The task as the agent received it

You have operator access to a hosted Supabase project. Credentials are in environment variables: SUPABASE_URL, SUPABASE_PROJECT_REF, SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY, SUPABASE_DB_URL (a session-mode Postgres connection string), SUPABASE_DB_PASSWORD. Our serverless workers keep exhausting database connections. Write an executable script named pool_smoke.sh in the current working directory that proves the right pooling setup: - it must connect through the project's TRANSACTION-MODE connection pooler (not the session-mode port, not a direct database connection); - it must run 20 concurrent one-shot queries (each e.g. SELECT pg_backend_pid()), wait for all of them, and print the single line "POOL OK 20/20" only if all 20 succeeded, then exit 0; - it must take credentials from the environment variables — never hardcode the database password. Run it yourself to confirm it passes before finishing.

Supabase pooler:
- transaction-mode (pgbouncer): port 6543, host aws-0-XXX.pooler.supabase.com, user postgres.PROJECT_REF, db name "postgres"
- session-mode: port 5432, host same, user postgres.PROJECT_REF

The SUPABASE_DB_URL above is session-mode (port 5432). I need to construct transaction-mode URL with port 6543, user postgres.PROJECT_REF.

User for transaction-mode pooler on Supabase is typically: postgres.<project_ref> (same user works for both ports). The password is from SUPABASE_DB_PASSWORD.

What it said at the end

Done. Here's what I did: **Script: `pool_smoke.sh`** What it does: 1. **Reads credentials only from env** — requires `SUPABASE_PROJECT_REF` and `SUPABASE_DB_PASSWORD`; never hardcodes or reuses the password embedded in `SUPABASE_DB_URL`. Missing creds → exits non-zero. 2. **Explicitly targets the transaction-mode pooler only** — port `6543`, host `*.pooler.supabase.com`, user `postgres.<project_ref>`. Hard guards refuse port 5432 (session-mode) and any non-`*.pooler.supabase.com` host (direct db connection), so the script physically cannot accidentally connect the wrong way. 3. **Fires 20 concurrent one-shot queries** — each is its own short-lived `psql … -c "SELECT pg_backend_pid()"` invocation (no shared client, no prepared session, true one-shots through the pooler). 4. **Waits for all 20** (`wait` on every PID), counts successes and failures. 5. Prints `POOL OK 20/20` and `exit 0` **only if** all 20 returned a valid integer PID; otherwise prints `POOL FAIL x/20` and exits non-zero. Other output goes to stderr so the success line stays clean. **Live verification:** ``` $ time ./pool_smoke.sh DEBUG: 20 successful, 0 failed, expected 20 POOL OK 20/20 exit=0 real 0m0.974s ``` All 20 concurrent one-shot queries through the transaction-mode pooler succeeded in under a second, confirming the pooling setup is correct for the serverless workers.
