Interleave PostgreSQL frontend dispatch and backend response work by consuming socket readiness in session handlers. Keep phased scheduling and dispatch waiters after a backend connection is released.

Preserve single-worker local caching and restrict early dispatch to established backends.
Reduce command-classification copies, tokenizer formatting, COPY regex work, result-buffer allocations and completed-session revisits.
Batch bounded native DataRow spans and cache verified frontend TLS handshake completion.

Review fixes from #6527:

Restore waiter deadlines and recovery retries even when the free pool stays empty, after response processing.
Preserve result-buffer ownership on allocation failure and close the affected session without pooling incomplete backends.
Skip SQL whitespace and nested block/line comments in borrowed command tokens.
Add direct batching boundary coverage and allocation-failure injection, including native session teardown.

Validation: release build with PROXYSQL31=1, seven focused unit targets, classifier sanitizer/guard-page probes, and isolated waiter deadline/recovery checks passed. The exhaustion check retained its single pinned backend while all waiting requests timed out correctly.

Remaining edge case: allocation failure inside a libpq notice callback can bypass cleanup of libpq's temporary notice data during exception unwinding.

Earlier TLS benchmarks used localhost TCP, 50 clients, 16 pgbench threads, one proxy worker, 10 retained backends, native protocol, and disabled parsing and command/digest statistics:

Workload	Optimized ProxySQL TPS	PgBouncer TPS
SELECT 1	30,454.39	26,764.49
4KB across 42 rows	22,852.61	20,368.52

Single sixty-second runs before the upstream port and review fixes; zero failed transactions and no new backends.

Preserves all 38 original commits unchanged, followed by separate upstream-merge, cleanup and review-fix commits. Replaces #6527.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Performance
- Improved query-result handling by processing batches of rows together when conditions allow.
Bug Fixes
- Improved TLS handshake tracking and recognition of COPY statements when query digests are unavailable.
- Improved handling of waiting connections and delivery of asynchronous PostgreSQL notifications.
- Made command recognition more reliable for queries containing long, incomplete, or commented text.
- Improved resilience to result-buffer allocation failures, helping prevent incomplete responses from being returned as healthy connections.

Preserve the previously benchmarked inline-handoff implementation before the next scheduler experiment. Start from a0781dd and keep local backend caching for a single worker even when connection waiters exist. For multiple workers, retain the waiter-aware publication behavior. Collect reusable backend releases while a session handler runs and retry an eligible waiter after that handler returns. Replace the old batched waiter pass with bounded, nonrecursive interleaving, retain an availability-gated initial waiter pass, and defer unhealthy-session deletion to the stable main scan. Track dispatched sessions so they are not processed again in the same response pass. This exact source snapshot produced the preserved clean inline-handoff binary 63f1891bff5890cbdc72ddd8316128db2f6c44b84efb0714d1ddff262ab02680. Earlier SELECT 1 measurements at 500 clients/10 backends averaged 41,228 TPS versus 38,792 TPS for the guard-only second-pass control. This is an experiment, not evidence of multiworker validation. No repository tests are changed.

Preserve the second scheduler prototype independently from inline handoff. Try ready backendless frontend sessions before processing backend responses, using a thread-local existing-only pool checkout mode. In this mode, shared pool lookup cannot create or evict connections; the first miss ends early dispatch. Restore the speculative session pause deadline and waiter state so normal processing can subsequently create a backend without a retry penalty. Reuse the initial waiter availability calculation to skip the frontend scan when existing waiters exhaust known capacity. Filter waiters and sessions already owning a backend before checking the dispatched-session vector, to avoid repeated searches for hundreds of ineligible sessions. Matched 4KB runs, three per build, gave 19,810 versus 19,651 TPS at 50 clients, 64-backend cap and TLS (+0.81%), and 29,139 versus 29,203 TPS at 500 clients, 10-backend cap without TLS (-0.22%). Ranges overlap; there is no convincing throughput improvement. TLS sampled backend usage increased from about34/16 used/free to40/9. Clean binary SHA256 is 07be750d95e4515f99a2bfddc32b92e5f22fc3c94d5e28e05ccef4e7dde89d6e. The prior inline-only binary remains the normal restored runtime. No tests or temporary profiling instrumentation are included in this checkpoint.

