Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Set POSTGRES_PASSWORD (or POSTGRES_PASSWORD_FILE) — check that compose variable substitution isn't producing an empty string; POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust only for throwaway local containers.
Option: Provide the password [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See record scope.
Steps:
1. docker run -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=... postgres
2. GitHub Actions services: env: POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
