feat(mt#528): Deprecate and remove sessiondb configuration block

[edobry]

Implement sessiondb to persistence configuration migration

This PR implements a comprehensive migration system to deprecate the legacy sessiondb: configuration in favor of the modern persistence: configuration, completing the configuration unification started in mt#407.

Summary

Provides a complete migration path from legacy sessiondb: configuration to the new unified persistence: configuration, with backward compatibility, clear deprecation warnings, and comprehensive tooling.

Changes

Added

• Configuration migration utility (src/utils/config-migration.ts)

  • Converts existing sessiondb: blocks to persistence: blocks
  • Handles PostgreSQL and SQLite backend configurations
  • Validates migration equivalence and provides detailed feedback

• minsky config migrate command (src/commands/config/migrate.ts)

  • Auto-detects configuration files (.minsky/config.yaml, etc.)
  • Provides dry-run mode for safe preview of changes
  • Creates automatic backups before migration
  • Includes validation to ensure migrated configuration works

• Comprehensive deprecation timeline (docs/sessiondb-deprecation-timeline.md)

  • 3-phase deprecation plan (Soft → Hard → Complete removal)
  • Clear migration instructions and examples
  • Configuration mapping between old and new formats

Changed

• Enhanced deprecation warnings in PersistenceService and CLI utilities

  • Clear warnings when sessiondb: configuration is detected
  • Actionable instructions directing users to migration command
  • Future-dated warnings about planned removal

• Updated documentation to use persistence: configuration examples

  • docs/configuration-guide.md - Updated CLI examples and environment variables
  • docs/repository-configuration.md - Migrated all configuration examples

Configuration Mapping

Before (legacy)

  backend: postgres
  connectionString: "postgresql://user:pass@host/db"
    path: "/path/to/sessions.db"

After (modern)

  backend: postgres
    connectionString: "postgresql://user:pass@host/db"
    maxConnections: 10
    connectTimeout: 30000
    dbPath: "/path/to/sessions.db"

Testing

• Full backward compatibility maintained - existing configurations continue to work
• Migration utility handles all edge cases (nested configs, legacy fields, etc.)
• Comprehensive validation ensures no data loss during migration
• Both configuration formats tested and supported during transition

Usage

# Preview migration changes
minsky config migrate --dry-run

# Perform migration with backup (recommended)  
minsky config migrate

# Validate migrated configuration
minsky config migrate --validate

Breaking Changes

None - this is a pure addition with full backward compatibility. Legacy sessiondb: configurations continue to work with deprecation warnings.

Migration Timeline

• Phase 1 (Current): Soft deprecation with warnings and migration tooling
• Phase 2 (Next major release): Hard deprecation - configs fail to start
• Phase 3 (Future): Complete removal of legacy support
