feat(progress): add UnifiedClusterProgress for combined backup/restore progress

- Single unified progress tracker replaces 3 separate callbacks
- Phase-based weighting: Extract(20%), Globals(5%), Databases(70%), Verify(5%)
- Real-time ETA calculation based on completion rate
- Per-database progress with byte-level tracking
- Thread-safe with mutex protection
- FormatStatus() and FormatBar() for display
- GetSnapshot() for safe state copying
- Full test coverage including thread safety

Example output:
[67%] DB 12/18: orders_db (2.4 GB / 3.1 GB) | Elapsed: 34m12s ETA: 17m30s

+### Added - PostgreSQL lock verification (CLI + preflight)
+- **`dbbackup verify-locks`** — new CLI command that probes PostgreSQL GUCs (`max_locks_per_transaction`, `max_connections`, `max_prepared_transactions`) and prints total lock capacity plus actionable restore guidance.
+- **Integrated into preflight checks** — preflight now warns/fails when lock settings are insufficient and provides exact remediation commands and recommended restore flags (e.g. `--jobs 1 --parallel-dbs 1`).
+- **Implemented in Go (replaces `verify_postgres_locks.sh`)** with robust parsing, sudo/`psql` fallback and unit-tested decision logic.
+- **Files:** `cmd/verify_locks.go`, `internal/checks/locks.go`, `internal/checks/locks_test.go`, `internal/checks/preflight.go`.
+- **Why:** Prevents repeated parallel-restore failures by surfacing lock-capacity issues early and providing bulletproof guidance.

+
+2. **Line 1274**: `e.cfg.ClusterParallelism = 1`
+   - Wird gesetzt BEVOR Restore Loop
+
+3. **Line 1344**: `parallelism := e.cfg.ClusterParallelism`
+   - Liest den Wert 1
+
+4. **Line 1383**: `semaphore := make(chan struct{}, 1)`
+   - Channel Size = 1 = nur 1 DB parallel
+
+5. **Line 337**: `Parallel: 1`
+   - Nur 1 Worker per DB
+
+6. **Line 368+**: Phased Restore für BLOBs
+   - 3 kleine Phasen statt 1 große
+
+**MATHEMATIK:**
+- 1 DB × 1 Worker × ~1000 locks = 1000 locks
+- Available = 4096 locks
+- **75% HEADROOM**

+- `max_locks_per_transaction = 4096`
+- Cluster restore failed nach 4+ Stunden

+#### 1. PREFLIGHT CHECK (Line 1249-1283)

+#### 2. RESTORE LOOP START (Line 1344)
+```go
+parallelism := e.cfg.ClusterParallelism  // Reads 1
+semaphore := make(chan struct{}, parallelism)  // Size 1
+```
+
+**Resultat:** Nur 1 Database zur Zeit wird restored

+}
+```
+
+**Resultat:** Nur 1 Worker pro Database

+### LOCK USAGE BERECHNUNG
+
+**OHNE Fix (aktuell):**
+- ClusterParallelism = 2 (2 DBs gleichzeitig)
+- Parallel = 4 (4 workers per DB)
+- Total workers = 2 × 4 = 8
+- Locks per worker = ~8192 (bei BLOBs)
+- **Total locks needed = 8 × 8192 = 65536+**
+- Available = 4096
+- **RESULT: OUT OF SHARED MEMORY** ❌
+
+**MIT Fix:**
+- ClusterParallelism = 1 (1 DB zur Zeit)
+- Parallel = 1 (1 worker)
+- Total workers = 1 × 1 = 1
+- Locks per worker = ~8192
+- **Total locks needed = 8192**
+- Available = 4096
+- Wait... das könnte immer noch zu wenig sein!
+
+### SHIT - ICH MUSS NOCH WAS FIXEN!
+
+Eine einzelne Database mit BLOBs kann 8192+ locks brauchen, aber wir haben nur 4096!
+
+Die Lösung: **PHASED RESTORE** für BLOBs!
+
+Line 328-332 zeigt: `checkDumpHasLargeObjects()` erkennt BLOBs und nutzt dann `restorePostgreSQLDumpPhased()` statt standard restore.

+# Lock Debugging Feature
+
+## Overview
+
+The `--debug-locks` flag provides complete visibility into the lock protection system introduced in v3.42.82. This eliminates the need for blind troubleshooting when diagnosing lock exhaustion issues.
+
+## Problem
+
+When PostgreSQL lock exhaustion occurs during restore:
+- User sees "out of shared memory" error after 7 hours
+- No visibility into why Large DB Guard chose conservative mode  
+- Unknown whether lock boost attempts succeeded
+- Unclear what actions are required to fix the issue
+- Requires 14 days of troubleshooting to understand the problem
+
+## Solution
+
+New `--debug-locks` flag captures every decision point in the lock protection system with detailed logging prefixed by 🔍 [LOCK-DEBUG].
+
+## Usage
+
+### CLI
+```bash
+# Single database restore with lock debugging
+dbbackup restore single mydb.dump --debug-locks --confirm
+
+# Cluster restore with lock debugging  
+dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --debug-locks --confirm
+
+# Can also use global flag
+dbbackup --debug-locks restore cluster backup.tar.gz --confirm
+```
+
+### TUI (Interactive Mode)
+```bash
+dbbackup  # Start interactive mode
+# Navigate to restore operation
+# Select your archive
+# Press 'l' to toggle lock debugging (🔍 icon appears when enabled)
+# Press Enter to proceed
+```
+
+## What Gets Logged
+
+### 1. Strategy Analysis Entry Point

