Thanks for working on timescaledb support! I think I remember that even when the PR used to work in the CI testing, it was failing for real users. Do you have a good testing setup outside of the CI?

Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate it. Yes, we have set up manual testing outside of the CI environment to ensure that everything works correctly for real users. This includes various scenarios and edge cases to verify robustness and reliability. Please let me know if there are any specific areas you’d like us to focus on or if you have any additional concerns.
