Parth e7d75c3b05 Rewrite Python comments in Google developer documentation style (#12)
* Rewrite comments in Google developer documentation style

Rewrite the comments and docstrings across the backend core modules so they
read plainly. The previous prose was accurate but dense and figurative, which
made it slow to skim.

Applies the Google developer documentation style guide: short sentences, active
voice, present tense, American spelling, and no metaphors, idioms, or
rhetorical asides. Replaces em-dash chains with separate sentences.

"""context_snapshot, stored compressed.
The column makes up 89% of the database, and the free tier allows only
512 MB. Deferring the column already solved the read cost, so this is
about the storage ceiling. Postgres already TOASTs the column and gets
only a 1.7x ratio, because pglz favors fast decompression for data a query
might filter on. Nothing ever filters on an assembled prompt.
Three things must hold, and only the first is obvious:
* What goes in comes back out exactly, including a snapshot written before
the conversion and one that is NULL.
* The model still hands callers a dict, so no call site changes.
* Migration 44 drops the original column, so the backfill is the one
destructive step in this file. It must convert every row or abort.
