During the audit the dev server twice entered a stuck state where every
query 500'd with `write CONNECT_TIMEOUT` while the DB was healthy (1/100
connections used, queryable from psql immediately). The Docker bridge can
silently drop TCP sockets and postgres-js holds the stale handles until
max_lifetime expires.
- connect_timeout: 10 → 5 (fail fast)
- max_lifetime: 30min → 10min (recycle before staleness accumulates)
- onnotice: surface NOTICE/WARNING for visibility
Reduces the window of stuck state. Full recovery still requires a
restart if the pool hard-fails. pgbouncer in production is the proper
long-term answer; this is the safe one-file change.
