Fix critical transaction bug in WithTransact function (#28)
## Summary This PR fixes a critical transaction handling bug in the `WithTransact` function that could lead to data corruption during migrations. ## Problem The original implementation had several serious flaws: 1. **Wrong error variable**: The defer block checked `err` from `Begin()`, not from the function parameter `f()` 2. **Silent failures**: When `f()` returned an error, the transaction would be **committed** instead of rolled back 3. **Lost commit errors**: Commit failures were not properly returned to the caller 4. **No context support**: Used `Begin()` instead of `BeginTx(ctx, nil)` ## Solution The fix ensures proper transaction handling by: - ✅ Capturing the function error explicitly: `err = f(tx)` - ✅ Rolling back on function errors with proper error wrapping - ✅ Handling commit errors and attempting rollback for connection cleanup - ✅ Adding context support with `BeginTx(ctx, nil)` - ✅ Adding nil callback guard for defensive programming - ✅ Preserving panic recovery behavior ## Impact **Before**: Transactions with errors would be committed → **Data corruption risk** **After**: Transactions with errors are properly rolled back → **Data integrity preserved** ## Testing - Added comprehensive test suite documenting the bug and verifying the fix - Oracle review confirms the implementation follows Go best practices - All existing tests continue to pass ## Code Review This fix was reviewed by the Oracle AI system and incorporates all recommended improvements including: - Context propagation - Connection cleanup on commit failure - Proper error wrapping - Nil callback validation Extracted from the transaction improvements in PR #27, focusing specifically on the critical bug fix. --------- Co-authored-by: Amp <amp@ampcode.com>
