ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/ENG-2565 Edits to different posts can deadlock while reading shared tags and revision authors or inserting tag links. Limit the locking changes to transactions started for a single post edit. - Use READ COMMITTED and avoid locking authors that the edit only reads - Preserve post and tag locks, stale-edit rejection, and commit-time events - Leave transactions started by callers unchanged - Cover the deadlock cycles, concurrent edits, and rollback behavior

Explanation
The PR adds internal JavaScript transaction and relation helpers. It does not introduce HTTP, external API, env/config, filesystem, queue, webhook, or event-payload consumption that requires validation. The changed production lines add no
any, uncheckedas,@ts-nocheck, or@ts-ignore, and no hand-written type duplicates a Zod schema. Database transactions and ORM relations remain internal module calls.

- Around line 13-35: Update the transaction configuration in the helper that
wraps `postEditTransactions` so internally created transactions use an isolation
level compatible with the connection’s statement-based binary logging. Preserve
the previous isolation level when statement-based logging is enabled, or enforce
compatible row-based logging and return a clear Ghost error if unavailable;
leave caller-supplied transactions unchanged.

98-102: 📐 Maintainability & Code QualityThe claim that the suite fails or blocks CI on SQLite is not supported by the inspected evidence. The repository configures this integration suite to run only against MySQL, and no SQLite run of it appears in the inspected CI or test configuration. The comment's conditional premise, "if the integration lane also runs on SQLite," has no supporting evidence.
Conclusion: the comment is unsubstantiated, so it should not be posted.

MySQL 26.10 Reference Manual / ... / MySQL Server Administration / MySQL Server Logs / The Binary Log / Setting The Binary Log Format
#### 7.4.4.2 Setting The Binary Log Format
You can select the binary logging format explicitly by starting the MySQL server with `--binlog-format=`type``. The supported values for `type` are:
* `STATEMENT` causes logging to be statement based.
* `ROW` causes logging to be row based. This is the default.
* `MIXED` causes logging to use mixed format.
Setting the binary logging format does not activate binary logging for the server. The setting only takes effect when binary logging is enabled on the server, which is the case when the `log_bin` system variable is set to `ON`. In MySQL 26.10, binary logging is enabled by default, and is disabled only if you start the server with `--skip-log-bin` or `--disable-log-bin`.
The logging format also can be switched at runtime, although note that there are a number of situations in which you cannot do this, as discussed later in this section. Set the global value of the `binlog_format` system variable to specify the format for clients that connect subsequent to the change:
`mysql> SET GLOBAL binlog_format = 'STATEMENT';
mysql> SET GLOBAL binlog_format = 'ROW';
mysql> SET GLOBAL binlog_format = 'MIXED';`
An individual client can control the logging format for its own statements by setting the session value of `binlog_format`:
`mysql> SET SESSION binlog_format = 'STATEMENT';
mysql> SET SESSION binlog_format = 'ROW';
mysql> SET SESSION binlog_format = 'MIXED';`
Changing the global `binlog_format` value requires privileges sufficient to set global system variables. Changing the session `binlog_format` value requires privileges sufficient to set restricted session system variables. See Section 7.1.9.1, “System Variable Privileges”.
There are several reasons why a client might want to set binary logging on a per-session basis:
* A session that makes many small changes to the database might want to use row-based logging.
* A session that performs updates that match many rows in the `WHERE` clause might want to use statement-based logging because it is more efficient to log a few statements than many rows.
* Some statements require a lot of execution time on the source, but result in just a few rows being modified. It might therefore be beneficial to replicate them using row-based logging.

