Add test-env setup script and skill for Claude Code cloud sessions

[phacops]

Summary

Adds an on-demand script + skill that prepares an ephemeral Linux container (e.g. a Claude Code cloud session) for running the Snuba test suite, where nothing is installed and the Docker daemon is not running.

This is intentionally a standalone script rather than a session-start hook — uv sync plus pulling the clickhouse/redis/kafka images takes several minutes, so we only pay that cost on demand when tests are actually needed.

Changes

• scripts/setup-test-env.sh — idempotent setup script that:
  1. Installs sentry-devenv via the official bash installer
  2. Runs uv sync --frozen --active, which creates .venv and compiles the native rust_snuba extension into it (no separate maturin develop needed); devservices comes along as a dev dependency
  3. Starts the Docker daemon (sudo dockerd) if it isn't already running
  4. Brings up devservices (clickhouse, redis, kafka)
• .claude/skills/setup-test-env/SKILL.md — companion skill so the environment can be set up on demand, documenting the correct test invocation.
• devservices/config.yml — lower the clickhouse nofile ulimit from 262144 to soft 1024 / hard 4096 so the container can start in environments without CAP_SYS_RESOURCE (the previous value cannot be applied there and made clickhouse fail to start).

Notes / gotchas

• pytest must be run from inside tests/. Invoking it from the repo root loads test_distributed_migrations/conftest.py, whose pytest_configure connects to a multi-node clickhouse host (clickhouse-query) that single-node devservices doesn't provide, causing an INTERNALERROR before any test runs. Documented in the skill:

  (cd tests && SNUBA_SETTINGS=test ../.venv/bin/pytest <path/to/test_file.py> -m "not ci_only")

• devenv refuses to run as root and devenv sync is Homebrew-based, so in the cloud container the functional path is uv sync + devservices, not devenv sync. The global devenv install is included only for parity with local laptop setups.

Validation

• ✅ Setup script runs end-to-end and is idempotent; clickhouse/redis/kafka all report healthy
• ✅ ruff check passes
• ✅ Tests pass (2 passed) using the documented invocation

Bug: The nofile ulimit for ClickHouse in devservices/config.yml is reduced to 4096. This low limit is likely to be exhausted during local test runs, causing failures.
_{Severity: HIGH}

Suggested Fix

To avoid impacting all local development environments, consider using separate Docker Compose configurations. Revert the ulimit change in the general-purpose devservices/config.yml and create a new, specialized configuration file (e.g., docker-compose.cloud.yml) with the lower nofile limit specifically for the cloud container environment that requires it. This isolates the restrictive setting to only the environment where it is necessary.

Potential issue: The `nofile` ulimit for ClickHouse in `devservices/config.yml` has been
reduced to a hard limit of `4096`. This configuration is used by the `devservices` tool
for local development environments. ClickHouse is known to require a high number of file
descriptors, especially under load. The Snuba test suite performs numerous concurrent
operations, which will likely exceed this low limit, causing tests to fail with "Too
many open files" errors. This impacts any developer running the test suite locally.

This lower limit is intentional. The sandboxed cloud containers these scripts target lack CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, so the daemon's own nofile hard limit is capped at 4096 — runc can't grant a container a higher limit than that, and the original 262144 made the clickhouse container fail to start entirely (error setting rlimit type 7: operation not permitted). Any value ≤ 4096 is the only thing that works there.

The suggested split (a separate docker-compose.cloud.yml) isn't cleanly doable: devservices up invokes docker compose -f devservices/config.yml ... directly and offers no override-file mechanism, so a sibling compose file wouldn't be picked up.

In practice 4096 is sufficient for a dev/test clickhouse — the test suite passes against it. Keeping the single shared value for simplicity per maintainer decision.
