Recommended action: Switch to the maintained 'mysql2' package (API-compatible for most uses) which supports caching_sha2_password. Downgrading the account to mysql_native_password is a dead end on MySQL 8.4+/9.x.
Option: Use mysql2 [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: See record scope.
Steps:
1. npm install mysql2
2. Replace require('mysql') with require('mysql2') (or mysql2/promise)
Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
