Validation lives only in Postgres triggers. When the trigger raises, callers get an opaque pgErr string and have to substring-match to render anything useful. The bulk-apply path wants to *pre-flight* every row outside the txn — impossible without a Go-side validator. + +Phase 5c lifts the structural rules out of the trigger into `internal/itemwrite/` so: + +1. Callers fail fast with typed `ValidationError{Kind, Path, Detail}` instead of raw pgErr. +2. The bulk-apply path validates every row outside the txn; the txn only opens for inputs that already passed validation. +3.
