AGENTS.md says: "Add a YAML fixture whenever the test is purely
SQL-input → SQL-output. Reach for a Go test only when the scenario
can't be expressed that way." diff/tables_test.go drifted from that
guidance — most of its 17 tests parsed two SQL strings, called
DiffTables, and asserted on the produced SQL, which is exactly what
the plan/apply YAML harness already does end-to-end against a real
MySQL.

Audit:
- 13 tests deleted: had matching YAML fixtures (TestDiffEmptyToOneTable,
  AddColumn, DropColumnSuppressed/Allowed, ModifyColumnType,
  ModifyColumnDefault, DropTableAllowed, AddIndex, AddForeignKey,
  DiffNoChanges) or were one rename away from one (DropPolicyWildcard).
- 6 new YAML fixtures fill the cases that lacked a YAML equivalent:
  apply/add_check_constraint, apply/drop_check_constraint,
  apply/wildcard_allow_drop, plan/disallowed_drop_table,
  plan/disallowed_drop_check_constraint, plan/disallowed_drop_index,
  plan/disallowed_drop_foreign_key, plan/drop_table_cascades_fk.
- 2 tests kept in Go because YAML can't express them:
    TestDropPolicyNilFallsBackToAllowAll — nil DropChecker is an
      internal API contract; the CLI never produces nil.
    TestDiffDropTableWithFKOrdering — pins the bucket separation
      between FKDropStmts and DropStmts, which the YAML harness
      flattens into one plan body.

Side effect: surfaced two real MySQL behaviours captured in fixture
comments —
  - MySQL auto-creates a same-named index alongside every FK, so
    suppressed FK drops surface as both a `DROP INDEX fk` and a
    `DROP FOREIGN KEY fk` skipped comment. Documented in
    plan/disallowed_drop_foreign_key.yml.
  - --allow-drop=all emits a column drop AND a same-column index drop
    even though the column drop already removes the index, so
    `DROP INDEX` then fails. The wildcard fixture sidesteps this by
    exercising table+constraint+view drops together; a follow-up TODO
    will fix the index-drop suppression for column-dependent indexes.

Coverage: local diff/ coverage drops from 69% to 31% — but
`-coverpkg=./...` from the root package shows 74% of the total
codebase is covered via the YAML harness. The "lost" coverage is
recouped one layer up; net effect is fewer assertions saying the
same thing.

Copilot pointed out that the comment overstated the case: with this
fixture's `posts` then `users` drop order (alphabetical TABLE_NAME),
MySQL would in fact accept `DROP TABLE users` even without the
explicit FK drop, because the child table is gone first.

The real invariant is the bucket separation in DiffTables —
FKDropStmts run before any DropStmts entry — so the plan is robust
against future drop-ordering changes and against variants where the
parent comes first alphabetically.

Copilot pushed back: the previous "robust under any future DROP-order
change" wording overstated what a strict-string-equality YAML plan
field can verify. If we ever reorder the drops, this fixture fails on
purpose — that's the point.

Reword to: this fixture pins the *current* deterministic ordering
(FKDropStmts then TABLE_NAME-ordered DropStmts), and Go's
TestDiffDropTableWithFKOrdering pins the bucket separation that makes
the plan correct under parent-alphabetically-first variants.
