📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds explicit client cleanup, supports native and PyMySQL embedded backends, improves connection failure recovery, and adds lifecycle tests and explicit fixture teardown. ChangesEmbedded client lifecycle
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to If database or collection setup fails, the fixture may leave the client and embedded instance open, leaking resources and potentially affecting subsequent tests; the PR is otherwise mergeable, but this cleanup path needs owner awareness or follow-up.

Close fixture clients when setup fails.
Pytest does not run post-yield teardown if setup raises before yield. If admin.create_database() or client.create_collection() raises, the client and embedded instance can remain open.

Summary
SeekdbInstancereturned bypylibseekdb.open()for the full client lifetimeinstance.connection_options()with PyMySQL when that instance-level capability is availableclose()on public client/admin proxies and make context-manager/destructor cleanup use itBackend selection
SeekdbEmbeddedClientremains the public class and keeps the samemode. Internally it selects by capability rather than by parsing the pylibseekdb version:SeekdbInstance.connection_optionsavailable: connect with PyMySQL using the instance-owned user/socket or portconnection_options: connect throughinstance.connect()Only the instance-level
connection_options()method enables the PyMySQL backend. The module-level helper is intentionally not used because it is bound to the default instance and is ambiguous when multiple database directories are open.The modern backend uses
DictCursor, parameterized SQL, cursor metadata, and the standardBaseClientDB-API execution path.get_raw_connection()consequently returns apymysql.Connectionon this backend and the legacy native connection on older pylibseekdb releases.Root cause
SeekdbEmbeddedClientdiscarded the object returned bypylibseekdb.open(db_dir)and then called the module-levelpylibseekdb.connect(). The module-level API remains bound to the first default instance, so a later client using a differentdb_dircould connect to the old socket. Cleanup closed only the SQL connection and did not release the owningSeekdbInstance.Impact
Embedded clients in the same Python process now connect to and release the instance for their own database directory. Closing one client does not break another client sharing the same directory or using a different directory. Modern pylibseekdb releases also avoid the native cursor's SQL rendering and column-name parsing compatibility layer.
