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.

What to do

  • Identify where the shared DatabaseClient instance is created in the codebase (likely in database.py or main.py)
  • Replace the per-call instantiation in auth.py with a dependency on the shared pooled client (e.g. via FastAPI Depends(get_db))
  • Ensure that the same pooled client pattern is used consistently across all modules that access the database

Acceptance criteria

  • auth.py no longer creates a DatabaseClient inside get_db_client()
  • All database access in the auth module flows through the shared pooled client
  • No regression in existing auth tests (registration, login, protected routes)

Closing as already implemented. SPARC/database.py uses psycopg2.pool.ThreadedConnectionPool with configurable min/max connections and a context manager that checks out and returns connections properly.
