Fixed issue where Docker images using sql.js adapter returned boolean fields
as strings, causing is_trigger=0 to evaluate as true instead of false.
Changes:
- Added convertIntegerColumns() to sql.js adapter to convert SQLite integers
- Updated server.ts and node-repository.ts to use Number() conversion as backup
- Added test script to verify fix works with sql.js adapter
This fixes webhook, cron, interval, and emailReadImap nodes showing
isTrigger: false in Docker deployments.

Major optimization that reduces Docker image size by 87% and build time by 10x:
- Remove ALL n8n dependencies from runtime Docker image
- Add package.runtime.json with only 5 essential runtime deps
- Optimize Dockerfile to build TypeScript without n8n packages
- Add BuildKit optimizations with cache mounts
- Update documentation to highlight the improvements
Results:
- Image size: ~1.5GB → ~200MB (87% reduction)
- Build time: ~12 minutes → ~1-2 minutes
- No n8n version conflicts at runtime
- Better security with minimal attack surface
The key insight is that since we always rebuild the database locally
before deployment, the Docker runtime never needs n8n packages.