Record the scheduling design, benchmark constraints, checkpoint sequence and lifetime/fairness review points before implementing the next prototype. Keep the work opt-in and retain the legacy path for controlled comparisons. Honor the prior instruction to benchmark first without editing repository tests. The immediate question is whether interleaving socket input and session work reduces phase-boundary latency at50clients/64backends with end-to-end TLS, without regressing the existing500client/10backend plaintext workload. This plan does not treat the previous0.8%early-dispatch mean gain as conclusive.

Add an opt-in PX_PGSQL_UNIFIED_LOOP scheduler for non-maintenance worker iterations. Capture socket readiness before running handlers, then alternate captured I/O and deduplicated ready sessions so frontend input can dispatch a query before the remaining socket events have been consumed. Schedule pool waiters immediately after a releasing handler returns instead of scanning all backend-owning and backendless sessions in separate phases. Tag backend stream attachments with generations and validate owner, stream, fd and generation before consuming a captured event. Defer unhealthy-session deletion until the captured batch drains. Bound scheduler visits per session, carry remaining runnable work into an immediate next iteration, and invalidate carried references when maintenance unregisters a session. Preserve the legacy maintenance sweep and default scheduler for direct same-binary comparisons. Add optional PX_PGSQL_UNIFIED_REFRESH zero-time readiness refreshes after16 handlers, capped at2per outer iteration. This is a separately selectable experiment because more frequent polling can consume the overlap benefit. Existing session handlers still control their own internal packet draining; the visit budget does not bound all work inside one handler invocation. Validation at this checkpoint: full source build completed successfully and git diff --check passed. Runtime smoke checks and matched benchmarks follow; no throughput improvement or multiworker qualification is claimed. No repository tests have been edited.

…paths Correct urgent queue insertion so an initial batch of oldest-first waiters is not reversed by repeated push_front calls. Reuse a waiter scratch vector rather than allocating a new batch on every backend release. Queue deferred cleanup after failed socket handling as well as successful I/O, while avoiding sessions that have migrated to another worker. Keep unified scheduling disabled when optional idle-thread migration is active: this prototype's captured pointer lifetime is confined to a worker-owned batch and does not yet support concurrent migration. The ordinary maintenance sweep continues to use the legacy path. This is an explicit limitation, not a claim of production readiness or multiworker validation. Validation: source rebuild and git diff --check passed. Both queue-only and queue-plus-refresh modes passed live TLS workloads with one client,50client 4KB simple queries,50client4KB extended queries, and explicit transactions. Both also passed500client plaintext traffic and deliberate disconnect cleanup; networkbench processlist count returned to zero. No measured smoke workload reported failed transactions. Results:unified-smoke-20261022T113247Z. The matched TLS50client/64backend-cap benchmark is the next step; short smoke throughput is not treated as comparative performance evidence. No repository tests were added or changed.

Preserve the exact host-specific benchmark method alongside the scheduler prototype so later results can be tied to reviewable commands and settings. Remove the exploratory harness's dependency on extracting helper source from an older benchmark script; this committed copy contains its own lifecycle, configuration checks, TLS audit and measurement code. Compare three modes of the same compiled executable: legacy phased scheduling with prior inline/early-dispatch changes, the unified ready queue, and the unified queue with bounded readiness refreshes. TLS50client/64backend-cap runs come first;500client/10backend plaintext runs follow. Use three repetitions, record actual connection counts and creation/errors every second, and compute CPU/query from worker ticks divided by completed queries in the same window. Include the exact42row~4KB SQL and document warmup, measurement lengths, CPU placement, retention settings, mode selection, smoke coverage and restoration. The first TLS comparison matrix is currently running; this commit records methodology and does not claim its incomplete results establish a benefit. The Python harness compiles successfully and contains no literal credentials.

Preserve the first requested50client/64backend-cap comparison before moving to the constrained pool. All9measured runs used the same native executable, end-to-end TLS,16pgbench threads,one proxy worker,20second warmup and60second measurement. Three repetitions per mode were run without perf attachment. The unified queue did not improve this workload. Its mean throughput is below the legacy phased control, and adding bounded readiness refreshes lowers it further. Record TPS, latency, CPU/query, sampled used/free counts and backend creation rates together rather than interpreting higher connection use alone as an improvement. No measured transaction failed and the64backend cap held. These are direct same-binary scheduler comparisons, not comparisons against the original unpatched source or historical PgBouncer runs. The higher CPU cost is measured, but its detailed function attribution has not been profiled. The500client/10backend plaintext study remains outstanding at this checkpoint.

