ConnorYoh f15832b2bb chore(saas): make schema ownership explicit and enforce it (#7489)
## The problem

The SaaS database has two writers and always has: the Supabase
migrations in the SaaS repo, and Hibernate's `ddl-auto`. That was a
convention rather than a rule, and it leaked twice.

- An older `ddl-auto` run widened `team_memberships.role` to
varchar(255), which needed [a dedicated
migration](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF-SaaS/blob/v3/supabase/migrations/20260804000000_fix_team_memberships_role_varchar50.sql)
to repair, because RLS policies depended on the column.
- `payg_instance_usage` shipped with an entity and **no migration**, and
nobody noticed for months — staging already had the table from an
earlier `ddl-auto` run. It surfaced only when a fresh preview branch,
built from migrations alone, threw `relation does not exist`.

Both are the same bug: nobody had to *say* who owned a table, so the
answer got decided by accident.

## The fix

`SaasSchemaOwnership` is the register — **29 migration-owned, 29
inherited** and left to Hibernate.

`MigrationOwnedSchemaFilter` applies it via Hibernate's
`hbm2ddl.schema_filter_provider`, wired on the **saas profile only**.
Hibernate is never shown a migration-owned table, so it cannot create,
alter, drop or truncate one whatever `ddl-auto` is set to. Inherited
tables stay managed, so a fresh preview branch still heals itself on
first boot. Self-hosted is untouched — there Hibernate rightly owns
everything.

**Why a filter rather than just `ddl-auto=none`:** off, and a fresh
branch is missing the 29 inherited tables. On, and Hibernate can reach
the other 29. The filter is what lets both be true at once.

**Why per-table, not per-schema:** Hibernate's schema management runs
over every mapped entity regardless of namespace. Moving SaaS tables to
their own schema would *not* by itself keep Hibernate out of them —
worth knowing, because that was the intuitive fix and it doesn't work.

## The part that makes it stick

`SaasSchemaOwnershipTest` makes the register binding: every `@Entity` on
the SaaS classpath must appear in exactly one set, so **a new entity
fails the build until someone states who owns its table**. That's the
forcing function that would have caught `payg_instance_usage`.

I verified it bites rather than assuming it — removing a single entry
fails with:

```
These entity tables are not declared in SaasSchemaOwnership, so nobody owns them.
Offending tables -> entities: [policies (stirling.software.proprietary.policy.store.PolicyEntity)]
```

naming both the table and the class, which is what the next person
actually needs.

## One debatable call

The **validate** filter excludes them too. Letting validation through
would flag drift, which is genuinely useful — but `ddl-auto=validate`
fails startup, and it would fail on differences we've deliberately
accepted (`ai_create_sessions` carries columns from a reverted Typst
feature that nothing maps). A boot failure over a table we chose not to
manage is noise. Argued in the javadoc; happy to flip it if you'd rather
have the signal.

## Dependency

Depends on
[Stirling-PDF-SaaS#324](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF-SaaS/pull/324),
which adds migrations for the four SaaS-owned tables that had none.
They're listed here as migration-owned on that basis, so #324 should
land first.

Companion to
[#7483](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/pull/7483)
(dev/staging profiles with per-profile `ddl-auto`).

## Verification

`:saas:test` green including the 5 new tests, `spotlessCheck` green, and
the mutation check above.
