What

  • Bind commands/async.h in pgrx-pg-sys for pg13–pg19, exposing Async_Notify / Async_Listen / Async_Unlisten / Async_UnlistenAll.
  • Add a notify example: safe &str wrappers over those externs plus a real-world cache-invalidation trigger that NOTIFYs a changed row's id on cache_invalidation.

Why

LISTEN/NOTIFY is the only in-core mechanism for inter-process signalling substitute — delivery goes through Postgres's async queue. Server-side LISTEN in particular has no SQL-function equivalent.