…timers Add opt-in PX_PGSQL_LOOP_TIMING aggregate diagnostics at the exact boundaries requested in the loop walkthrough: immediately after main poll returns, before its error check, at the start of the next outer iteration, before periodic waiter rearm, and immediately before the next main poll. Attribute elapsed wall time and CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID to each intervening group, including the poll syscall interval separately. Report counts, totals and maxima once per second rather than writing a record for every worker iteration. Track poll readiness/timeouts/errors and measured hook work. Keep aggregation/file-output work out of the following interval by refreshing its start stamp after reporting, especially before entering poll. Preserve errno around diagnostics so clock and file operations do not replace the value later inspected by the poll-error path. Tiny phase durations still include residual boundary/timestamp overhead and should not be treated as nanosecond-accurate timings. This branch retains the prior scheduler implementations, but the focused measurement explicitly disables both unified-queue flags. Only the phased 50client/64backend-cap,4KB,end-to-end TLS workload will be measured; no matrix or additional workload configurations are authorized by this checkpoint. Source rebuild completed successfully and git diff --check passed. Runtime measurement and aggregate validation follow; no repository tests changed.

…rness Run only the requested phased scheduler with 50 clients, a 64-backend cap, 4KB simple-query results, 16 pgbench threads, native backend protocol and TLS on both hops. Explicitly disable unified scheduling and readiness refresh. Use a 20-second warmup and one 60-second diagnostic measurement, with per-second pool snapshots. Do not run a scheduler or workload comparison matrix. Aggregate 39 complete steady-state reports containing 31,660 intervals per phase. The poll-error-check to next-outer-iteration group accounts for98.296% of measured phase CPU. Post-poll housekeeping is0.061%, next-iteration setup to rearm0.347%, rearm0.043%, and the main poll syscall1.253%. These shares exclude separately recorded hook bookkeeping. The largest processing-group CPU interval is59.421ms; this coarse instrumentation cannot identify which function caused it. Preserve both CPU and wall totals and maxima rather than assuming wall residence time equals CPU work. All measured transactions succeeded, the pool cap held, and the selected window had31,660ready poll returns with no timeouts or errors. Restore the prior clean inline-only TLS runtime and verify diagnostic environment flags are absent. Include a self-contained host-specific measurement harness plus raw aggregate summary and interpretation limits. Tiny phases retain timing boundary overhead; this is diagnostic evidence, not a throughput comparison.

Extend the existing opt-in outer-loop timing buckets to identify where the poll-error-check to next-iteration CPU time is spent. Add boundaries around runtime-variable checks, runnable-flag reset, AfterPoll socket processing, waiter-rearm cleanup, session setup/partitioning, existing-waiter retries, early frontend dispatch, backend-owning session handlers, remaining backendless handlers, session accounting, local-pool publication and the outer-loop tail. Retain the original five outer boundaries, errno preservation, wall/CPU clocks and per-second aggregate reporting. These are diagnostic markers only; no scheduler behavior, pool policy, workload or retry deadline is changed. The focused run keeps50clients,64backend cap,native protocol and end-to-end TLS. Source rebuild and git diff --check passed. The next measurements consist only of the finer phased-loop run and the separately requested syscall/query counts for clean ProxySQL and PgBouncer; no scheduler/workload matrix is added.

Complete only the requested diagnostics with50clients,64backend cap,4KB simple queries,native ProxySQL backend protocol and end-to-end TLS. Preserve separate runs for the instrumented timers and the clean-process syscall counters; do not interpret diagnostic TPS as a new throughput comparison or run other workloads. In39complete steady reports, backend-owning session processing accounts for 51.351%of phase CPU, early frontend dispatch39.288%, AfterPoll input handling 6.232%, remaining backendless sessions0.958%, and local-pool publication0.180%. The largest CPU interval in this run is108.123ms in AfterPoll processing. This identifies a stage, not the nested function or the cause of the earlier spike. Use perf tracepoint counting with acknowledged enable/disable controls over 30second steady windows. ProxySQL issues approximately4total syscalls/query and PgBouncer approximately6: about2versus4receive/read calls and2send/write calls for both. Poll/epoll_wait rates are0.041and0.047per query. Named I/O EAGAIN counts are near zero. PgBouncer's extra reads therefore cannot be explained as failed read attempts from these counters. Read sizes and TLS record boundaries were not measured; do not infer their cause. Preserve raw counts, query deltas, window-alignment metadata and the running percentages of perf counters. Query snapshots bracket the trace window and introduce a small timing mismatch; reported ratios are approximate. read/write counts cover all proxy descriptors. The result rules out syscall quantity alone as an explanation for the previously observed throughput gap, but says nothing definitive about per-call cost, TLS work or bytes copied. All measured transactions succeeded. Restore PgBouncer's original cap50after its temporary cap64comparison, restore the prior clean inline-only ProxySQL TLS runtime, and verify no pgbench remains. Commit self-contained measurement harnesses, aggregate results and interpretation limits. No repository tests or scheduler behavior were changed.

