docs: rewrite manifest description as a capability-focused tagline - #19
Merged
Conversation
The old description ("PostgreSQL plugin driver for Tabularis (parity
implementation)") was internal dev-team language that meant nothing to
an end user browsing the registry. Rewrote it to list actual
capabilities (schema browsing, EXPLAIN plans, type-aware row editing,
DDL generation), matching the style of the strongest sibling plugin
descriptions already on the registry (mongodb, firestore). Confirmed
under the manifest schema's 280-char cap (260 chars).
Also synced the GitHub repo's own description field to match, since it
was still carrying the old wording.

Continuation of the beta line after PR #20 (absolute image URLs in README, fixing broken images on the Tabularium registry page) and the carried-forward PR #19 description rewrite. Registry-listed release. Verified: .tabularium re-validated clean against the live registry schema; cargo build/test (85/85)/clippy/fmt all pass; markdownlint clean.

Summary
The manifest's
descriptionfield ("PostgreSQL plugin driver for Tabularis (parity implementation)") was internal dev-team language left over from the Phase 1 migration — meaningless to an end user browsing the Tabularium registry. Rewrote it as a capability-focused tagline, matching the style of the strongest sibling plugin descriptions already on the registry (mongodb,firestore):260 characters, confirmed under the manifest schema's 280-char cap.
Also synced the GitHub repo's own description field (
gh repo edit --description) to match — it was still carrying the old wording, visible on the org page, search results, and clone info.Context
This plugin is now live on the Tabularium registry at
/plugins/postgresql(submitted and confirmed working this session — verified the release webhook via a signed manual replay of the realv1.0.0-beta.5release event, since GitHub has no built-in way to send a syntheticreleaseevent for testing). The registry currently mirrors the old description verbatim, so this change won't take effect there until the next release webhook fires or the manifest is refreshed from the registry's/adminpanel.Verification