There are several reasons why a client might want to set binary logging on a per-session basis:
* A session that makes many small changes to the database might want to use row-based logging.
Trying to switch the replication format in any of these cases (or attempting to set the current replication format) results in an error. You can, however, use `PERSIST_ONLY` (`SET @@PERSIST_ONLY.binlog_format`) to change the replication format at any time, because this action does not modify the runtime global system variable value, and takes effect only after a server restart.
Switching the replication format at runtime is not recommended when any temporary tables exist, because temporary tables are logged only when using statement-based replication, whereas with row-based replication and mixed replication, they are not logged.
Switching the replication format while replication is ongoing can also cause issues. Each MySQL Server can set its own and only its own binary logging format (true whether `binlog_format` is set with global or session scope). This means that changing the logging format on a replication source server does not cause a replica to change its logging format to match. When using `STATEMENT` mode, the `binlog_format` system variable is not replicated. When using `MIXED` or `ROW` logging mode, it is replicated but is ignored by the replica.
A replica is not able to convert binary log entries received in `ROW` logging format to `STATEMENT` format for use in its own binary log. The replica must therefore use `ROW` or `MIXED` format if the source does. Changing the binary logging format on the source from `STATEMENT` to `ROW` or `MIXED` while replication is ongoing to a replica with `STATEMENT` format can cause replication to fail with errors such as Error executing row event: 'Cannot execute statement: impossible to write to binary log since statement is in row format and BINLOG_FORMAT = STATEMENT.' Changing the binary logging format on the replica to `STATEMENT` format when the source is still using `MIXED` or `ROW` format also causes the same type of replication failure. To change the format safely, you must stop replication and ensure that the same change is made on both the source and the replica.
If you are using `InnoDB` tables and the transaction isolation level is `READ COMMITTED` or `READ UNCOMMITTED`, only row-based logging can be used. </excerpt>

MySQL 26.7 Reference Manual / ... / MySQL Server Administration / MySQL Server Logs / The Binary Log / Binary Logging Formats
#### 7.4.4.1 Binary Logging Formats
The server uses several logging formats to record information in the binary log:
* Replication capabilities in MySQL originally were based on propagation of SQL statements from source to replica. This is called statement-based logging. You can cause this format to be used by starting the server with `--binlog-format=STATEMENT`.
* In row-based logging (the default), the source writes events to the binary log that indicate how individual table rows are affected. You can cause the server to use row-based logging by starting it with `--binlog-format=ROW`.
* A third option is also available: mixed logging. With mixed logging, statement-based logging is used by default, but the logging mode switches automatically to row-based in certain cases as described below. You can cause MySQL to use mixed logging explicitly by starting mysqld with the option `--binlog-format=MIXED`.
The logging format can also be set or limited by the storage engine being used. This helps to eliminate issues when replicating certain statements between a source and replica which are using different storage engines.
With statement-based replication, there may be issues with replicating nondeterministic statements. In deciding whether or not a given statement is safe for statement-based replication, MySQL determines whether it can guarantee that the statement can be replicated using statement-based logging. If MySQL cannot make this guarantee, it marks the statement as potentially unreliable and issues the warning, Statement may not be safe to log in statement format.
You can avoid these issues by using MySQL's row-based replication instead.</excerpt>

MySQL 26.7 Reference Manual / ... / Replication Formats
### 19.2.1 Replication Formats
19.2.1.1 Advantages and Disadvantages of Statement-Based and Row-Based Replication
19.2.1.2 Usage of Row-Based Logging and Replication
19.2.1.3 Determination of Safe and Unsafe Statements in Binary Logging
Replication works because events written to the binary log are read from the source and then processed on the replica. The events are recorded within the binary log in different formats according to the type of event. The different replication formats used correspond to the binary logging format used when the events were recorded in the source's binary log. The correlation between binary logging formats and the terms used during replication are:
* When using statement-based binary logging, the source writes SQL statements to the binary log. Replication of the source to the replica works by executing the SQL statements on the replica. This is called statement-based replication (which can be abbreviated as SBR), which corresponds to the MySQL statement-based binary logging format.
NDB Cluster Replication uses row-based replication; that the `NDB` storage engine is incompatible with statement-based replication. See Section 25.7.2, “General Requirements for NDB Cluster Replication”, for more information.
When using `MIXED` format, the binary logging format is determined in part by the storage engine being used and the statement being executed. For more information on mixed-format logging and the rules governing the support of different logging formats, see Section 7.4.4.3, “Mixed Binary Logging Format”.
The logging format in a running MySQL server is controlled by setting the `binlog_format` server system variable. This variable can be set with session or global scope. The rules governing when and how the new setting takes effect are the same as for other MySQL server system variables. Setting the variable for the current session lasts only until the end of that session, and the change is not visible to other sessions. Setting the variable globally takes effect for clients that connect after the change, but not for any current client sessions, including the session where the variable setting was changed. To make the global system variable setting permanent so that it applies across server restarts, you must set it in an option file. For more information, see Section 15.7.6.1, “SET Syntax for Variable Assignment”.
There are conditions under which you cannot change the binary logging format at runtime or doing so causes replication to fail. See Section 7.4.4.2, “Setting The Binary Log Format”.
Changing the global `binlog_format` value requires privileges sufficient to set global system variables. Changing the session `binlog_format` value requires privileges sufficient to set restricted session system variables. See Section 7.1.9.1, “System Variable Privileges”.
Note
Changing the binary logging format (`binlog_format` system variable) was deprecated in MySQL 8.0; in a future version of MySQL, you can expect `binlog_format` to be removed altogether, and the row-based format to become the only logging format used by MySQL.
The statement-based and row-based replication formats have different issues and limitations. For a comparison of their relative advantages and disadvantages, see Section 19.2.…[truncated]</excerpt>

