Context

Roadmap item: P1 - Error handling and resilience

get_db_client() in auth.py creates a new DatabaseClient on every call. This bypasses the connection pool and can exhaust database connections under load.

Task

  • Refactor auth.py so that the DatabaseClient instance is shared (e.g., via FastAPI dependency injection using Depends(), a module-level singleton, or the same pattern used elsewhere in the codebase)
  • Ensure the pooled client is properly initialized at startup and closed at shutdown
  • Verify no other files instantiate DatabaseClient outside of the pooling mechanism

Acceptance Criteria

  • A single DatabaseClient instance (or pool) is reused across all auth requests
  • No new DatabaseClient is created per-request in auth routes
  • Existing auth tests continue to pass
  • Load test or code review confirms connection count does not grow unboundedly

Resolved: auth.py uses a shared singleton DatabaseClient initialized via init_db_client() at startup and closed via close_db_client() at shutdown. No per-call instantiation. Merged via PR #30.

Closing as resolved -- the implementation is merged into main.
