+-- | PGMQ adapter for the Shibuya queue processing framework.
+--
+-- This adapter integrates with [pgmq](https://github.com/tembo-io/pgmq)
+-- (PostgreSQL Message Queue) using the pgmq-hs client library.
+--
+-- == Example Usage
+--
+-- @
+-- import Shibuya.App (runApp, QueueProcessor (..))
+-- import Shibuya.Adapter.Pgmq
+-- import Pgmq.Effectful (runPgmq)
+-- import Hasql.Pool qualified as Pool
+--
+-- main :: IO ()
+-- main = do
+--   pool <- Pool.acquire 10 Nothing connectionSettings
+--   case parseQueueName "orders" of
+--     Left err -> print err
+--     Right queueName -> do
+--       let config = defaultConfig queueName
+--       runEff
+--         . runPgmq pool
+--         $ do
+--             adapter <- pgmqAdapter config
+--             result <- runApp IgnoreFailures 100
+--               [ (ProcessorId "orders", QueueProcessor adapter handleOrder)
+--               ]
+--             -- ...
+-- @
+--
+-- == Message Lifecycle
+--
+-- 1. Messages are read from pgmq with a visibility timeout
+-- 2. During processing, messages are invisible to other consumers
+-- 3. On 'AckOk', messages are deleted from the queue
+-- 4. On 'AckRetry', visibility timeout is extended
+-- 5. On 'AckDeadLetter', messages are archived or sent to DLQ
+-- 6. On 'AckHalt', visibility timeout is extended and processor stops
+--
+-- == Retry Handling
+--
+-- pgmq tracks retry attempts via the 'readCount' field. When a message's
+-- 'readCount' exceeds 'maxRetries' in the config, it is automatically
+-- dead-lettered before being passed to the handler.
+--
+-- == FIFO Support
+--
+-- For ordered message processing, configure 'fifoConfig'. Messages are
+-- grouped by the @x-pgmq-group@ header. Two strategies are available:
+--
+-- * 'ThroughputOptimized': Fill batches from the same group (SQS-like)
+-- * 'RoundRobin': Fair distribution across groups
