ci: add mysql84 binlog TAP coverage workflow - #6086
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request adds a reusable GitHub Actions workflow for MySQL 8.4 binlog TAP tests. It handles build artifacts, test infrastructure, GCOV/LCOV coverage, failure logs, Codecov upload, cleanup, and GitHub check updates. ChangesMySQL 8.4 binlog coverage
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This workflow currently grants broader repository permissions than needed and leaves the checkout token available to later scripts, increasing the potential impact of a compromised or unintended workflow step. Merge should wait for least-privilege permissions and disabled credential persistence, or explicit security-owner acceptance. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

💡 Edge Case: Missing LCOV won't archive full logs when tests passed
The 'Require non-empty binlog coverage LCOV' step runs with if: always() and fails the job when the .info file is absent, but it is placed after 'Archive failure logs' (if: failure()). If the TAP tests all pass yet coverage collection silently produces no LCOV, the failure-log archive step has already been skipped (job was still succeeding), so proxysql/ci_*_logs/ is never uploaded for diagnosis — only the possibly-empty coverage-report dir is captured. Consider moving the LCOV existence check before the archive steps, or making 'Archive failure logs' trigger on !cancelled() && failure() after the check, so logs are captured when coverage is missing.

Learning: For ProxySQL isolated regression tests that use a fresh explicit `INFRA_ID`, `test/infra/control/ensure-infras.bash` detects the absent `proxysql.${INFRA_ID}` container and invokes `test/infra/control/start-proxysql-isolated.bash` before it provisions configuration. Do not invoke `start-proxysql-isolated.bash` again after `ensure-infras.bash`, because it removes the named container and its `proxysql.db`, which discards the provisioned configuration. The binary at `src/proxysql` is mounted when the container is initially created.

GitHub Actions permissions actions upload-artifact requires actions write download artifact actions read GITHUB_TOKEN
💡 Result:
The GitHub Actions upload-artifact and download-artifact actions do not require explicit actions: write or actions: read permissions on the GITHUB_TOKEN for standard use [1][2]. These actions operate using an internal, automated authentication mechanism specifically designed for artifact management within a workflow run [1]. You do not need to configure specific permissions in your workflow YAML for the standard uploading and downloading of artifacts within the same repository and the same workflow run [1][2]. Key points regarding artifact permissions: 1. Standard Usage: For most workflows where you are uploading an artifact in one job and downloading it in another (within the same run and repository), the GITHUB_TOKEN requires no special explicit permissions [1][2]. 2. Cross-Run or Cross-Repository Usage: If you need to download artifacts from a different repository or a different workflow run, you must provide a github-token (typically a Personal Access Token or a GitHub App token) with appropriate permissions to access the target repository [2][3]. 3. Security Best Practice: While the actions themselves handle authentication internally, it remains a best practice to follow the principle of least privilege in your workflow permissions blocks [4][5]. If you are not using other features that require the GITHUB_TOKEN to interact with the GitHub API (like creating releases or posting comments), you can safely set permissions: {} at the job level [1][4]. If you encounter errors related to permissions during artifact operations, they are often related to file system access on the runner (e.g., trying to read a file created by a different user/process) rather than GitHub API permissions [6].

Limit token permissions and disable checkout credential persistence.
write-all is broader than this workflow requires. The checkout step persists the token in proxysql/.git/config, and subsequent scripts can read it. Use only the required scopes and set persist-credentials: false.
Proposed fix

+ permissions:
+ actions: read
+ checks: write
+ contents: read
+ id-token: write
+ packages: read
