DBugScribe: Automatic Database Bug Reproduction from Community Reports

Summary: DBugScribe automatically converts natural-language DBMS bug reports into validated, executable multi-dimensional reproduction scenarios. Its semantic DSL and LLM/rule-based self-refining synthesis achieves 72.9% reproduction on 218 MySQL, TiDB, and MariaDB reports, while building a reusable bug knowledge base.
