[postgres-pool] add POSTGRES_CREDS_POOL_MAX_CONNECTIONS for the space_creds pool - #1721
Adds an optional POSTGRES_CREDS_POOL_MAX_CONNECTIONS that sets the max size of space_creds pools (CredentialsPool::connect / connect_lazy). When it's unset, those pools keep using POSTGRES_POOL_MAX_CONNECTIONS, the same as today. space_user pools and the explicitly capped sideline pools don't change.
The API, admin API, and cluster controller each open a space_user pool and a space_creds pool, and both pools were capped at POSTGRES_POOL_MAX_CONNECTIONS. So each process could hold up to twice the configured value, and a deployment sized against a Postgres max_connections budget using the single knob undercounted by 2×. In the API, space_creds only serves a few admin routes, so its pool needs a small fraction of the general pool's size. With this knob, deployments can cap it separately and budget the general pool on its own.
The knob is opt-in. Deployments that don't set it behave as they do today.
Validation
New the_creds_pool_cap_applies_only_to_space_creds: with POSTGRES_POOL_MAX_CONNECTIONS=50 and POSTGRES_CREDS_POOL_MAX_CONNECTIONS=4, a space_user pool's max is 50 and a space_creds pool's max is 4.
pplx-space-postgres-pool tests: 13/13 pass, including the existing capped-pool and floor tests. Clippy and fmt are clean.
Kind smoke runs in CI on this head; the kind charts don't set the new variable, so they exercise the unset path.
Severity and risk
Severity: does not apply on its own. It's the knob that lets deployments budget Postgres connections accurately.
Risk: none while unset. If set, a space_creds pool smaller than its peak concurrency fails acquires on credential-lane calls after POSTGRES_POOL_ACQUIRE_TIMEOUT_SECS. Roll back by unsetting the variable.
AI assistance: Perplexity Computer drafted the code, tests, and this description.
Processes that open both pools sized each at POSTGRES_POOL_MAX_CONNECTIONS,
so their connection ceiling was twice the general cap. Unset keeps today's
behavior.
PostgreSQL pool connection limits now depend on DatabaseIdentity. SpaceUser uses POSTGRES_POOL_MAX_CONNECTIONS, while SpaceCreds uses POSTGRES_CREDS_POOL_MAX_CONNECTIONS and falls back to the general setting when it is unset. Invalid or out-of-range values fall back to the applicable default. Pool constructors pass the identity to the shared options builder, and a test checks the limits for both lazy pools.

perplexityai/SPACE#1574: Introduced the PostgreSQL pool code and shared options builder that this change updates.
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 077a8
The new limit affects credentials pools across multiple services. Add a test for the unset-setting fallback before merging; the existing-deployment limit remains unchanged when the setting is unset.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 077a8
The new setting preserves existing behavior when unset and does not change database identities or permissions. A configured limit that is too small can interrupt credential operations. Deployment-wide connection budgets and restart behavior still need operational validation.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The changed control is per-pool capacity within each configured process, not a tenant authorization boundary. Undersizing can affect credential operations sharing that pool, including credential-manager database work; it does not reserve PostgreSQL capacity across replicas or services.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — In the inspected sandbox-owner lookup, database failures propagate as CredentialStoreError rather than producing a substitute owner. Combined with the unchanged managed-identity constructors, this supports error propagation rather than an alternate-identity fallback under pool exhaustion.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Sampled KEK provisioning obtains provider material before acquiring its transaction, then persists the KEK and wrapped blob on one transaction connection. Concurrent insertion losers roll back before re-reading the winner. An acquire failure before the transaction creates no database authority record, although provider-side orphan cleanup remains external. This ordering predates the PR.

Bug Fixes Name A Regression Test
The Validation section names the_creds_pool_cap_applies_only_to_space_creds. The test checks a credentials cap of 4; the base code would use the general cap of 50.
Weakened Safeguards Are Justified
The diff does not weaken an existing safeguard or change review guidance. The new test runs in an isolated child process; child failures fail the parent test.
Agent Tooling Runs No New Commands
The diff changes only Rust pool configuration and its tests. It does not change agent tooling files or add content that agent tools run.
Public-Safe Content
The diff contains only an obviously fake local test credential. The title and description contain no confirmed sensitive content covered by the check.
Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title uses the bracketed area prefix "[postgres-pool]" as the title requirements allow, and the summary starts with the lowercase word "add". It names POSTGRES_CREDS_POOL_MAX_CONNECTIONS and the space_creds pool, which the changeset implements: the pool limit is now selected by DatabaseIdentity, with SpaceCreds using the new variable and falling back to the general limit. The title has no trailing period, ticket ID, or internal link. The identifiers keep their case.

Test the unset credentials limit with a nondefault general limit.
If the unset credentials limit changes to 25, the current limit assertions can still pass. Add an isolated case to protect the inherited limit used by existing deployments.
