a line in AGENTS.md to steer agents this direction?
I just noticed while reading our Rust crate's README that the use of "PostgreSQL" in documentation is a dead to rights giveaway that everything is LLM-written. There's no correct form of "Postgres" versus "PostgreSQL", but most people in the know (so to speak) tend to write just "Postgres" and IMO it reads more fluently, though of course this is subjective. Here, go through all our public-facing docs and descriptions and convert uses of "PostgreSQL" to "Postgres".
