I took a look at these files, but I'm still unsure how to use them for automated prompt checking - I'm not super familiar with the perl tests, to be honest.

Yeah, you can see from the code coverage report [1] that session_username() isn't reached in our tests. It's only used if the psql prompt string is set to use it, and testing that in an interesting way is kind of hard --- our standard regression-script framework doesn't expose prompt output. On balance I'm not sure that covering session_username() would be worth the test cycles. [1] https://coverage.postgresql.org/src/bin/psql/common.c.gcov.html
So, yes I don't think we can auto-test it really, thus we'll have to rely on these simple functional tests.
