Adds the Boss class — SELECT … FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED to atomically
claim, UPDATE state on completion. Retry semantics match pg-boss:
exponential backoff via retry_count / retry_delay / retry_backoff.
Forces client_encoding=UTF8 on every connection. The void2-db cluster
was initialized as SQL_ASCII so psycopg refuses to decode text by
default; UTF8 client_encoding works because the data is already UTF-8.
Node's pg lib is more forgiving and didn't surface this.