<title>MySQL :: MySQL 26.7 Reference Manual :: 19.1.6.4 Binary Logging Options and Variables</title>
<location>https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/26.7/en/replication-options-binary-log.html</location>
<excerpt>citeturn0search3 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: yesterday; For example, DDL statements such as `CREATE TABLE` and `ALTER TABLE` are always logged as statements, without regard to the logging format in effect, so the following statement-based rules for `--binlog-do-db` always apply in determining whether or not the statement is logged. ... Previously encrypted files are not automatically decrypted, but the server is still able to read them. ... When this variable is enabled on a replication source server (which is the default), transaction commit instructions issued to storage engines are serialized on a single thread, so that transactions are always committed in the same order as they are written to the binary log. ... For MySQL row-based replication, this variable determines how row images are written to the binary log.
Statement selection options. The options in the following list affect which statements are written to the binary log, and thus sent by a replication source server to its replicas. There are also options for replicas that control which statements received from the source should be executed or ignored. For details, see Section 19.1.6.3, “Replica Server Options and Variables”.
* `--binlog-do-db=`db_name``
Command-Line Format | `--binlog-do-db=name`
Type | String
This option affects binary logging in a manner similar to the way that `--replicate-do-db` affects replication.
The effects of this option depend on whether the statement-based or row-based logging format is in use, in the same way that the effects of `--replicate-do-db` depend on whether statement-based or row-based replication is in use. You should keep in mind that the format used to log a given statement may not necessarily be the same as that indicated by the value of `binlog_format`. If you are using statement-based logging, the updates to both tables are written to the binary log. However, when using the row-based format, only the changes to `table1` are logged; `table2` is in a different database, so it is not changed by the `UPDATE`. Now suppose that, instead of the `USE db1` statement, a `USE db4` statement had been used:
`USE db4;
UPDATE db1.table1, db2.table2 SET db1.table1.col1 = 10, db2.table2.col2 = 20;`
In this case, the `UPDATE` statement is not written to the binary log when using statement-based logging. However, when using row-based logging, the change to `table1` is logged, but not that to `table2`—in other words, only changes to tables in the database named by `--binlog-do-db` are logged, and the choice of default database has no effect on this behavior.
* `--binlog-ignore-db=`db_name``
Command-Line Format | `--binlog-ignore-db=name`
Type | String
This option affects binary logging in a manner similar to the way that `--replicate-ignore-db` affects replication.
The effects of this option depend on whether the statement-based or row-based logging format is in use, in the same way that the effects of `--replicate-ignore-db` depend on whether statement-based or row-based replication is in use. You should keep in mind that the format used to log a given statement may not necessarily be the same as that indicated by the value of `binlog_format`. For example, DDL statements such as `CREATE TABLE` and `ALTER TABLE` are always logged as statements, without regard to the logging format in effect, so the following statement-based rules for `--binlog-ignore-db` always apply in determining whether or not the statement is logged.
Statement-based logging. Tells the server to not log any statement where the default database (that is, the one selected by `USE`) is `db_name`.
When there is no default database, no `--binlog-ignore-db` options are applied, and such statements are always logged. (Bug #11829838, Bug #60188)

Changing the binary logging format on the source from `STATEMENT` to `ROW` or `MIXED` while replication is ongoing to a replica with `STATEMENT` format can cause replication to fail with errors such as Error executing row event: 'Cannot execute statement: impossible to write to binary log since statement is in row format and BINLOG_FORMAT = STATEMENT.' ...

