wal2json extension is missing from my Supabase Cloud database, making Realtime non-functional

Priority: CRITICAL - Core functionality broken

Issue: wal2json extension is missing from my Supabase Cloud database,
making Realtime non-functional.

Project Details:
- Version: PostgreSQL 15.8 on aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 13.2.0, 64-bit

Evidence:
1. Query: SELECT * FROM pg_available_extensions WHERE name = 'wal2json';
Result: No rows returned

2. Query: SELECT * FROM pg_extension WHERE extname = 'wal2json';
Result: No rows returned

3. Query: CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS wal2json;
Error: extension "wal2json" is not available

Impact:
- Realtime subscriptions fail
- Live notifications broken
- Core app functionality affected

Expected: wal2json should be pre-installed on all Supabase Cloud instances
Actual: Extension is completely missing

This appears to be an infrastructure issue that is required for realtime to work.

Any help will be appreciated.
