What this PR does:

session holds its connection through an embedded Connection interface. gc() and Reset() set s.Connection = nil when a session shuts down. Most exported methods have session-level overrides that snapshot the connection under s.lock and no-op when it is nil (Send, ReadTimeout, SetSession, ...), but SetReadTimeout, SetWriteTimeout, SetCompressType and CloseConn were missing, so they resolved to the promoted interface methods and panicked with a nil pointer dereference when called on a gc'd/Reset session (for example from an OnCron/OnError callback that still holds the session). This adds the four missing overrides mirroring the existing ReadTimeout guard.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
Fixes #122

Special notes for your reviewer:

Added TestSetMethodsAfterGCDoNotPanic in transport/session_test.go, which calls gc() and then the four methods; it panics on master and passes with this change. Full go test ./transport/ is green.

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?:

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The session now safely handles four connection methods after its embedded connection is cleared. A regression test verifies that timeout, compression, and close operations do not panic after session.gc().

Session safety

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guarded connection delegation
transport/session.go, transport/session_test.go
session adds nil-safe delegation for SetReadTimeout, SetWriteTimeout, SetCompressType, and CloseConn. The regression test calls all four methods after gc() clears the connection.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 4598f

The PR prevents callbacks from panicking when using a session after cleanup. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains; only minor test cleanup and additional path coverage follow-up may be considered.

Cover the Reset() cleanup path.

Reset() clears Connection directly and does not call gc(). Add a fresh-session subtest that calls Reset(), verifies Connection == nil, and invokes the same four methods.

Handle the deferred cleanup errors.

errcheck reports the ignored return values from c1.Close() and c2.Close() at Line [509] and Line [510]. If this linter runs in CI, the test fails lint. Check each error, or explicitly discard it when that is intentional.

Proposed cleanup
-	defer c1.Close()
-	defer c2.Close()
+	t.Cleanup(func() {
+		if err := c1.Close(); err != nil {
+			t.Errorf("close c1: %v", err)
+		}
+	})
+	t.Cleanup(func() {
+		if err := c2.Close(); err != nil {
+			t.Errorf("close c2: %v", err)
+		}
+	})
