When unset, behaviour is unchanged and no second pool is created.app/ioc.py:database_engine(primary),database_replica_engine(AsyncEngine | None), and a request-scopeddynamic_enginechosen bychoose_sa_engine. The session getsdynamic_enginevia explicit kwargs.dynamic_enginewith the rolled-back connection, so reads and writes still share one transaction.tests/test_db_routing.pycovers method routing, no-request fallback, no-replica fallback, and building the replica engine from the DSN.Design notes