#### 7.4.4.2 Setting The Binary Log Format
You can select the binary logging format explicitly by starting the MySQL server with `--binlog-format=`type``. The supported values for `type` are:
* `STATEMENT` causes logging to be statement based.
* `ROW` causes logging to be row based. This is the default.
* `MIXED` causes logging to use mixed format.
Setting the binary logging format does not activate binary logging for the server. The setting only takes effect when binary logging is enabled on the server, which is the case when the `log_bin` system variable is set to `ON`. In MySQL 26.10, binary logging is enabled by default, and is disabled only if you start the server with `--skip-log-bin` or `--disable-log-bin`.
The logging format also can be switched at runtime, although note that there are a number of situations in which you cannot do this, as discussed later in this section. Changing the binary logging format on the source from `STATEMENT` to `ROW` or `MIXED` while replication is ongoing to a replica with `STATEMENT` format can cause replication to fail with errors such as Error executing row event: 'Cannot execute statement: impossible to write to binary log since statement is in row format and BINLOG_FORMAT = STATEMENT.' Changing the binary logging format on the replica to `STATEMENT` format when the source is still using `MIXED` or `ROW` format also causes the same type of replication failure. To change the format safely, you must stop replication and ensure that the same change is made on both the source and the replica.
If you are using `InnoDB` tables and the transaction isolation level is `READ COMMITTED` or `READ UNCOMMITTED`, only row-based logging can be used. It is possible to change the logging format to `STATEMENT`, but doing so at runtime leads very rapidly to errors because `InnoDB` can no longer perform inserts.
With the binary log format set to `ROW`, many changes are written to the binary log using the row-based format. </excerpt>

<excerpt>citeturn0search0 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: yesterday; In releases prior to MySQL 8.0, when mixed binary logging format was in use, if a statement was logged by row and the session that executed the statement had any temporary tables, all subsequent statements were treated as unsafe and logged in row-based format until all temporary tables in use by that session were dropped. ... `InnoDB` | Yes | Yes when the transaction isolation level is `REPEATABLE READ` or `SERIALIZABLE`; No otherwise. ... Unsafe | `MIXED` | Yes | No | Error: Cannot execute statement: Binary logging of an unsafe statement is impossible when the storage engine is limited to statement-based logging, even if `BINLOG_FORMAT = MIXED`.

#### 7.4.4.3 Mixed Binary Logging Format
When running in `MIXED` logging format, the server automatically switches from statement-based to row-based logging under the following conditions:
* When a function contains `UUID()`.
* When one or more tables with `AUTO_INCREMENT` columns are updated and a trigger or stored function is invoked. Like all other unsafe statements, this generates a warning if `binlog_format = STATEMENT`.
For more information, see Section 19.5.1.1, “Replication and AUTO_INCREMENT”.
* When the body of a view requires row-based replication, the statement creating the view also uses it. For example, this occurs when the statement creating a view uses the `UUID()` function.
* When a call to a loadable function is involved.
* When `FOUND_ROWS()` or `ROW_COUNT()` is used. (Binary injection refers to logging a change that must be logged using `ROW` format.)
Statements may be logged with or without a warning; failed statements are not logged, but generate errors in the log. This is shown in the following decision table. Type, binlog_format, SLC, and RLC columns outline the conditions, and Error / Warning and Logged as columns represent the corresponding actions. SLC stands for “statement-logging capable”, and RLC stands for “row-logging capable”.
Type | `binlog_format` | SLC | RLC | Error / Warning | Logged as

Preserve statement-based binary logging compatibility.
When Post.edit has no caller-supplied transaction, it starts a MySQL transaction with isolationLevel: 'read committed'. MySQL does not support statement-based logging for InnoDB transactions at this isolation level, so the edit writes can fail on servers using binlog_format=STATEMENT.
Retain the previous isolation level when the connection uses statement-based logging, or enforce a compatible row-based logging configuration and return a clear Ghost error if it is not available. Caller-supplied transactions bypass this helper and are not affected by this branch.

Update the transaction configuration in the helper that wraps
`postEditTransactions` so internally created transactions use an isolation level
compatible with the connection’s statement-based binary logging. Preserve the
previous isolation level when statement-based logging is enabled, or enforce
compatible row-based logging and return a clear Ghost error if unavailable;
leave caller-supplied transactions unchanged.

Concurrent edits of different posts can deadlock while reading shared tags and revision authors or adding tag links. Use READ COMMITTED for transactions started by a single-post edit and avoid locking author records that the edit only reads.
Keep the existing post and tag locks, stale-edit rejection, rollback behavior, and commit-time model events. Transactions started by callers keep their existing behavior.
