SUPABASE CLI FIXES MEMORY BLOWUP ON LARGE DB DUMPS

The CLI was buffering entire piped outputs in memory instead of respecting backpressure, turning a routine `supabase db dump` into an OOM killer on large databases.

The root cause was straightforward and brutal: stdout writes ignored their return value, so Node had no signal to pause when the reader slowed down [1]. Large payloads piled up in the heap. The fix routes output through a proper Stdio sink that waits for drain events and handles stream errors, a change that's already shipping [2]. In the same sweep, the CLI now correctly fails `supabase test db` when zero tests execute [3], closing a gap where typo'd paths or empty directories would report success because pg_prove exits 0 even on NOTESTS verdicts. The TAP summary now gets watched for that specific result, and failures name the paths that were searched [4]. A third fix settles managed identity recovery races safely, preserving Git config and marker semantics across interrupted branch operations [5].
