A PostgresDatabase no longer runs out of connections when the program scales. It now runs PgBouncer, in session mode, inside its own unit. A client that finds every connection busy waits for one instead of being refused, and one firing still keeps one real session.

What breaks for people who update

• Clients outside the program sign in as app instead of weft. The password, host and port are the same, and weft infra env writes the new user.
• A frontend's pool must expect the database to close a connection that sits idle for a minute.
• An extension that needs the superuser goes in the node's new extensions setting.

What else changes

The database:

• Existing databases are converted on their next start: the new role app is created and given ownership of everything the superuser owned.
• Any existing database name keeps working. A name the pooler cannot read as written is reached through a door name made from it, which the connection carries.
• A new database needs Postgres 14 or later. An existing older one keeps running without closing idle sessions, and warns of that on its card and in weft infra status through the new InfraSpec.notes.
• The credential container passes the database name to psql through PGDATABASE, so a name containing = is read as a name.
• It retries a refused setup every 30 seconds and shows why it is not ready on /health.
• A reset whose password file cannot be written puts the role's exact old verifier back, so the pooler keeps working.

The Postgres nodes:

• Connections a worker pools are closed after 5 seconds idle.
• Watching queries use their own share of the pooler's connections and lift the idle limit for their own session.
• A stopping worker gives back what its runs shared.

The rest of weft:

• Cloud Run: after a settings change or an activation, the dispatcher reads the stored settings fresh, under the project's front lock, and removes that program's revisions under any other settings.
• Infra setup, trigger setup and rebake failures now carry the reason the run failed with.
• A failing health check's body now shows in weft infra status.
• The fake node-test rig holds a publish to the access store's own check, against service recipes resolved over the whole catalog. The test hashes include those recipes.
• The CLI test fake keeps a "closed" port bound for the life of the test process, so a parallel test cannot take it.

Tests run locally

• Everything ci.yml and docs.yml run passes.
• The four postgres e2e tests pass, including a new one: a watching query through the pooler keeps working past the one-minute idle limit.
• A by-hand run on the real images: an old-style database named my-app is carried over with its rows.