The phased scheduler previously read, decrypted and framed every ready frontend request in ProcessAllMyDS_AfterPoll before any session could submit a query or consume a backend completion. This imposed a batch barrier even when connection starvation made backend response processing and immediate reuse the useful next work. Give PgSQL_Thread a readiness-only after-poll scan. It records events on the owning data stream and marks the session runnable. Notification-pipe reads and listener accepts run through a separate housekeeping path, because those descriptors have no normal session handler. The MySQL scan and scheduling algorithm are unchanged. Move the existing data-stream read/TLS/framing/error path behind consume_data_stream_readiness, called at the beginning of the PostgreSQL session handler. Preserve idle-backend notification and failure checks before frontend parsing can change session state, including pinned backends other than the current one. Native query-response processing continues through the existing backend protocol handler. Store readiness independently of poll-array indices: waiter rearm cleanup can remove a stream from the poll set before its handler runs. Consume pending events once and clear them on backend attach/detach. Give parked waiters an I/O-only handler invocation for periodic frontend checks, so a disconnected waiting client can be detected without an empty-pool retry. Retain the phased early-dispatch and inline connection-handoff behavior. The intended benefit is earlier useful backend work interleaved with frontend I/O, not elimination of the CPU cost of reading requests. Validation at this checkpoint: release build with PROXYSQL31=1, -O2 and frame pointers; git diff --check. Focused runtime and performance results will be recorded in a separate commit. No repository tests were changed.

Review found that moving frontend reads into handler() exposed a scheduling gap: normal handler calls are gated by pause_until, but frontend POLLIN remains armed during a query delay. Unread input or EOF could therefore keep poll immediately runnable until the delay expired and postpone client disconnect cleanup. Use the I/O-only handler path for runnable paused sessions as well as parked pool waiters. It consumes pending frontend and all pinned-backend events without advancing the query state machine or retrying a checkout. Retain health and killed-session guards and the normal cleanup path. Apply the same rule at the optional unified scheduler's ready-dispatch pause gate, leaving its waiter-enqueue loop free of session mutations. Validation: independent review confirmed the final placement and ownership semantics; release rebuild with PROXYSQL31=1 and git diff --check passed. The focused runtime harness will additionally check disconnect cleanup inside a five-second query delay before measuring the unchanged 50-client, 64-backend TLS workload. No repository tests were modified.

Disable TLS on both frontend and backend while retaining the same 50 clients, 64 pre-established backends, 16 pgbench threads, native protocol, single worker, and 42-row approximately 4KB workload. Compare only the preserved baseline 9f92e9d and deferred-I/O b17a986 binaries, with no profiling, custom timers, source modifications, or additional variants. Baseline measures 32074.491 TPS and 31.097 microseconds of process CPU per query; deferred I/O measures 32705.213 TPS and 30.502 microseconds. Deferred I/O is 1.97 percent faster in this single pair. Userspace CPU/query is essentially unchanged, while kernel CPU/query decreases. Do not treat one run per binary as a precise repeatable improvement or proof of a particular TLS mechanism. Both runs retain ConnOK=64, ConnERR=0 and a total pool of 64 in every snapshot, with no backend creation during warmup or measurement and no failed transactions. Plaintext is verified on both hops. Preserve the exact harness, workload output, snapshots, runtime settings, binary identities, concise report and restoration verification. Record the failed TLS-required preflight separately from the measured results. The previous runtime is restored and no benchmark remains running. Repository tests are unchanged.

