Subject: [PATCH] ci: confirm the directory's schema migration when the test
 directory starts

The database is created by the CLI, so the service's own migration (20250924_directory_schema) asked for confirmation on stdin and the service exited. This run tests that the directory starts and the group and channel get listed.
