Branchly: migrate on a branch, not on production

In DevStudio projects we evolve the Prisma schema on PostgreSQL in Branchly — a separate database branch (like Git) for features, staging, and migration tests. Production gets prisma migrate deploy only after review; up to 5 parallel branches make safe testing without touching client data. The app connects via DATABASE_URL from the Branchly panel; runtime runs on DevStudioIT Cloud.