Compare phased baseline 9f92e9d, original deferred-I/O b17a986, and PgBouncer 1.26.1 using 50 clients, 16 pgbench threads, simple protocol, and 64 established backend connections. Pin each proxy to CPU 0 and verify TLS disabled on both hops. Measure one 60-second run per implementation after 20 seconds of warmup, without profiling or source instrumentation. Record raw output, binary identities, settings, CPU cost per query, and per-second pool snapshots. Require unchanged ProxySQL ConnOK/ConnERR and all 64 PgBouncer server identities; inspect PgBouncer connection logs for transient creation or closure. All measured runs pass with zero failed transactions. Deferred I/O reaches 42949 TPS versus baseline 42457 and PgBouncer 58644; treat these as preliminary single-run results. Document two rejected PgBouncer preparation attempts, preserve the reproducible harnesses, and verify runtime restoration. This artifact-only commit leaves the prior interrupted cost-profile artifacts staged and changes no production source.

…ed ProxySQL with PgBouncer Preserve evidence that deferred socket I/O is already committed in 7ec3bfd and b17a986, with no pending source edits. Verify current v3.0 tip 8b23f48 has identical runtime source and dependencies to the preserved a0781dd upstream binary; the intervening changes affect packaging, CI and documentation. Record exact source and binary identities instead of mislabeling the upstream binary as a new build. Run SELECT 1 over localhost with TLS disabled on both hops, one client and one pgbench thread, 64 pre-established backends, and a single proxy CPU. Use native ProxySQL backend protocol and transaction pooling in PgBouncer. Each of the four variants receives 20 seconds of warmup and one 60-second measured run without profiling. Keep all backend connections unchanged throughout warmup and measurement, verified with per-second pool snapshots and PgBouncer server identities and connection logs. PgBouncer reaches 13313 TPS, upstream ProxySQL 9831, phased baseline 10465 and deferred I/O 10479. The 0.14 percent deferred-versus-phased difference is preliminary single-run evidence, not a demonstrated gain. Preserve CPU cost per query, latency, pool occupancy, raw pgbench output and reproducible harnesses. Restore the prior runtime and stop the temporary PgBouncer after completion. Leave the earlier interrupted cost-profile artifacts staged and untouched.

Run exactly the requested diagnostics: all named syscall entry counters for deferred ProxySQL and PgBouncer, then a separate hardware-cycle CPU profile of the deferred ProxySQL worker. Keep SELECT 1, one client/thread, localhost TCP, no TLS on either hop, native backend protocol, one proxy core and 64 pre-established backend connections. Verify no backend creation or failures during warmup or measurement and restore the prior runtime afterward. Record approximately two receives, two sends and two waits per query in both proxies. ProxySQL uses poll while PgBouncer uses epoll_wait. Preserve exact counts, query-counter boundaries, FIFO control acknowledgements, EAGAIN counts and all event running percentages. Explicitly document substantial trace-counter overhead and boundary slack; these diagnostic TPS values must not replace the unprofiled benchmark. The separate perf capture has 35070 samples with zero lost samples: 67.70 percent of sampled cycles are in the kernel, with send, poll and receive syscall paths prominent. Export self and inclusive symbols and preserve raw perf.data provenance. Distinguish executable samples from pure application source, on-CPU cycles from sleeping time, and inclusive call chains from self costs. Record the existing disabled timing hook overhead without changing code or adding benchmark conditions. Earlier interrupted cost artifacts remain staged and untouched.

…on verification Capture actual syscall enter/exit timestamps for one-client plaintext SELECT 1 through deferred-I/O ProxySQL and PgBouncer. Before capture, duplicate the live proxy descriptors with pidfd_getfd and assert TCP_NODELAY=1 and TCP_CORK=0 on the frontend and all 64 established backends. Keep native ProxySQL backend protocol, transaction pooling in PgBouncer, one proxy CPU, and a fixed retained pool with per-second churn checks. Match 47233 ProxySQL and 53963 PgBouncer complete transactions by FD roles, event order and 15-byte request/66-byte response sizes. Separate receive-return to send-entry processing from send syscall duration and wait-return to receive completion. Record medians, p95, p99, means and raw-data provenance. No lost samples or failed I/O, and no new backend connections during warmup or measured workload. Median request processing is 7.184 versus 1.783 microseconds and response processing 4.953 versus 1.452. Explicitly document trace overhead: query rate within the capture is approximately 9.3 percent and 19.4 percent below adjacent untraced intervals. Do not interpret instrumented wall time as pure application CPU or zero-overhead latency. Preserve the successful capture despite an initial export ownership guard; re-export the same data without rerunning the workload. Restore prior runtime and leave earlier staged cost-profile artifacts untouched.

