Context

get_db_client() in auth.py creates a new DatabaseClient instance on every call. Under any real load this exhausts database connections because no pooling occurs.

Roadmap reference: ROADMAP.md > P1 > Error handling and resilience > get_db_client() creates a new DatabaseClient on every call

What to do

  1. Identify where DatabaseClient initializes its connection pool (likely in database.py).
  2. Refactor auth.py to accept the shared DatabaseClient instance (via FastAPI dependency injection or a module-level singleton) rather than constructing a new one.
  3. Verify that the same pooled client used in the rest of the app is reused in auth routes.
  4. Write or update a test that exercises concurrent auth requests to confirm no connection-exhaustion error occurs.

Acceptance criteria

  • get_db_client() in auth.py does not instantiate a new DatabaseClient.
  • Auth routes use the same shared/pooled client as the rest of the API.
  • No regression in existing auth tests.
