+## Rebuilds affected indexes and refreshes recorded collation versions after an

+## a boot service); the exit code is the signal: 0 = done / nothing to do,
+## 1 = something failed. Per-statement errors don't abort — we fix what we can,
+## then exit non-zero (like the sibling pg_upgrade scripts). Reindex runs BEFORE
+## refresh so a stale index is never masked by an updated catalog; a failed reindex
+## skips that database's refresh to preserve the signal.
+##
+## SECURITY: object names never reach the shell. Enumeration returns integer OIDs
+## only; DDL is built and run server-side via format('%I',...) + \gexec, so a
+## hostile collation/index name (any user with CREATE on a schema) can't inject a
+## psql meta-command (\!) to get a root shell via this script's sudoers grant.
