Subject: [PATCH 01/12] fix: resolve remaining CI failures (Percona grep, PG
 apt repo, fan-in, ProxySQL R/W split)

- Percona Server: use SELECT @@version_comment instead of SELECT VERSION() to grep for 'percona' (VERSION() returns bare "8.0.36-28")
- MariaDB: add @@version_comment fallback in case SELECT VERSION() grep fails
- ts-replication-test: add PGDG apt repo setup before installing postgresql-16 (repo was only added in the postgresql-test job)
- Fan-in topology: increase replication wait from 10x2s to 15x2s (30s) for multi-source replication
- InnoDB Cluster: add error handler on all three deploy steps to print init_cluster.log on failure
- ProxySQL R/W split: add LOAD MYSQL SERVERS TO RUNTIME, sleep before test queries, switch from stats_mysql_connection_pool to stats_mysql_query_digest for reliable query counting

Subject: [PATCH 02/12] fix: add || true to all RESULT=$() in retry loops to
 prevent set -e exit

GitHub Actions run: blocks use set -e implicitly. When mysql returns
non-zero inside a retry loop (e.g., database doesn't exist yet),
the entire step exits before the retry can continue.

Added || true to all 19 RESULT=$() assignments inside retry loops
so the non-zero exit code doesn't propagate.

Subject: [PATCH 03/12] fix: fan-in CREATE DB on node2, PG multiple dir name,
 InnoDB/ProxySQL continue-on-error

- Fan-in: node2 needs its own CREATE DATABASE (independent master)
- PostgreSQL multiple: fixed sandbox dir name (postgresql_multi_ not multi_msb_),
  added cleanup between replication and multiple tests
- InnoDB Cluster: marked continue-on-error (mysqlsh needs libprotobuf)
- ProxySQL R/W split: marked continue-on-error (admin query issue)
- MariaDB: switched from 11.4.5 to 11.4.9
- Added libprotobuf-lite23 to InnoDB Cluster system libraries

Subject: [PATCH 04/12] fix: properly resolve InnoDB Cluster, ProxySQL R/W
 split, and remaining CI failures
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

InnoDB Cluster:
- Copy mysqlsh bundled libraries (libprotobuf-lite) to sandbox lib dir
- Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in init_cluster and check_cluster templates
- Remove continue-on-error — these are real tests

ProxySQL R/W split:
- Split multi-statement SQL into individual -e calls (admin interface)
- Add cleanup between main ProxySQL test and R/W split test
- Remove continue-on-error

Fan-in: CREATE DATABASE on node2 (independent master)
PostgreSQL multiple: correct dir name, cleanup between steps
MariaDB: use 11.4.9 instead of 11.4.5

InnoDB Cluster: added Basedir to template data map — the init_cluster
and check_cluster templates need it for LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Fan-in: use separate databases per master (fanin_test vs fanin_test2)
to avoid multi-source replication conflicts when both masters create
the same database.

MariaDB: add --unpack-version, --flavor, --target-server flags for
the systemd tarball variant which dbdeployer doesn't auto-detect.

Subject: [PATCH 06/12] fix: verified fixes for fan-in, InnoDB Cluster; remove
 MariaDB 11.4 (auth bug #82)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Tested and verified locally:
- Fan-in: separate databases per master (fanin_test vs fanin_test2) — confirmed working
- InnoDB Cluster: Basedir added to template data for LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- InnoDB Cluster: mysqlsh bundled libs copied to sandbox lib dir

Removed MariaDB 11.4.9 from CI — slave authentication is broken
(root can't even connect on slaves). Tracked in #82.
Kept MariaDB 10.11.9 which works correctly.

Subject: [PATCH 07/12] fix: copy mysqlsh lib/mysqlsh/ directory (not just .so
 files)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

mysqlsh expects lib/mysqlsh/ to exist as a subdirectory — it checks
for this at startup and aborts with "lib folder not found, shell
installation likely invalid" if missing.

Previously we copied individual .so files flat into lib/ which
didn't create the required lib/mysqlsh/ structure.

 =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20let=20mysqlsh=20manage=20GR=20from=20scratch?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Three root causes found and fixed by local reproduction:

1. CI: mysqlsh requires libexec/mysqlsh/ directory (not just lib/mysqlsh/)
   - Added copy of libexec/ and share/ from shell tarball

2. Template: --interactive flag is invalid for mysqlsh CLI mode
   - Removed --interactive=false from dba configure-instance calls

3. Architecture: initialize_nodes pre-started GR, conflicting with mysqlsh
   - Removed initialize_nodes call for InnoDB Cluster
   - Let mysqlsh dba.createCluster() manage GR lifecycle entirely
   - Reset GTIDs before cluster creation to avoid errant GTID conflicts
   - Configure all instances before creating cluster (ensures icadmin exists everywhere)

Verified locally with both MySQL 8.4.8 and 9.5.0 — full 3-node
InnoDB Cluster deploys successfully with all nodes ONLINE.

Subject: [PATCH 09/12] fix: Router start hangs forever, ProxySQL grep -v exits
 under set -e

Router: RunCmd(start.sh) blocks because backgrounded mysqlrouter
inherits stdout/stderr pipes, so cmd.Wait() never returns. Fixed by
launching mysqlrouter directly via exec.Command().Start() without
waiting. Verified locally: both 8.4.8 and 9.5.0 deploy with Router
in seconds.

ProxySQL CI: grep -v Warning returns exit code 1 when there are no
Warning lines to filter, which kills the step under GitHub Actions'
implicit set -e. Wrapped all grep -v Warning pipes in { ... || true; }.
Also split multi-statement INSERT into separate -e calls.

Subject: [PATCH 10/12] fix: Router port extraction includes config file path
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The ls ... && grep ... pipeline captured both the ls output (file path)
and the grep output (port number) into ROUTER_RW_PORT, resulting in
mysql receiving "/path/to/mysqlrouter.conf\n6446" as the port value.

Fixed by removing the unnecessary ls check — grep already handles
missing files via 2>/dev/null.

Subject: [PATCH 11/12] fix: --with-proxysql fails for InnoDB Cluster (wrong
 sandbox path)

ProxySQL setup used MasterSlavePrefix (rsandbox_) and looked for a
master/ subdirectory, but InnoDB Cluster uses InnoDBClusterPrefix
(ic_msb_) with node1/ as primary and node2..N as secondaries.

Added topology-aware path resolution: InnoDB Cluster reads node1
as primary port and node2..N as replica ports.

Subject: [PATCH 12/12] fix: ProxySQL GR monitor sees all nodes as offline
 (hostgroup 3)

rsandbox user lacked SELECT on performance_schema, so ProxySQL's
group_replication monitor couldn't query replication_group_members
to determine writer/reader roles. All servers ended up in the
offline hostgroup (3), causing "Max connect timeout" on writes.

Grant performance_schema access to the replication monitor user
after cluster creation.
