Add Portal Backend service to local-dev Docker Compose

[mushrafmim]

Summary

Adds the Portal Backend (PB) service to the local-dev Docker Compose stack so it starts automatically with docker compose up, alongside the other services, instead of requiring manual build/run and env var wiring.

Type of Change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
• Documentation update
• Refactoring (no functional changes)
• Performance improvement
• Other (please describe):

Changes Made

• Added a portal-backend service to compose.yml: builds from cmd/pb/Dockerfile, wires DB/IDP/PDP/audit env vars with local-dev defaults, and depends on health-checked postgres and thunderid.
• Fixed the postgres healthcheck in compose.yml to pass -d before the database name (pg_isready -U ... -d ...).
• Added portal_backend database creation to init-db.sql, alongside the existing pdp/consent_engine/orchestration_engine/audit databases.

Testing

• I have tested this change locally
• I have added unit tests for new functionality
• I have tested edge cases
• All existing tests pass

Additional Notes

Split out of feat/pb-schema-application-fields (originally bundled with an IDP-provisioning feature commit) so this compose wiring can be reviewed and merged independently. The application-code feature change is tracked separately.

Deployment Notes

Local-dev only — no production deployment impact.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The local Docker Compose stack now provisions the portal_backend database and starts a configured portal-backend service. The PostgreSQL healthcheck now passes the database through the -d option.

Changes

Portal Backend Compose Integration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Portal Backend database provisioning init-db.sql	The initialization script creates the portal_backend database if it does not already exist.
Portal Backend service wiring compose.yml	Compose adds the portal-backend service, configures database, IDP, PDP, authorization, and audit settings, and waits for healthy postgres and thunderid services. The PostgreSQL healthcheck uses the -d option.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 30701

Portal Backend can fail to start for local environments that reuse an existing PostgreSQL volume because its database is not created there. Add runtime database provisioning before relying on the new service.
