// test/db-lazy.test.ts
// Tests for the lazy-pool initializer in src/db.ts.
//
// Key behaviours under test:
//   1. buildPool() is called exactly once even when multiple callers access
//      the pool concurrently (before any await resolves).
//   2. The Proxy correctly forwards method calls and binds them to the real Pool.
//
// We can't call .query() (no real DB), so we intercept at the Pool constructor
// level by patching pg.Pool, then restore it after each test group.
//
// DATABASE_URL must be set before db.ts loads.

process.env['DATABASE_URL'] = process.env['DATABASE_URL'] || 'postgresql://fake:fake@localhost:5432/fake';

  // set DATABASE_URL at the top of this file, the pool has been built. We
  // instead verify the error message text by testing buildPool via a separate
  // temporary env swap before db.ts initialises its pool — which we can't do
  // in a cached module. So we validate the error shape via documentation:
  // the guard checks the env, the test below confirms the thrown error is
  // human-readable (matches pattern) by reading db.ts's documented string.
