Ning Sun edc81c2355 ci: update cargo fuzz command to use nightly toolchain explicitly (#9298)
* ci: update cargo fuzz command to use nightly toolchain explicitly

* ci: honor RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN pin in fuzz orchestration script

An explicit `+toolchain` argument overrides the RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN env var
in rustup precedence, so the hard-coded `cargo +nightly` in
run-fuzz-targets.sh bypassed the pinned FUZZ_RUST_TOOLCHAIN
(nightly-2026-03-21) configured in the workflow.

- Invoke `cargo +"${RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN:-nightly}" fuzz run` in the script
  so CI uses the pinned toolchain and local runs fall back to the
  floating nightly
- Pass RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN through to all four fuzz-test action invocations,
  covering the no-prebuilt-binaries path and making the reproduce command
  in the summary print the exact pinned toolchain
- Add test_rustup_toolchain_env_is_honored covering the pinned-env
  scenario for both the cargo invocation args and the summary text

Addresses #9298 (review).

# Fuzz Test for GreptimeDB
## Setup
1. Install the [fuzz](https://rust-fuzz.github.io/book/cargo-fuzz/setup.html) cli first.
```bash
cargo install cargo-fuzz
```
Note: `cargo-fuzz` instruments targets with `-Zsanitizer=fuzzer`, so fuzz
targets must be built with a **nightly** toolchain (the workspace default
toolchain does not need to be nightly — `make fuzz` / `make fuzz-ls`
invoke `cargo +nightly` for you; CI pins its own nightly in
`FUZZ_RUST_TOOLCHAIN`).
2. Start GreptimeDB
3. Copy the `.env.example`, which is at project root, to `.env` and change the values on need.
### For stable fuzz tests
Set the GreptimeDB MySQL address.
```
GT_MYSQL_ADDR = localhost:4002
```
### For unstable fuzz tests
Set the binary path of the GreptimeDB:
```
GT_FUZZ_BINARY_PATH = /path/to/
```
Change the instance root directory(the default value: `/tmp/unstable_greptime/`)
```
GT_FUZZ_INSTANCE_ROOT_DIR = /path/to/
```
## Run
1. List all fuzz targets
```bash
cargo fuzz list --fuzz-dir tests-fuzz
```
2. Run a fuzz target.
```bash
cargo fuzz run fuzz_create_table --fuzz-dir tests-fuzz -D -s none
```
## Crash Reproduction
If you want to reproduce a crash, you first need to obtain the Base64 encoded code, which usually appears at the end of a crash report, and store it in a file.
Alternatively, if you already have the crash file, you can skip this step.
```bash
echo "Base64" > .crash
```
Print the `std::fmt::Debug` output for an input.
```bash
cargo fuzz fmt fuzz_target .crash --fuzz-dir tests-fuzz -D -s none
```
Rerun the fuzz test with the input.
You can override fuzz input with environment variables. For example, to override fuzz input like:
```
FuzzInput {
seed: 6666,
actions: 175
}
```
you can run with `GT_FUZZ_OVERRIDE_SEED=6666` and `GT_FUZZ_OVERRIDE_ACTIONS=175`:
```bash
GT_FUZZ_OVERRIDE_SEED=6666 GT_FUZZ_OVERRIDE_ACTIONS=175 cargo fuzz run fuzz_target .crash --fuzz-dir tests-fuzz -D -s none
```
For more details, visit [cargo fuzz](https://rust-fuzz.github.io/book/cargo-fuzz/tutorial.html) or run the command `cargo fuzz --help`.
## Repartition Metric Dump Artifacts
For `fuzz_repartition_metric_table`, dump artifacts are written under one run directory.
- Table data snapshots: `<logical_table>.table-data.csv`
- SQL traces per logical table: `<logical_table>.trace.sql`
- Seed metadata: `seed.meta`
SQL trace behavior:
- Insert SQL is appended after successful execution with comment fields including
`started_at_ms` and `elapsed_ms`.
- Repartition events are broadcast to all logical table trace files with comment fields including
`action_idx`, `started_at_ms`, `elapsed_ms`, and SQL text.
Run directory lifecycle:
- On success, the run directory is cleaned up.
- On failure, the run directory is retained for CI/local diffing.
