The auth cache crashes when it encounters rows in role_permissions that have a live row marker but no permissions column. These “ghost rows” were created by the now-removed auth v2 migration, which used INSERT (creating row markers) instead of UPDATE. When permissions were later revoked, the row marker remained while the permissions column became null. An empty collection appears as null, since its lifetime is based only on its element's cells. As a result, when the cache reloads and expects the permissions column to exist, it hits a missing_column exception. The series removes dead code that was the primary crash site, adds has() guards to the remaining access paths, and includes a test reproducer. Fixes https://scylladb.atlassian.net/browse/SCYLLADB-1816 Backport: all supported versions 2026.1, 2025.4, 2025.1 Closes scylladb/scylladb#29757 * github.com:scylladb/scylladb: test: add reproducer for auth cache crash on missing permissions column auth: tolerate missing permissions column in authorize() auth: add defensive has() guard for role_attributes value column auth: remove unused permissions field from cache role_record

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
