fix(sync): refuse objects in catalog writes instead of storing [object Object] - #1144
Conversation
…t Object] The Turso binder now rejects objects and arrays. Stage 2's API import and stage 3's latest-episode update scrub Podcast Index values first, so an odd optional field becomes empty rather than failing the write.

with `String`; accept only strings or numbers and reject missing or object
values so invalid IDs cannot reach the UPDATE. Preserve the builder’s existing
failure behavior for broken IDs.

Summary
Stops the catalog sync from ever writing the text
[object Object]into catalog rows.Motivation
The sync's Turso client turned any object it was given into the string
[object Object]. 7,751 catalog rows hold that text in one or more columns (latest-episode chapters, transcripts and people, website links, episode counts and dates, and a few titles and descriptions). No current code path writes those values; they come from an earlier writer. Nothing stopped it from happening again.What changed
lib/turso.js).mapArgTypethrows aTypeErrorfor objects, arrays and functions instead of callingString()on them. Structured values must beJSON.stringify'd on purpose.turso.text()is unchanged.lib/catalog-rows.js). Stage 2's API import and stage 3's latest-episode update now build their values throughapiImportArgsandtipUpdateArgs. Optional text becomes''ornulland bad numbers become0, the same as a missing field, so one odd Podcast Index field can't fail a 50-show import batch or block a show's tip update on every run. A tip episode ID that isn't a non-empty string or a number fails the write, and stage 2 drops junk category values before joining the rest.scripts/README.mddocuments both.Behavior & compatibility

Test plan
npm run test:sync --prefix scripts: 121 tests. 11 are new: scalar binding, refusal of objects, arrays, dates and functions (nothing is sent when one statement in a batch is bad), import and tip-update column order and fallbacks, scrubbing of objects and stored[object Object]values, invalid tip episode IDs, and category maps with junk values.
