When trust authentication [1] is specified, PostgreSQL assumes that anyone who can connect to the server is authorized to access the database with whatever database user name they specify (even superuser). Since this action is intended to be used on CI, this is unlikely a desired behaviour. First, all credentials are known and must be specified in order to avoid flakes. Second, most commonly folks around there want to test that secrets are gathered and passed down to the database server correctly. This patch turns off 'trust' authentication for the PostgreSQL server. [1] https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/auth-trust.html Resolves #5
