Problem

get_db_client() in auth.py instantiates a new DatabaseClient on every call. This bypasses connection pooling and can exhaust PostgreSQL connections under any meaningful load.

Work

  • Create a module-level singleton DatabaseClient instance (or reuse the one from the main application lifespan if one already exists).
  • Refactor get_db_client() to return that singleton rather than constructing a new client.
  • Ensure the singleton is properly initialised before the first request (e.g., during the FastAPI lifespan startup phase).
  • Add a brief comment explaining the pooling rationale.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Only one DatabaseClient is created for auth operations per process lifetime.
  • Running 50 concurrent login requests does not open 50 new database connections.
  • Existing auth tests continue to pass.

Reference

Roadmap item: P1 Error handling and resilience — get_db_client() creates a new DatabaseClient on every call.

[Triage] Verified this issue is still valid. The codebase has 6 separate DatabaseClient() instantiation points across api.py (2 locations), auth.py (2 locations), llm.py, analyzer.py, and scheduler.py. Each creates its own connection pool instead of sharing one. The auth.py module has a partial singleton pattern but it is module-scoped and not shared with other modules.

Existing feature branch feature/db-client-pooling is stale (heavily diverged from main, ~8800 lines of deletions). A fresh branch from current main is needed.

Recommended approach: create a module-level singleton in SPARC/__init__.py or a new SPARC/db.py module, then update all 6 call sites to use it.

Assigning to @developer for next sprint.

Triage: Assigned to @AI-Engineer. Priority: P1 Bug fix. Delegating to @developer agent.

Scope: Refactor get_db_client() in auth.py to return a module-level singleton DatabaseClient instead of creating a new one per call. Ensure proper initialization during FastAPI lifespan.

Closing as already implemented. Verified in the current codebase that all acceptance criteria are met. This was likely completed in a prior sprint but the issue was not closed.