+## Example Workflow
+
+### Scenario: Lock Exhaustion on New System
+
+```bash
+# Step 1: Run restore with lock debugging enabled
+dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --debug-locks --confirm
+
+# Output shows:
+# 🔍 [LOCK-DEBUG] Guard decision: CONSERVATIVE mode
+#     current_locks=2048, required=4096
+#     verdict="ABORT - Manual restart required"
+
+# Step 2: Follow the actionable instructions
+sudo -u postgres psql -c "ALTER SYSTEM SET max_locks_per_transaction = 4096;"
+sudo systemctl restart postgresql
+
+# Step 3: Verify the change
+sudo -u postgres psql -c "SHOW max_locks_per_transaction;"
+# Output: 4096
+
+# Step 4: Retry restore (can disable debug now)
+dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --confirm
+
+# Success! Restore proceeds with verified lock protection
+```
+
+## When to Use
+
+### Enable Lock Debugging When:
+- Diagnosing lock exhaustion failures
+- Understanding why conservative mode was triggered
+- Verifying lock boost attempts worked
+- Troubleshooting "out of shared memory" errors  
+- Setting up restore on new systems with unknown lock config
+- Documenting lock requirements for compliance/security
+
+### Leave Disabled For:
+- Normal production restores (cleaner logs)
+- Scripted/automated restores (less noise)
+- When lock config is known to be sufficient
+- When restore performance is critical
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### Configuration
+- **Config Field:** `cfg.DebugLocks` (bool)
+- **CLI Flag:** `--debug-locks` (persistent flag on root command)
+- **TUI Toggle:** Press 'l' in restore preview screen
+- **Default:** `false` (opt-in only)
+
+### Files Modified
+- `internal/config/config.go` - Added DebugLocks field
+- `cmd/root.go` - Added --debug-locks persistent flag
+- `cmd/restore.go` - Wired flag to single/cluster restore commands
+- `internal/restore/large_db_guard.go` - 20+ debug log points
+- `internal/restore/engine.go` - 15+ debug log points in boost logic
+- `internal/tui/restore_preview.go` - 'l' key toggle with 🔍 icon
+
+### Log Locations
+All lock debug logs go to the configured logger (usually syslog or file) with level INFO. The 🔍 [LOCK-DEBUG] prefix makes them easy to grep:
+
+```bash
+# Filter lock debug logs
+journalctl -u dbbackup | grep 'LOCK-DEBUG'
+
+# Or in log files
+grep 'LOCK-DEBUG' /var/log/dbbackup.log
+```
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+- ✅ No breaking changes
+- ✅ Flag defaults to false (no output unless enabled)
+- ✅ Existing scripts continue to work unchanged
+- ✅ TUI users get new 'l' toggle automatically
+- ✅ CLI users can add --debug-locks when needed
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+Negligible - the debug logging only adds:
+- ~5 database queries (SHOW commands)
+- ~10 conditional if statements checking cfg.DebugLocks
+- ~50KB of additional log output when enabled
+- No impact on restore performance itself
+
+## Relationship to v3.42.82
+
+This feature completes the lock protection system:
+
+**v3.42.82 (Protection):**
+- Fixed Guard to always force conservative mode if max_locks < 4096
+- Fixed engine to abort restore if lock boost fails  
+- Ensures no path allows 7-hour failures
+
+**v3.42.83 (Visibility):**
+- Shows why Guard chose conservative mode
+- Displays lock config that was detected
+- Tracks boost attempts and outcomes
+- Explains why restore was aborted
+
+Together: Bulletproof protection + complete transparency.
+
+## Deployment
+
+1. Update to v3.42.83:
+   ```bash
+   wget https://github.com/PlusOne/dbbackup/releases/download/v3.42.83/dbbackup_linux_amd64
+   chmod +x dbbackup_linux_amd64
+   sudo mv dbbackup_linux_amd64 /usr/local/bin/dbbackup
+   ```
+
+2. Test lock debugging:
+   ```bash
+   dbbackup restore cluster test_backup.tar.gz --debug-locks --dry-run
+   ```
+
+3. Enable for production if diagnosing issues:
+   ```bash
+   dbbackup restore cluster production_backup.tar.gz --debug-locks --confirm
+   ```
+
+## Support
+
+For issues related to lock debugging:
+- Check logs for 🔍 [LOCK-DEBUG] entries
+- Verify PostgreSQL version supports ALTER SYSTEM (9.4+)
+- Ensure user has SUPERUSER role for ALTER SYSTEM
+- Check systemd/init scripts can restart PostgreSQL
+
+Related documentation:
+- verify_postgres_locks.sh - Script to check lock configuration
+- v3.42.82 release notes - Lock exhaustion bug fixes
