/**
* CWE-407 unit tests for TypeORM.
*
* typeorm-0001: OrmUtils.uniq — O(n^2) reduce+find/indexOf
* File: src/util/OrmUtils.ts lines 66-87
* Pattern: array.reduce with uniqueArray.find() or uniqueArray.indexOf()
* inside the accumulator. Called from every driver's loadTables() during
* schema synchronisation — e.g. 6 calls in PostgresQueryRunner alone.
* With N constraints, O(N^2) per call. Fix: Map/Set keyed lookup.
*
* typeorm-0002: SubjectChangedColumnsComputer — diffColumns.includes() + double-scan
* File: src/persistence/SubjectChangedColumnsComputer.ts lines 51-56, 216
* Pattern A (line 51+56): changeMaps.find() then immediately changeMaps.indexOf()
* to splice — two full O(n) scans where one findIndex() would do.
* Pattern B (line 216): subject.diffColumns.includes(column) inside
* forEach(columns) — diffColumns grows as the loop runs, O(cols^2) per subject.
* Hot path: called on every entity save/update operation.
*
* typeorm-0003: UpdateQueryBuilder — updatedColumns.includes() in nested loop
* File: src/query-builder/UpdateQueryBuilder.ts line 534
* Pattern: forEach(propertyPath) → columns.forEach → updatedColumns.includes(column)
* updatedColumns grows across outer iterations. O(propertyPaths * cols^2).
* Hot path: every UPDATE query via query builder.
