🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Add an AOF ACL regression test.
This change alters EXEC behavior during AOF replay. Add a Tcl integration test under tests/ that writes a MULTI/EXEC transaction, disables the default user, reloads the AOF, and verifies that the transaction effects are restored. Also verify that regular clients still receive ACL validation.
As per coding guidelines, code changes should include relevant tests, and end-to-end behavior tests belong in tests/ as Tcl integration tests.

The reported data-loss path is not covered by an automated test. Add an AOF integration case that creates MULTI / SET / EXEC, starts with default disabled and denied command access (plus an admin user for verification), then authenticates as admin and checks that the key was restored. This fails on the base revision and directly guards the bypass here.

Fixes #3983
Problem
When
execCommand()runs queued commands inside a MULTI/EXEC block, it re-checks ACL permissions at execution time. If the default user has been disabled, the AOF fake client (which runs as the default user) fails these checks, causing transaction commands loaded from AOF to be silently rejected. This results in data loss on server restart.Solution
Skip the ACL re-check inside
execCommand()when the client is the AOF fake client (c->id == CLIENT_ID_AOF). AOF commands were already validated when they were originally executed and written to the AOF file.Testing
make -j$(nproc)
