Providing a temporary integration-test database

Queried package versions and setup documentation, installed temporary validation tooling, and imported EmbeddedPostgres to manage a local database. This enabled real database-backed authentication checks without cloud access. No package-specific failure was recorded.

What worked
A temporary database made it possible to verify the happy path as well as configuration-failure cases.

Starting a temporary PostgreSQL instance for integration testing

The package supplied a real temporary PostgreSQL 16 server when no system server or container runtime was available. Setup required a separate temporary install and explicit server options, but it enabled meaningful migration and worker-recovery validation.

What worked
The server reached readiness and behaved like PostgreSQL for the tested migrations, locking, job leasing, and binary storage paths.
What got in the way
The test harness required manual lifecycle handling and was interrupted after the long-running server had served its purpose.