The one-client PostgreSQL SELECT 1 profile identifies snprintf and its stdio formatting machinery on the request-forwarding path. Existing CPU call stacks place snprintf under legacy_command_type -> tokenizer. The input length has already been computed, and the stack-buffer branch only accepts inputs of at most 127 bytes into its 128-byte buffer. Copy the known bytes and their terminating NUL directly with memcpy. Keep heap allocation for longer inputs, token splitting, ownership, empty-token handling, digest generation, query classification and query routing behavior unchanged. This is shared tokenizer code; it is not a SELECT 1 special case or a change to query-digest settings. Validation before commit: optimized ProxySQL build succeeded; an isolated differential check of the actual old/new tokenizer implementations matched 31,694 cases including NULL input, embedded terminators, both empty-token modes, varied delimiters and the 127/128-byte allocation boundary. No repository test was changed. Matching unprofiled one-client benchmark and phase-correlated profile validation follow this implementation commit.

Keep the measured removal of printf formatting, but make the replacement match snprintf's bounded, explicitly terminated copy instead of assuming the source byte after s_length is always its NUL. s_length is an int fed from a size_t string length, so narrowing can produce a negative precision or a smaller positive prefix. The ordinary short-query path remains a small memcpy; the copied prefix is always bounded to the 128-byte buffer. Copy at most buffer_size - 1 bytes and write the terminator explicitly. This preserves the original negative-precision truncation behavior without allocating multi-gigabyte input to exercise that edge during validation. Long-input strdup selection and token splitting/ownership are unchanged. Validation: optimized build passed; 31,694 ordinary differential tokenizer cases still match the original implementation. Another 16 forced-length cases exercise size_t-to-int narrowing, empty length and buffer boundaries, checking copied bytes and termination against the original snprintf path. No repository test files were modified. Benchmark results from 73f8228 remain labeled as that intermediate binary; this final bounded version will receive its own matching unprofiled measurements.

…sults Preserve the one-client, one-pgbench-thread, plaintext SELECT 1 investigation on lon104 with native backends and 64 pre-established retained connections. All 14 runs assert unchanged ConnOK/ConnERR and a pool total of 64 through warmup and every measurement snapshot, with zero failed transactions. Include ordinary and precise phase-correlated CPU samples, matching libc symbol resolution, source-line attribution, live TCP_NODELAY/TCP_CORK checks, and the counting-only comparison. Do not present unstable sampled phase percentages as exact time allocations. Large raw captures remain losslessly compressed on lon104 with recorded hashes instead of entering git. Preserve the initially negative unprofiled result as well as the CPU counter reduction; do not transfer prototype metrics to the final binary. The final bounded-copy commit 4699f31 was measured separately in a bounded/original/original/bounded sequence. Mean unprofiled TPS was 10597.80 versus 10291.39 (+2.98%); mean process userspace CPU/query was 16.162 versus 16.976 microseconds (-4.79%). Report this as preliminary: earlier baseline runs were faster, and two repetitions are not a general performance guarantee. The full ProxySQL/PgBouncer gap remains unresolved. Include the exact source patches, reproducible isolated differential checks, benchmark/profiling harnesses, 31,694 ordinary and 16 forced-length validation case results, and final runtime-restoration evidence. No repository test was changed. The pre-existing staged pgsql-deferred-io-cost artifacts are excluded from this commit and remain staged exactly as before.

…tor stacks Profile the bounded-tokenizer deferred-I/O binary under the existing one-client, one-thread, no-TLS SELECT 1 workload. Keep one native-protocol proxy worker on CPU 0 and establish all 64 retained backend connections before warmup. Preserve per-second ConnUsed, ConnFree, ConnOK and ConnERR observations and restoration checks; both captures show no new backend connections or failed transactions. Retain precise-IP self sampling and add a same-condition DWARF stack capture because frame-pointer unwinding could not reliably identify allocator callers. Resolve stripped libc functions with matching debuginfo, use sampled event IPs for self attribution, and export caller/path counts without expensive automatic inline expansion. Record sampling limits and instrumented throughput explicitly. Locate 4.47 percent of sampled userspace cycles in the small-result buffer flush and its callees, largely the shrink-and-replace allocation sequence. Also quantify remaining command classification, completion-time connection flags, digest statistics, backend pool acquisition and disabled diagnostic hooks. Document specific optimization directions without claiming an unmeasured gain or changing production source, scheduling behavior, workload conditions or tests. Save reproducible harnesses, metadata, reports and source excerpts. Keep large raw captures losslessly compressed outside git with hashes and recovery paths. Leave the pre-existing staged deferred-I/O cost artifacts untouched.

