+//
+// `WriteArray` / `StreamJsonArray` on a scalar string projection (e.g.
+// `.Select(x => x.SomeEnumProperty)` with `EnumStorage.AsString`, or any
+// `.Select(x => x.StringProperty)`) emitted unquoted values into the JSON
+// array — `[FooValue,BarValue]` instead of `["FooValue","BarValue"]`.
+// Root cause: postgres returns `data->>'X'` as raw text (no JSON quoting),
+// and the streaming path used to copy those raw bytes between commas
+// without per-value JSON encoding. Fix lifts JSON encoding into the
+// streaming extension when the projected column isn't already jsonb/json.
+//
+// The tests below stream both string and enum-as-string scalar projections
+// and assert the body parses as valid JSON via System.Text.Json.
