fix(dev): resolve postgres port conflict with local PostgreSQL installations

[deangoodmanson]

Summary

• Changes Docker postgres port binding from 5432:5432 to ${POSTGRES_PORT:-5432}:5432 to allow overriding the host-side port via environment variable
• Adds .env loading to scripts/test.sh so POSTGRES_PORT and POSTGRES_PASSWORD are picked up automatically
• Updates .env.example to document how to use POSTGRES_PORT=5433 when a local PostgreSQL installation conflicts on port 5432
• Adds troubleshooting docs for the local PostgreSQL port conflict scenario, including diagnosis and resolution steps

Problem

On developer machines with a local PostgreSQL installation, both the local server and Docker bind to port 5432. TCP connections from the host (used by cargo test and scripts/test.sh) silently hit the local server instead of Docker, causing role "kruxiaflow" does not exist errors.

This was discovered via lsof -i :5432 showing two processes on the same port.

Test plan

• Start Docker postgres: docker-compose up -d postgres
• Run tests: ./scripts/test.sh --skip-db-setup (with DATABASE_URL pointing to port 5432)
• Or run full suite: ./scripts/test.sh
• Confirm test_invalidate_cache_key_requires_auth and related cache handler tests pass
• On a machine with local PostgreSQL: set POSTGRES_PORT=5433 in .env, restart the postgres container (docker-compose up -d postgres), run ./scripts/test.sh, confirm tests pass with no role "kruxiaflow" does not exist error

I'd rather default to 5432 but I agree with having an override to other ports.

[deangoodmanson]

The defaults are now reset to 5432
The ports environment variable overrides are still included
The potential conflict between local and docker PostgreSQL is noted in the documentation

[deangoodmanson]

Updated in d7898d9 — reverted default back to 5432, kept the POSTGRES_PORT override. Updated the .env.example comment to explain the local-PG conflict scenario and how to opt in to using 5433.

Sonnet PR review 3/20/26:

PR #9 Review — fix(dev): resolve postgres port conflict with local PostgreSQL

Core fix is correct. The ${POSTGRES_PORT:-5432}:5432 approach in docker-compose and the .env loading in test.sh
work properly together. The main issues:

Medium

1. POSTGRES_PORT format inconsistency — REDIS_PORT and KRUXIAFLOW_PORT accept host:port format (e.g.
   127.0.0.1:6379) to control interface binding. The old POSTGRES_PORT did too. This PR drops that, silently
   changing the default PostgreSQL bind from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces). That's a mild security
   regression worth an explicit decision.

2. Unannounced platform: linux/amd64 — The diff adds this to postgres, redis, and kruxiaflow services. Not
   mentioned in the PR description. On M-series Macs this forces Rosetta 2 emulation, silently degrading
   performance. Needs to be called out and justified.

Low

3. Stale review thread — seanharrison's existing thread was substantively addressed (default is now 5432, not

5433. but not marked resolved.

4. Troubleshooting docs incomplete — The new troubleshooting section tells developers to manually set
   DATABASE_URL, but test.sh auto-constructs it when running DB setup. Confusing for the --skip-db-setup case.

5. Latent bug — If someone sets POSTGRES_PORT=127.0.0.1:5433 (copying the pattern from REDIS_PORT), test.sh would
   produce an invalid DATABASE_URL. Should guard against this or document clearly it's port-only.

Info

• Pre-existing: docs/testing.md CI example references postgres:15 and actions/checkout@v3 while the actual
  workflow uses postgres:17-bookworm and v4.
• Unrelated whitespace cleanup mixed into the diff adds noise.

The platform: linux/amd64 addition is the thing I'd push back on hardest before approving — it's the kind of
change that causes mysterious slowness on ARM machines with no obvious cause.
