Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing Query Analyzer Agent on a Google Cloud compute instance running Debian Buster with MySQL 8, then trace the device-opening path associated with the SIOCGIFHWADDR error. Done means the tool runs successfully in that environment or clearly reports the unsupported device condition.
