+# psql var :'gt_pass' НЕ подставляется внутри DO $$..$$ — тело dollar-quote
+# уходит на сервер as-is. Используем \gexec в psql-стриме client-side.
+#
+# \gexec builds SQL client-side via quote_literal(:'gt_pass'), then executes it.
+# quote_literal escapes apostrophes and backslashes — no SQL injection possible.
+# If WHERE NOT EXISTS filters the row, \gexec receives no input → no-op, no error.
+# ON_ERROR_STOP=1 ensures \gexec-executed statements also cause psql to exit non-zero.
