- read databases.csv with stable types (dtype=str, keep_default_na=False)
- validate database field: require '*' or concrete name (no empty/NaN)
- support Postgres cluster dumps via '*' entries (pg_dumpall)
- write SQL dumps atomically to avoid partial/empty files
- early-skip fully ignored volumes before creating backup directories
- update seed CLI to enforce new contract and update by (instance,database)
- adjust tests: sql dir naming + add E2E coverage for early-skip and '*' seeding
