Subject: [PATCH 01/12] Add sqlc-test-setup command for database test
 environment setup

New cmd/sqlc-test-setup package with two subcommands:
- `install`: Installs PostgreSQL and MySQL 9 via apt, including apt
  proxy configuration for Claude Code remote environments.
- `start`: Starts both database services, configures authentication
  (passwords, pg_hba.conf), and verifies connectivity.

Both commands log all actions verbosely for easy debugging.

Subject: [PATCH 02/12] Fix sqlc-test-setup for real-world CCR environments and
 add idempotency

Key fixes:
- Use apt-get install -f to resolve dpkg dependency issues (libaio1t64,
  libmecab2, libnuma1) instead of expecting all dpkg -i to succeed
- Remove /etc/init.d/mysql chmod (not present in systemd environments)
- Use mysqld_safe to start MySQL (works without systemd/init.d)
- Use caching_sha2_password plugin instead of auth_socket for TCP access
- Add waitForMySQL polling loop for reliable startup detection

Idempotency:
- install: Skips apt proxy, PostgreSQL, and MySQL if already present
- start: Detects running MySQL via mysqladmin ping, skips pg_hba.conf
  entry if already configured, skips password setup if already correct,
  skips MySQL data dir initialization if already done

Tested: both commands succeed on first run and on subsequent re-runs.

Subject: [PATCH 03/12] Fix test infrastructure: Docker detection, expander
 tests, update CLAUDE.md

- docker.Installed(): Also verify Docker daemon is running (not just
  binary in PATH). Without this, tests try Docker first, fail on
  docker pull, and t.Fatal instead of falling back to native databases.

- expander_test.go: Use the same Docker/native detection chain as other
  tests instead of hardcoding connection URIs. The PostgreSQL test was
  hardcoded to password 'mysecretpassword' which doesn't match native
  setup (password 'postgres').

- CLAUDE.md: Replace manual apt/dpkg database setup instructions with
  sqlc-test-setup commands. Remove Step 1-4 manual instructions.

All 29 test packages pass with zero skips.

 - **Docker & Docker Compose** - Required for integration tests with databases (local development)
 - **Git** - For version control
 
-## Claude Code Remote Environment Setup
+## Database Setup with sqlc-test-setup
 
-When running in the Claude Code remote environment (or any environment without Docker), you can install PostgreSQL and MySQL natively. The test framework automatically detects and uses native database installations.
+The `sqlc-test-setup` tool (`cmd/sqlc-test-setup/`) automates installing and starting PostgreSQL and MySQL for tests. Both commands are idempotent and safe to re-run.
 
-### Step 1: Configure apt Proxy (Required in Remote Environment)
-
-The Claude Code remote environment requires an HTTP proxy for apt. Configure it:
-
-```bash
-bash -c 'echo "Acquire::http::Proxy \"$http_proxy\";"' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99proxy
-```
-
-### Step 2: Install PostgreSQL
+### Install databases
 
 ```bash
-sudo apt-get update
-sudo apt-get install -y postgresql
-sudo service postgresql start
+go run ./cmd/sqlc-test-setup install
 ```
 
-Configure PostgreSQL for password authentication:
-
-```bash
-# Set password for postgres user
-sudo -u postgres psql -c "ALTER USER postgres PASSWORD 'postgres';"
-
-# Enable password authentication for localhost
-echo 'host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            md5' | sudo tee -a /etc/postgresql/16/main/pg_hba.conf
-sudo service postgresql reload
-```
+This will:
+- Configure the apt proxy (if `http_proxy` is set, e.g. in Claude Code remote environments)
+- Install PostgreSQL via apt
+- Download and install MySQL 9 from Oracle's deb bundle
+- Resolve all dependencies automatically
+- Skip anything already installed
 
-Test the connection:
+### Start databases
 
 ```bash
-PGPASSWORD=postgres psql -h 127.0.0.1 -U postgres -c "SELECT 1;"
+go run ./cmd/sqlc-test-setup start
 ```
 
-### Step 3: Install MySQL 9
-
-MySQL 9 is required for full test compatibility (includes VECTOR type support). Download and install from Oracle:
+This will:
+- Start PostgreSQL and configure password auth (`postgres`/`postgres`)
+- Start MySQL via `mysqld_safe` and set root password (`mysecretpassword`)
+- Verify both connections
+- Skip steps that are already done (running services, existing config)
 
