Streamlines the vendored pg (node-postgres) instrumentation onto Sentry's span APIs.

I found that some spans (pg.connect, pg-pool.connect) still use manual origin, this was the case prior so I kept them as-is but I think they should be changed in the future.

I added a bunch of real tests for various scenarios we were lacking.

Streamlines the vendored `pg` (node-postgres) instrumentation to use
Sentry's span APIs instead of the OpenTelemetry tracing APIs, following
the redis/ioredis precedent.

- Replace `tracer.startSpan` + `context.with(trace.setSpan(...))` with
  `startInactiveSpan`/`withActiveSpan`, `SpanStatusCode.ERROR` with
  `SPAN_STATUS_ERROR`, and drop `recordException` (a no-op in Sentry's
  pipeline) across the client query, client connect and pool connect paths.
- Drop the OTel metrics (operation duration + pool connection counters):
  the SDK wires up no `MeterProvider`, so `this.meter` is the no-op meter
  and every `record`/`add` was dead. Also removes the pool event-listener
  plumbing and the `db.client.connection.*` semconv.
- Drop the `SemconvStability` dual-emission and keep the OLD semconv
  attributes only (the STABLE path was env-gated behind
  `OTEL_SEMCONV_STABILITY_OPT_IN` and never enabled by the SDK).
- Remove config the SDK never passes (`requestHook`, `responseHook`,
  `enhancedDatabaseReporting`, `addSqlCommenterCommentToQueries`) and
  hardcode the always-on `requireParentSpan` behaviour; bake the
  `auto.db.otel.postgres` origin into the query span attributes (connect
  spans keep their `manual` origin, matching prior output).
- Drop the blanket eslint-disable and rely on the consolidated path entry.

Removes the config-passing `Postgres` unit test (its only pg-specific
behaviour, `ignoreConnectSpans` forwarding, is covered end-to-end) and
expands the real integration suite to cover every code path, matching the
redis/mysql2 precedent:

- error paths: a failing query and a refused connect assert
  `status: 'internal_error'`;
- `Pool`: a new scenario covers `pg-pool.connect` spans, callback-style
  queries, and connection-string credential masking on `db.connection_string`;
- prepared statements: a named query asserts the `db.postgresql.plan` attribute;
- `requireParentSpan`: a new scenario asserts queries/connects without an
  active parent span are not instrumented.

Connect callback omits non-Error failures

Low Severity

patchClientConnectCallback only marks the connect span as failed when the first callback argument is an Error. Query and pool connect callbacks still treat any truthy error value as a failure. A truthy non-Error connect failure ends the span without error status, so it can appear successful in traces.

Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 936f0c8. Configure here.

Replace trace.getSpan(context.active()) with getActiveSpan() for the
requireParentSpan check and parent detection, and translate the
context.bind callback binding to a withActiveSpan-based helper. The
connect-result promise no longer needs explicit binding since the SDK's
async context propagates across the caller's await.

Bug: The _getClientConnectPatch function passes this instead of this.connectionParameters to getSemanticAttributesFromConnection, causing incorrect db.name, db.user, and db.connection_string span attributes.
Severity: MEDIUM

Suggested Fix

In _getClientConnectPatch, change the call from utils.getSemanticAttributesFromConnection(this) to utils.getSemanticAttributesFromConnection(this.connectionParameters) to pass the correct connection parameters object.

Location:
packages/node/src/integrations/tracing/postgres/vendored/instrumentation.ts#L172

Potential issue: In `_getClientConnectPatch`, the `getSemanticAttributesFromConnection`
function is called with `this` (a `PgClientExtended` instance) instead of the expected
`this.connectionParameters` object. Because the `PgClientExtended` instance does not
have `database` and `user` properties at the top level, the resulting `pg.connect` span
will have missing `db.name` and `db.user` attributes. The `db.connection_string`
attribute will also be incorrect, defaulting to `'postgresql://localhost:5432/'`. This
degrades observability by providing incomplete and misleading data for database
connection spans.

Bug: The error check in patchedClientConnectCallback was changed to if (err instanceof Error), which is inconsistent with other callback patchers and less defensive than the standard if (err) check.
Severity: LOW

Suggested Fix

Revert the error check in patchedClientConnectCallback from if (err instanceof Error) back to if (err) to align with other callback patchers and follow standard Node.js conventions.

Location: packages/node/src/integrations/tracing/postgres/vendored/utils.ts#L232-L234

Potential issue: In `patchedClientConnectCallback`, error handling was changed from a
general truthiness check (`if (err)`) to a stricter type check (`if (err instanceof
Error)`). This creates an inconsistency with other callback patchers like
`patchCallback` and `patchCallbackPGPool`, which still use `if (err)`. While the `pg`
library is expected to pass an `Error` object, this change makes the error handling less
defensive and deviates from the standard Node.js callback pattern. If the library ever
passes a truthy, non-Error value, the span's error status will not be set.

Add a scenario that chains a query off connect() with .then() instead of
awaiting it, asserting the query span is still parented to the active
transaction. This pins that the trace context survives the connect
promise continuation after dropping the explicit OTel context.bind.

Postgres spans lack db op

Medium Severity

Query and connect spans created via startInactiveSpan no longer get sentry.op / op db. Previously, OpenTelemetry spans were exported through inference on db.system; native SentrySpan children use spanToJSON only, so missing op or SEMANTIC_ATTRIBUTE_SENTRY_OP stays unset unless set at creation.

Query span names use prefix

Medium Severity

Query spans are named with getQuerySpanName (for example pg.query:SELECT tests) while exported descriptions previously came from db.statement (the full SQL). After switching to native SentrySpan, getSpanJSON uses _name as description, so UI and tests expecting the statement text will see the prefixed operation name instead.

Vendored OTel instrumentations intentionally emit the old db.*/net.*
semantic conventions, whose local semconv constants carry the upstream
@deprecated JSDoc. The type-aware no-deprecated rule flagged every usage
as an error and failed lint. Downgrade it to a warning for the vendored
tracing paths so the intentional usage is surfaced without breaking CI.
