fix(db): export Lock/Unlock helpers — fix unexported mu access

handlers_test.go (package handlers) referenced db.mu which is unexported.
Go forbids accessing unexported identifiers across package boundaries,
even from *_test.go files. The fix:

- postgres.go: add exported db.Lock() and db.Unlock() wrapper
  functions that acquire/release the internal mutex.
- handlers_test.go: replace db.mu.Lock/Unlock with db.Lock/Unlock.
- delegation_ledger_integration_test.go: same for mdb alias.

All 29 packages now compile and test pass.

-
-# Comprehensive Playwright E2E for the unified chat stack (desktop
-# ChatTab + mobile MobileChat). Runs on every PR that touches canvas,
-# workspace-server, or this workflow file.
-#
-# Architecture:
-#   1. Ephemeral Postgres + Redis (docker, unique container names)
-#   2. workspace-server built from source, started with
-#      MOLECULE_ENV=development (fail-open auth)
-#   3. canvas dev server (npm run dev) on :3000
-#   4. Playwright tests create workspaces via API, point them at an
-#      in-process echo runtime, and exercise the full send/receive
-#      round-trip through the browser.
-#
-# Parallel-safety: same pattern as e2e-api.yml — per-run container names
-# and ephemeral host ports so concurrent jobs on the host-network runner
-# don't collide.

- *
- *  - openclaw → `/agent-home` (the agent's identity/state — the
- *    user-facing interesting files for that runtime live in
- *    `~/.openclaw/` inside the container, which `/agent-home` maps to
- *    via the Phase 2b docker-exec backend).
- *  - everything else (claude-code, hermes, external-like, undefined)
- *    → `/configs` (the legacy default — managed config that flows
- *    through the per-runtime indirection in
- *    workspace-server/internal/handlers/template_files_eic.go).
- *
- *  When the runtime is undefined (legacy callers that don't thread
- *  `data` through, or a workspace whose runtime field hasn't loaded
- *  yet) the default is `/configs` — matches today's behaviour, no
- *  surprise.
- *
- *  Note on `/agent-home` pre-Phase-2b: the backend short-circuits
- *  with HTTP 501 and the canonical "implementation pending" body.
- *  The tab renders empty + the error banner explains. This is by
- *  design — lets us land the canvas UX before the backend ships,
- *  per the RFC's phased rollout. The 501 is graceful: it doesn't
- *  poison error toasts or generate "workspace not found" noise.

-//
-// Root cause: the runtime builds its AgentCard from config.name
-// (workspace/main.py:198), and config.name is read from the
-// CP-regenerated /configs/config.yaml whose `name:` field is the raw
-// workspace UUID — NOT the friendly name the operator sees. The friendly
-// name IS captured: POST /workspaces and PATCH /workspaces/:id (the
-// canvas Details tab) write it to the trusted workspaces.name DB column.
-// But /registry/register stores the runtime-supplied card verbatim
-// (registry.go: `agent_card = EXCLUDED.agent_card`), so the stored card
-// served at /.well-known/agent-card.json and returned to peers via
-// agent_card_url ends up with name = UUID, description = "", role = null.
-//
-// Fix shape (deliberately minimal, no contract weakening): when the
-// runtime-supplied card's `name` is empty or equals the workspace UUID
-// (the placeholder the runtime had no better value for), the PLATFORM —
-// not the agent — substitutes the friendly value from the trusted
-// workspaces row. Identity stays platform-controlled: the agent never
-// gains the ability to self-set its own name/role; the platform sources
-// it from the operator-controlled DB column. We only ever FILL gaps
-// (empty / UUID-placeholder); a card that already carries a real
-// friendly name is never downgraded.
-//
-// list_peers / the /registry/:id/peers endpoint already resolve display
-// names from workspaces.name directly (discovery.go / mcp_tools.go
