Quick start: Neon database

The biggest unlock. Sign up at neon.tech, create a project called curb-prod, copy the pooled connection string, then run from your terminal:

cd ~/brcg/curb
export VERCEL_TOKEN=vcp_...
bin/setup-neon.sh "postgresql://user:pass@ep-xxx.neon.tech/curb?sslmode=require"

The script applies the schema, runs the Black Cow seed, sets DATABASE_URL in Vercel (encrypted), and triggers a production redeploy. About 90 seconds end to end.
