From 8d5ea7563d4a103b92c52c295906fb052e52ef7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Malcolm Daigle Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 12:19:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/19] Enable UseConnectionPoolV2 by default Flip the default value of the UseConnectionPoolV2 AppContext switch from false to true, making the new Channel-based connection pool (ChannelDbConnectionPool) the default implementation.

Without Unwrap(), Task.WhenAny observed only the outer task, which completed as soon as the async lambda hit its first await, rather than waiting for RunPacketNumberWraparound to actually finish. This masked itself under the legacy WaitHandleDbConnectionPool's synchronous-leaning timing, but was exposed by ChannelDbConnectionPool's genuinely asynchronous pooled open path, producing spurious low-enumerator-count failures. Also capture and await the winning task when it is actionTask so any unexpected failure (e.g. a connection open failure) propagates as a real exception instead of surfacing only as a generic count mismatch.
