🐛 fix(claim): resolve concurrency race condition in grantFreeClaimItem

[ShafinNigamana]

What does this PR do?

Resolves a concurrency race condition in the grantFreeClaimItem API by converting the check-then-insert flow into an atomic operation:

1. Database Migration: Adds a partial unique index on the purchases table for free claims (provider = 'free') on (developer_id, item_id).
2. Atomic Logic: Updates grantFreeClaimItem in src/lib/items.ts to perform a single atomic upsert with ignoreDuplicates: true and conflict targets.
3. Identifier Extensibility: Formats the provider_tx_id as free_claim_${developerId}_${FREE_CLAIM_ITEM} to ensure unique transaction identifiers per user and item.
4. Unit Tests: Adds pure unit tests in src/lib/__tests__/claim-free-item-atomic.test.ts to verify the concurrency and idempotency guard behavior.

Hi @ShafinNigamana,

Thank you for your pull request! We noticed a database execution issue with this implementation.

The SQL migration adds a partial unique index:

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_purchases_unique_free
  ON purchases (developer_id, item_id)
  WHERE provider = 'free';

Because this index is partial, performing a Supabase/PostgREST upsert with onConflict: "developer_id,item_id" compiles to a Postgres ON CONFLICT (developer_id, item_id) statement which does not specify the WHERE condition. Postgres rejects this with:
ERROR: there is no unique or exclusion constraint matching the ON CONFLICT specification (code 42P10)

This causes all free claim calls to fail with a database error. Please update the implementation (e.g. by using a standard insert or using the provider_tx_id column as the conflict target, which has a non-partial unique index).

Hi @Ixotic27,

Thank you for the review and explanation! I have updated the implementation on the 669-concurrency-race-grant-free branch to address this database issue.

Changes Made:

• Conflict Target Redirection: Updated grantFreeClaimItem in src/lib/items.ts to target provider_tx_id (onConflict: "provider_tx_id") instead of the partial constraint on (developer_id, item_id).
• Since provider_tx_id is formatted as free_claim_${developerId}_${FREE_CLAIM_ITEM} (enforcing single-use per developer and item) and carries a standard unique constraint, the atomic upsert with ignoreDuplicates: true now runs without any database exceptions.
