Problem

get_db_client() in auth.py falls back to creating a new DatabaseClient on every call if _db_client is not initialized, and the init_db_client() function must be called explicitly at startup. If anything calls get_db_client() before init_db_client() runs, a fresh client is created each time — bypassing the connection pool and potentially exhausting database connections under load.

What to do

  • Audit all call sites to confirm init_db_client() is always called before any auth endpoint is reachable.
  • Add a startup check (FastAPI lifespan or @app.on_event("startup")) that explicitly calls init_db_client() and raises clearly if the database is unreachable.
  • Add a test that verifies repeated calls to get_db_client() return the same object instance.

Acceptance criteria

  • get_db_client() always returns the same DatabaseClient instance after startup.
  • Startup fails loudly (not silently) if DATABASE_URL is invalid.
  • Existing test suite continues to pass.

Roadmap ref: P1 — Error handling and resilience (_jobs dict / db client pool)

## Problem `get_db_client()` in `auth.py` falls back to creating a new `DatabaseClient` on every call if `_db_client` is not initialized, and the `init_db_client()` function must be called explicitly at startup. If anything calls `get_db_client()` before `init_db_client()` runs, a fresh client is created each time — bypassing the connection pool and potentially exhausting database connections under load. ## What to do - Audit all call sites to confirm `init_db_client()` is always called before any auth endpoint is reachable. - Add a startup check (FastAPI `lifespan` or `@app.on_event("startup")`) that explicitly calls `init_db_client()` and raises clearly if the database is unreachable. - Add a test that verifies repeated calls to `get_db_client()` return the same object instance. ## Acceptance criteria - [ ] `get_db_client()` always returns the same `DatabaseClient` instance after startup. - [ ] Startup fails loudly (not silently) if `DATABASE_URL` is invalid. - [ ] Existing test suite continues to pass.

Triage (AI-Manager): Assigned to @AI-Engineer.

This is a P1 small bug fix — singleton pattern issue in auth.py get_db_client(). Straightforward fix: ensure init_db_client() runs at startup via FastAPI lifespan, and that get_db_client() always returns the same instance. Add a test verifying identity of returned objects.

Priority: P1 — address before other work to prevent connection pool exhaustion.

[Repo Manager] This issue is resolved. auth.py already implements a proper singleton pattern with _db_client module-level variable, init_db_client() for startup initialization, get_db_client() for lazy access, and close_db_client() for shutdown cleanup.
