chore(release): update package version to 1.0.64

bun's pgdialect overrides Field.Scan/Append with its own slice-only array
handling whenever the tag's type: value ends in "[]", clobbering the
sql.Scanner/driver.Valuer implemented on SqlXxxArray wrapper types and
causing "bun: Scan(unsupported sqltypes.SqlStringArray)" at query time.
Emit the underscore-prefixed internal type name (e.g. _text) instead,
which is DDL-valid but doesn't end in "[]" so bun leaves our scanner alone.

+Assets are described by YAML manifests (assets.yaml) colocated with the files.
+Each manifest entry specifies the file to load and the SQL call to execute.
+File bytes are bound as native pgx parameters — never as SQL text literals —
+so binary files stay byte-exact with no size or encoding limitations.
+
+Manifests must live in directories that follow the naming pattern used by
+relspec scripts:
+  {priority}_{sequence}_{name}/   or   {priority}-{sequence}-{name}/
+
+This allows asset-loading steps to be ordered correctly alongside SQL scripts
+in a migrate-apply pipeline.
+
+Manifest format (assets.yaml):
+  - file: invoice.md
+    call: |
+      INSERT INTO org.filepointer (rid_owner, filename, contenttype, jsonstore)
+      VALUES (1, :filename, 'text/markdown', jsonb_build_object('content', :bytes::text))
+  - file: logo.png
+    call: UPDATE branding SET logo = :bytes WHERE id = 1
+    params:
+      owner_id: "42"
+
+Built-in placeholders:
+  :bytes    — the file's raw content as bytea
+  :filename — the base name of the file (string)
+  :any_key  — a static value declared in the entry's params map`,
+}

+## External File Embedding
+
+Script SQL can embed nearby text or binary files before execution using `-- @embed` directives:
+
+```sql
+-- @embed: path=assets/message.txt var=:message mode=text
+-- @embed: path=assets/photo.bin var=:payload mode=base64
+INSERT INTO assets (message, payload)
+VALUES (:message, decode(:payload, 'base64')::bytea);
+```
+
+- `path`: File path resolved relative to the SQL file containing the directive
+- `var`: Named placeholder to replace, such as `:message`
+- `mode`: `text` embeds an escaped SQL string literal; `base64` embeds a base64 string literal
+
+The directive comment is removed from the SQL, and every matching placeholder is replaced before the script is listed or executed.

+## External File Embedding
+
+SQL files can include external files with `-- @embed` directives. File paths are resolved relative to the SQL file being read.
+
+```sql
+-- @embed: path=assets/message.txt var=:message mode=text
+-- @embed: path=assets/payload.bin var=:payload mode=base64
+INSERT INTO assets (message, payload)
+VALUES (:message, decode(:payload, 'base64')::bytea);
+```
+
+- `mode=text` reads UTF-8 text and replaces the placeholder with an escaped SQL string literal.
+- `mode=base64` reads any bytes and replaces the placeholder with a base64 SQL string literal.
+- The placeholder must be named, for example `:message`, and must appear in the SQL body.
