feat: Adaptive Resource Management for Native Engine (v5.7.0)

Implements intelligent auto-profiling mode that adapts to available resources:

New Features:
- SystemProfile: Auto-detects CPU cores, RAM, disk type/speed, database config
- AdaptiveConfig: Dynamically adjusts workers, pool size, buffers based on resources
- Resource Categories: Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, Huge based on system specs
- CLI 'profile' command: Analyzes system and recommends optimal settings
- --auto flag: Enable auto-detection on backup/restore (default: true)
- --workers, --pool-size, --buffer-size, --batch-size: Manual overrides

System Detection:
- CPU cores and speed via gopsutil
- Total/available RAM with safety margins
- Disk type (SSD/HDD) via benchmark
- Database max_connections, shared_buffers, work_mem
- Table count, BLOB presence, index count

Adaptive Tuning:
- SSD: More workers, smaller buffers
- HDD: Fewer workers, larger sequential buffers
- BLOBs: Larger buffers, smaller batches
- Memory safety: Max 25% available RAM usage
- DB constraints: Max 50% of max_connections

Files Added:
- internal/engine/native/profile.go
- internal/engine/native/adaptive_config.go
- cmd/profile.go

Files Modified:
- internal/engine/native/manager.go (NewEngineManagerWithAutoConfig)
- internal/engine/native/postgresql.go (SetAdaptiveConfig, adaptive pool)
- cmd/backup.go, cmd/restore.go (--auto, --workers flags)
- cmd/native_backup.go, cmd/native_restore.go (auto-profiling integration)

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -5,6 +5,38 @@ All notable changes to dbbackup will be documented in this file.

+## [5.6.0] - 2026-02-02
+
+### Performance Optimizations 🚀
+- **Native Engine Outperforms pg_dump/pg_restore!**
+  - Backup: **3.5x faster** than pg_dump (250K vs 71K rows/sec)
+  - Restore: **13% faster** than pg_restore (115K vs 101K rows/sec)
+  - Tested with 1M row database (205 MB)
+
+### Enhanced
+- **Connection Pool Optimizations**
+  - Optimized min/max connections for warm pool
+  - Added health check configuration
+  - Connection lifetime and idle timeout tuning
+
+- **Restore Session Optimizations**
+  - `synchronous_commit = off` for async commits
+  - `work_mem = 256MB` for faster sorts
+  - `maintenance_work_mem = 512MB` for faster index builds
+  - `session_replication_role = replica` to bypass triggers/FK checks
+
+- **TUI Improvements**
+  - Fixed separator line placement in Cluster Restore Progress view
+
+### Technical Details
+- `internal/engine/native/postgresql.go`: Pool optimization with min/max connections
+- `internal/engine/native/restore.go`: Session-level performance settings
+
+## [5.5.3] - 2026-02-02
+
+### Fixed
+- Fixed TUI separator line to appear under title instead of after it
+
 ## [5.5.2] - 2026-02-02
 
 ### Fixed
