Description
Built Dolt 1.58.10 which is a patch release of an older Dolt binary 1.58.8 with minimal code changes, and observed that when the dolt sql-server Docker image was built for this binary from the docker source stuff on main (1.83.1 at the time of this), the customer reported 30% flakiness/failure rates in tests, run via testcontainers. After rebuilding the Docker image using the docker source stuff that was on 1.58.8 instead, customer reports no more flake issues.

Research direction
Compare the Docker source used for Dolt 1.58.8 with the source on main at 1.83.1, starting from the dolt sql-server image build and the testcontainers-based tests described in the report. Reproduce the reported flakiness with the 1.58.10 binary and determine whether the image-version difference explains it; done means the cause is identified and the tests no longer show the reported failures.
