Based on and blocked by #1113

Implements step 3. of "Phase 3" in #917.

This PR implements the functionality to use sqldb/v2 to trigger the kvdb to sql migration under the dev build-tagged litd builds, using code migrations which sqldb/v2 adds support for. This PR also adds support for having separate dev sql migrations, which are only run under build-tagged litd builds.

Note that this is only a draft PR for now, as the sqldb/v2 is not released, and we therefore need to add forked dependencies in order to run this. Once we have an official release of the sqldb/v2 package, I'll update this PR to use that dependency.

Summary of Changes

Hello @ViktorTigerstrom, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request represents a significant architectural shift, laying the groundwork for litd to transition its data persistence from BoltDB to a SQL backend. By integrating sqldb/v2 and implementing code migrations, it enables the seamless transfer of existing data for key components like accounts, sessions, and firewall rules within dev environments. This change facilitates future development on a more scalable and flexible data layer, while ensuring data integrity during the transition.

Highlights

  • KVDB to SQL Migration: I've implemented the core logic to migrate existing BoltDB (KVDB) data for accounts, sessions, and firewalldb stores to a SQL database. This is a 'code migration' that runs as a post-migration step, ensuring existing data is transferred to the new schema.
  • sqldb/v2 Integration: This PR integrates the new sqldb/v2 library for database management. This includes adopting its robust transaction execution pattern and migration framework across the accounts, session, and firewalldb modules.
  • Separate Dev Migrations: I've introduced a mechanism for dev builds to have their own SQL migration streams. This allows for experimental or in-progress migrations, such as the KVDB to SQL data migration, to be tested and developed without affecting production builds.
  • Database Schema Adaptation: Various database interaction layers, including SQLC generated code, store interfaces, and test helpers, have been updated. This aligns them with the new sqldb/v2 patterns and introduces sqlcmig6 types specifically for handling the migration's intermediate schema.

Code Review

This is a substantial pull request that migrates the database backend from kvdb to sqldb/v2 and introduces the necessary migration logic. The changes are well-structured, particularly the use of a separate sqlcmig6 package for migration-specific queries and the centralized migration stream handling. I've identified one critical issue that will prevent compilation, and a couple of medium-severity issues related to error message formatting. After addressing these points, the code should be in good shape.

critical

The loop for i := range len(query) is not valid Go syntax and will cause a compilation error. range cannot be used on an integer value.

A direct fix is to use a standard C-style for loop: for i := 0; i < len(query); i++.

However, a more idiomatic way to iterate over a string in Go is for _, r := range query, which correctly handles Unicode characters. Since you are using WriteByte, the C-style loop is a safe and direct replacement.

Suggested change
for i := range len(query) {
if query[i] != '?' {
sb.WriteByte(query[i])
continue
}
sb.WriteString("$")
sb.WriteString(strconv.Itoa(argNum))
argNum++
}
for i := 0; i < len(query); i++ {
if query[i] != '?' {
sb.WriteByte(query[i])
continue
}
sb.WriteString("$")
sb.WriteString(strconv.Itoa(argNum))
argNum++
}

This error message contains a typo ("SQLlite" instead of "SQLite") and uses unnecessary string concatenation. It's good practice to keep error messages clear and free of typos for better debuggability.

This error message uses unnecessary string concatenation. Simplifying it will improve readability.

In upcoming commits, other packages than the `db` package will need to
be able to access the `SqlSchemas`. This commit exports it in
preparation for those changes
In upcoming commits, we will introduce a new migration stream package
that will need to reference the db package, as well as the accounts,
session and firewalldb package in future commits. To avoid circular
dependencies, we therefore introduce a new migration stream that unit
tests can use, in order to avoid having to import the new migration
stream package.
The upcoming kvdb to sql code migration will be added to as part of the
`sqldb/v2` migration stream. However, since the kvdb to sql migration
will need to use the migration functions present in the `accounts`,
`firewalldb`, and `session` packages, the migration will need to
referernce those packages. That would lead to a circular dependency
though if the migration stream was defined in the `db` package, as those
packages need to import the `db` package.

To avoid this, we introduce a new `migrationstreams` package that
contains the migration streams, and ensure that the `db` package doesn't
import the `migrationstreams` package.
When the kvdb to sql migration is initially introduced, we will want to
ensure that it is only run under dev builds during the testing phase.

We therefore introduce the functionality to have separate dev
migrations, which are only included in a separate migration stream that
is used only in dev builds.

Note that these dev migrations are currently not included in the
`sqlc.yaml` file, to ensure that the main sqlc models doesn't include
the dev migrations.
The next commit that adds the kvdb to sql code migration will need to
initialize the accounts kvdb DB.

This commit exports that struct so that it can be referenced outside of
the accounts package.
Add the necessary code to trigger the kvdb to sql code migration in dev
builds.
