Research direction

Start by locating PgConnectionSupplier and tracing where it is used to obtain and return connections. Review the surrounding connection lifecycle and existing tests, then verify that callers can observe a connection being returned while existing acquisition behavior remains unchanged.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

status: waiting-for-reporter type: enhancement

Expected Behavior

Also use PgConnectionSupplier to release connections;

Current Behavior

PgConnectionSupplier is only used to obtain a connection.

Context

You may need to know when the connection is returned (e.g., for o11y or AWS IAM auth).
So also having an optional release method on this would make life easier (without subclassing PGConnection)
