PR 6: Database migration validation - fresh/upgrade test complete

✅ Database Setup:
- Created PostgreSQL kartselldb with kartsell user
- SSH port forward established (localhost:5432 → 178.104.200.7:5432)

✅ DbMigrator Fixes:
- Fixed migration path discovery (AppContext.BaseDirectory fallback)
- Added empty variable dictionary to suppress DbUp preprocessing
- Fixed PostgreSQL dollar quoting conflict ($policy$ → $$)

✅ Migration Results:
- All 21 migrations executed successfully
- Schema versions journal created and tracked
- 21 scripts processed in order, no rollback needed

Status: FRESH DATABASE DEPLOYMENT SUCCESSFUL
- kartselldb fully initialized with v16 schema
- Ready for application startup

Next: Deploy application and run integration tests
