+// applyMigration executes a single migration file by parsing and applying its statements.

+//   - SQL statements: executed against the database
+//   - Callback commands: processed via registered callback handlers (format: -- CALL function_name;)
+//   - Regular comments: silently skipped (format: -- any comment text)
+//
+// The function maintains migration state by tracking the number of completed statements,

+// Parameters:
+//   - ctx: context for cancellation and timeouts
+//   - session: database session for executing statements
+//   - f: filesystem containing the migration file
+//   - path: path to the migration file within the filesystem
+//   - done: number of statements already completed (for resuming partial migrations)
+//
+// Returns an error if the migration fails at any point.
