+root_cause: |
+  Apple removed all Python stubs from macOS in macOS 15 (Sequoia). On macOS 12 through 14,
+  running `python` or `python2` would show a dialog prompting users to install Command Line
+  Tools, but the stub binary was present in /usr/bin/python so the command was technically
+  found (it just exited non-zero in CI where dialogs are suppressed). macOS 15 removed
+  these stubs entirely — /usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python2 no longer exist.
+
+  GitHub Actions macos-15 runners and macos-latest (which resolves to macos-15 on 2025+
+  runners) have no `python` or `python2` in PATH unless explicitly installed via
+  actions/setup-python or Homebrew.
+
+  Affected workflow patterns:
+  - `run: python script.py` without a preceding setup-python step
+  - Build tools that internally call `python` (node-gyp, certain CMake scripts,
+    legacy Makefiles, scons, gyp-based builds)
+  - Shell scripts with `#!/usr/bin/env python` shebangs
+  - `pip` commands (also absent without setup-python)
+
+  Python 2 is also fully removed from Homebrew — `brew install python@2` is no longer
+  available. Any remaining Python 2 dependency must be ported to Python 3.
+fix: |
+  Use actions/setup-python to install Python explicitly on macOS runners.
+  Set the python-version to the version your workflow needs (3.12 or higher recommended).
+
+  For node-gyp or native module builds that internally call `python`, set the
+  npm_config_python environment variable to point to the Python 3 binary from
+  setup-python.
+
+  For shell scripts with `#!/usr/bin/env python` shebangs, update the shebang to
+  `#!/usr/bin/env python3` or call the script explicitly with `python3 script.py`.

+root_cause: |
+  Ubuntu 24.04 ships MySQL 8.4 LTS as its default MySQL version. MySQL 8.4 permanently
+  removed the `mysql_native_password` authentication plugin that was deprecated in
+  MySQL 8.0.4 and disabled by default in MySQL 8.0.34. In MySQL 8.4, the plugin
+  binary no longer exists — it cannot be re-enabled via server configuration.
+
+  The new default authentication plugin is `caching_sha2_password`, which requires
+  either a TLS/SSL connection or an RSA public key exchange during authentication.
+  Older MySQL client libraries that were compiled expecting mysql_native_password
+  behavior cannot authenticate against MySQL 8.4.
+
+  Commonly affected clients in GitHub Actions workflows:
+  - mysql2 Ruby gem versions < 0.5.6
+  - mysqljs/mysql npm package (use mysql2 npm package instead)
+  - mysql-connector-python < 8.0.28 without SSL configuration
+  - phpMyAdmin and other tools linking against older libmysqlclient
+
+  Workflows that use `image: mysql:latest` in service containers are at highest risk
+  as mysql:latest advanced to 8.4 and then 9.x after ubuntu-24.04 was released.
+fix: |
+  Option 1 — Pin MySQL service container to mysql:8.0:
+    Use `image: mysql:8.0` in your service container definition. MySQL 8.0 supports
+    mysql_native_password and is fully compatible with existing client libraries.
+    This is the fastest fix for affected workflows.
+
+  Option 2 — Update the MySQL client library:
+    - Ruby: upgrade mysql2 gem to >= 0.5.6 (caching_sha2_password support added)
+    - Node.js: replace `mysql` package with `mysql2` (>= 3.x)
+    - Python: upgrade mysql-connector-python to latest and configure ssl_disabled: false
+
+  Option 3 — Configure MySQL 8.4 to allow password auth with --default-auth:
+    MySQL 8.4 still supports caching_sha2_password for all connections. The issue is
+    the client, not the server. Update the client library — not the server auth policy.

+root_cause: |
+  Ubuntu 24.04 implements PEP 668, which marks the system Python environment as
+  "externally managed" — pip is not permitted to install or modify packages into
+  the system Python site-packages directory. The restriction is enforced by an
+  EXTERNALLY-MANAGED marker file placed at /usr/lib/python3.X/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED
+  by the Ubuntu package maintainers.
+
+  On GitHub Actions ubuntu-24.04 runners (and ubuntu-latest, which resolved to
+  ubuntu-24.04 in mid-2025), the default system Python 3 (3.12) ships this marker.
+  Any workflow step that calls `pip install` or `pip3 install` without a virtual
+  environment or the setup-python action will hit this error immediately.
+
+  Workflows migrated from ubuntu-22.04 — which did not enforce PEP 668 — will fail
+  on first run without any other changes. The error is clear in the output but
+  unexpected for workflows that previously relied on system-wide pip installs.
+fix: |
+  Option 1 — Use actions/setup-python (recommended):
+    Replace the bare system Python with a setup-python step. actions/setup-python
+    creates its own isolated Python installation outside the system path, making
+    pip install work without virtual environments or bypass flags.
+
+  Option 2 — Create a virtual environment:
+    Run `python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate` before pip install.
+    This is the correct long-term fix for any environment.
+
+  Option 3 — Pass --break-system-packages:
+    Append `--break-system-packages` to the pip install command. This bypasses
+    PEP 668 enforcement. Acceptable in ephemeral CI environments but not

+root_cause: |
+  GitHub-hosted Ubuntu runners do not run systemd as PID 1. They use a custom
+  initialization environment where systemd is not the init system. The snap package
+  manager (snapd) requires systemd for:
+  - Daemon lifecycle management (snapd.service unit)
+  - D-Bus socket activation (/run/snapd.socket)
+  - AppArmor profile enforcement for snap confinement
+  - Mount namespace management for snap application isolation
+
+  Without systemd, the snapd daemon never starts, and /run/snapd.socket does not
+  exist. Any `snap install` command immediately fails because the snap client
+  cannot reach the daemon socket to submit the install request.
+
+  This is a structural limitation of GitHub-hosted runners across ALL Ubuntu versions
+  (ubuntu-20.04, ubuntu-22.04, ubuntu-24.04, ubuntu-latest) and has not changed
+  since Actions was launched. Attempting to start snapd manually with `systemctl start snapd`
