+
+  Tune PostgreSQL for throwaway environments (CI, local dev, test containers).
+  Disables durability guarantees to eliminate checkpoint/fsync I/O stalls,
+  which can make DDL-heavy workloads (e.g. provisioning) dramatically faster
+  and more reliable on slow disks.
+
+  Applies via ALTER SYSTEM + pg_reload_conf() (no restart required):

+    checkpoint_timeout = 30min

+
+  WARNING: These settings can cause data loss or corruption on crash.
+  Only use against disposable databases — never production.
+
+Options:
+  --help, -h              Show this help message
+  --yes                   Skip confirmation prompt
+  --reset                 Restore all settings above to server defaults
