Describe the problem you're encountering
Hello.
Nouveau stopped working on one of our customers nodes today. This is a standalone node replicated to three other Nodes. The other 3 standalone nodes are still working as expected.
Request to a nouveau ddoc in CouchDB takes forever and times out in our application and with curl. The following paste is from the CouchDB Log:

Lines like this are logged for every nouveau request:

Nouveau is still reachable:
curl http://127.0.0.1:5987/
{"error":"forbidden", "reason": "requests with a User-Agent header not currently supported"}
I checked the index with
curl http://10.x.x.x:5984/evidence-2026-02/_design/EVIDENCE_VIEW/_nouveau_info/AST_CHANNEL_IDS_UTC_C076
{"name":"_design/EVIDENCE_VIEW/AST_CHANNEL_IDS_UTC_C076","search_index":{"update_seq":1271812,"purge_seq":0,"num_docs":552944,"disk_size":54744504,"signature":"63d1ee259368069b85f2525040a2174f3618ab304d554f624208e93f1bd886b0"}}
I the used:

to query all 16 shards directly in nouveau. All shards return an answer immediately. The same query does not work using CouchDB.
