What is the main purpose of the Pgrust project, how is disk compatibility with existing PostgreSQL ensured, and how is artificial intelligence-supported programming used in the development of the project? Tell us about the compatibility of the current version of Pgrust with Postgres 18.3 and its success in regression testing.