-```bash
-# Download MySQL 9 bundle
-curl -LO https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-9.1/mysql-server_9.1.0-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb-bundle.tar
-
-# Extract packages
-mkdir -p /tmp/mysql9
-tar -xf mysql-server_9.1.0-1ubuntu24.04_amd64.deb-bundle.tar -C /tmp/mysql9
-
-# Install packages (in order)
-cd /tmp/mysql9
-sudo dpkg -i mysql-common_*.deb \
-    mysql-community-client-plugins_*.deb \
-    mysql-community-client-core_*.deb \
-    mysql-community-client_*.deb \
-    mysql-client_*.deb \
-    mysql-community-server-core_*.deb \
-    mysql-community-server_*.deb \
-    mysql-server_*.deb
-
-# Make init script executable
-sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/mysql
-
-# Initialize data directory and start MySQL
-sudo mysqld --initialize-insecure --user=mysql
-sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
-
-# Set root password
-mysql -u root -e "ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mysecretpassword'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"
-```
+Connection URIs after start:
+- PostgreSQL: `postgres://postgres:postgres@127.0.0.1:5432/postgres?sslmode=disable`
+- MySQL: `root:mysecretpassword@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/mysql`
 
-Test the connection:
+### Run tests
 
 ```bash
-mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -pmysecretpassword -e "SELECT VERSION();"
-```
-
-### Step 4: Run End-to-End Tests
-
-With both databases running, the test framework automatically detects them:
-
-```bash
-# Run all end-to-end tests
-go test --tags=examples -timeout 20m ./internal/endtoend/...
-
-# Run example tests
-go test --tags=examples -timeout 20m ./examples/...
-
-# Run the full test suite
+# Full test suite (requires databases running)
 go test --tags=examples -timeout 20m ./...
 ```
 
-The native database support (in `internal/sqltest/native/`) automatically:
-- Detects running PostgreSQL and MySQL instances
-- Starts services if installed but not running
-- Uses standard connection URIs:
-  - PostgreSQL: `postgres://postgres:postgres@127.0.0.1:5432/postgres?sslmode=disable`
-  - MySQL: `root:mysecretpassword@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/mysql`

-1. **Typo in create_function_stmt.go** - Fixed "Undertand" → "Understand"
-2. **Race condition in vet.go** - Fixed Client initialization using `sync.Once`
-3. **Nil pointer dereference in parse.go** - Fixed unsafe type assertion in primary key parsing
-
-These fixes demonstrate common patterns:
-- Using `sync.Once` for thread-safe lazy initialization
-- Using comma-ok idiom for safe type assertions: `if val, ok := x.(Type); ok { ... }`
-- Adding proper nil checks and defensive programming

Subject: [PATCH 05/12] Fix sqlc-test-setup for GitHub Actions pre-installed
 MySQL
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three fixes for CI failures:

1. mysqlInitialized() now uses `sudo ls` instead of filepath.Glob.
   The /var/lib/mysql directory is owned by mysql:mysql with restricted
   permissions, so filepath.Glob silently failed, causing the tool to
   attempt --initialize-insecure on a non-empty directory.

2. Stop any existing MySQL service before starting our own to avoid
   port conflicts with pre-installed MySQL on GitHub Actions runners.

3. Remove vestigial `if: matrix.os` condition from the test step in
   ci.yml — the test job has no matrix and the condition was always
   truthy, producing a GitHub Actions warning.

Subject: [PATCH 06/12] Fix MySQL root password setup for auth_socket plugin

On GitHub Actions ubuntu-24.04, the pre-installed MySQL 8.0 uses the
auth_socket plugin for root, which requires the OS user to match the
MySQL user. Since the runner runs as "runner" (not "root"), plain
`mysql -u root` fails with access denied.

Fix by falling back to `sudo mysql -u root` when the non-sudo attempt
fails, which satisfies auth_socket's OS user check.

Subject: [PATCH 07/12] Use --skip-grant-tables to reset MySQL root password

When the data directory already exists (e.g. pre-installed MySQL on
GitHub Actions), the root password is unknown. Neither blank password,
auth_socket, nor sudo can authenticate.

Fix by starting MySQL with --skip-grant-tables when an existing data
directory is detected, resetting the root password, then restarting
normally.

Stops on the first test failure instead of running the full suite,
making it faster to identify issues.

Subject: [PATCH 10/12] Set database URIs in CI to bypass Docker fallback

The test infrastructure checks if Docker is available before trying
native databases. Since GitHub Actions runners have Docker installed,
tests were trying to start MySQL/PostgreSQL via Docker instead of using
the databases already started by sqlc-test-setup.

Setting POSTGRESQL_SERVER_URI and MYSQL_SERVER_URI explicitly ensures
tests connect to the native databases.

Subject: [PATCH 11/12] Check MySQL version and upgrade to 9 if needed

GitHub Actions runners come with MySQL 8.0 pre-installed. The install
step was skipping installation because mysqld already existed, leaving
us with MySQL 8.0 which has authentication incompatibilities with the
test suite.

Now checks the mysqld version string. If it's below 9, stops the old
MySQL, removes old packages, clears the data directory, and installs
MySQL 9 from Oracle's deb bundle.
