Summary

Closes #226

  • Add a shared AsyncConnectionPool (psycopg_pool) in deep_agent/aegra/db.py with connect_timeout=5 and min/max pool sizes of 2/10
  • Expose async_connection() context manager that uses the pool when available, falls back to direct connection with connect_timeout=5 when pool is not initialized
  • Wire pool init into startup.py and pool close into shutdown.py
  • Replace 25+ direct psycopg.AsyncConnection.connect() calls across personalization, feedback, mcp_token_store, and memory modules with the shared helper
  • Add connect_timeout=5 to remaining direct connections (2 sync calls in lifecycle, 1 async in health check)
  • Add 10 unit tests for the pool module
  • Update all existing test mocks to patch async_connection instead of psycopg.AsyncConnection.connect

Test plan

  • All 1181 unit tests pass (uv run pytest)
  • New tests/unit/aegra/test_db.py covers init, close, get_pool, async_connection pool path, row_factory, fallback path, and error handling
  • Pre-commit hooks pass (ruff, mypy, bandit, pydocstyle)

Centralise all PostgreSQL access behind a shared AsyncConnectionPool
(psycopg_pool) so that connection overhead is amortised across requests
and connect_timeout is enforced uniformly. Without a timeout, a stale
DNS entry or unreachable host hangs for the OS-level TCP timeout
(typically 2+ minutes), stalling request threads and health probes.

- Add deep_agent/aegra/db.py with init_pool/close_pool/async_connection
- Wire pool init into startup.py and pool close into shutdown.py
- Replace 25 direct psycopg.AsyncConnection.connect() calls across
  personalization, feedback, mcp_token_store, and memory modules
- Add connect_timeout=5 to 2 sync psycopg.connect() calls in lifecycle
  and 3 remaining async sites (health, startup, lifecycle)
- Add unit tests for the pool module (10 tests)
- Update existing test mocks to use async_connection

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Adds a shared asynchronous PostgreSQL connection pool with five-second connection timeouts and direct-connection fallback. Startup initializes the pool, and shutdown closes it. Asynchronous database call sites use async_connection, while dictionary-row behavior remains unchanged. Remaining direct connections use the same timeout. Unit tests cover pool behavior, lifecycle cleanup, and updated connection mocks.

Fixed issue severity: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 74e0d

The change centralizes PostgreSQL connections and adds pooling, but the current head can still use the wrong database for repository operations, leak result-row configuration between callers, and orphan pool resources during concurrent startup; two changed tests also fail during setup. These create concrete data-correctness and runtime/readiness risks, so the PR is not merge-ready without fixes.

- Around line 42-48: Update the pool initialization flow around
AsyncConnectionPool so the newly created pool remains local, explicitly waits
for open() readiness, and is assigned to the shared _pool only after opening
succeeds. Preserve the existing connection settings and ensure initialization
failures leave the direct fallback available.
- Around line 75-79: Update the pooled connection context around
_pool.connection() to restore the connection’s original row_factory before it is
released, including when kwargs.get("row_factory") is dict_row. Preserve
dict_row behavior for the current caller while ensuring subsequent default
requests reuse the pool connection with its original factory.

As per path instructions that permit flagging tests which silently pass or lack assertions, these patches do not record or assert async_connection calls, so the tests pass if create_memory or upsert_rule acquires a connection before rejecting content; bind each patch as mock_connect and assert mock_connect.assert_not_called().