The native SELECT 1 completion path shrank a 16 KiB result buffer with realloc, queued the shrunken allocation and immediately allocated a new 16 KiB buffer. The result object was reused, but its accumulation buffer was replaced for every small result. DWARF profiling attributed 4.47 percent of sampled worker userspace cycles to this flush path, mostly allocator work. For results smaller than half the accumulation capacity, allocate a packet sized to the occupied bytes and copy those bytes into the output queue. Retain the accumulation buffer for the next result. Keep the existing ownership handoff and replacement allocation for larger buffers, avoiding a new large-result copy. Preserve empty-buffer behavior and reset buffer_used on both nonempty paths. Update the header documentation to describe retained versus transferred buffers. Keep the default capacity at 16 KiB so reuse can be measured independently of the proposed 8 KiB capacity experiment. Do not alter classification, diagnostic hooks, query digests or worker scheduling. Validation: optimized PROXYSQL31 build completed. An isolated ASan/UBSan harness using the actual original and patched reserve/flush functions verified payload identity, queue ownership and reuse across all lengths through capacity plus random reserve/flush sequences at both 16 KiB and 8 KiB. Repository tests were not modified. End-to-end performance measurement follows this source checkpoint.

…profile Compare the bounded-tokenizer baseline with small-result buffer reuse at 16 KiB and the separate 8 KiB experiment. Run only the established one-client, one-thread, native-protocol, plaintext SELECT 1 condition, with 64 backend connections pre-established and retained. Use balanced original/16/8/8/16/original order, 20-second warmup and 60-second unprofiled measurement per run. Preserve the negative/neutral end-to-end finding: mean TPS is 10595.26 for the original, 10489.96 for reuse at 16 KiB (-0.99%), and 10597.93 for reuse at 8 KiB (+0.03%). The two-run ranges overlap; this cohort establishes no throughput win. No compilation, source timers or perf collection overlaps those six runs. Add one same-condition DWARF capture of 16 KiB reuse to verify the specific cost change. Relative to the earlier matching original capture, the buffer flush and callees fall from 4.47% to 0.78% of sampled userspace cycles, and allocator self samples from 5.42% to 1.65%. Keep this local cost finding separate from whole-query throughput and absolute CPU claims. Audit every pool snapshot: ConnOK remains 64, ConnERR remains zero, and total backend connections remain 64; all queries succeed. Include isolated ASan/UBSan reserve/flush validation, exact source snapshots, binary hashes, separate source patches and restoration verification. Large raw captures are losslessly archived outside git with recovery paths and hashes. Document all 16 disabled outer-loop timing hook call sites and the concrete non-owning-token / known-keyword-length improvements available to command classification. Neither is changed in this experiment. Preserve the 16 KiB main source branch and the separate experiment/pgsql-result-buffer-8k branch, and leave the previously staged deferred-I/O cost artifacts untouched.

…L text The legacy command classifier used the mutable general tokenizer: it measured and copied the complete digest/prefix, split that copy with NUL bytes, and allocated a duplicate for long text. The preceding bounded-copy optimization removed printf formatting but left those scans, copies and allocations intact. Introduce a read-only cursor that returns pointer/length tokens borrowing the existing input. Preserve the legacy space/semicolon delimiter set and empty-token handling. Replace literal keyword comparisons with length-checked bounded case-insensitive comparisons, allowing compile-time keyword lengths and avoiding comparisons between differently sized tokens. Consume leading parentheses by advancing the view instead of rescanning token length. Bound diagnostic output to the token span. Give SELECT cancellation/termination refinement a length-aware overload. Preserve identifier boundaries, whitespace, line comments, nested block comments and comments truncated at the legacy token boundary. Never pass a non-terminated view to the old NUL-terminated refinement helper. Keep the existing helper and ParserSQL dispatch unchanged, including command categories and fallback behavior. Validation: optimized PROXYSQL31 build succeeded. An isolated ASan/UBSan harness using the actual old and new classifier functions matched 103594 cases, including command combinations, cancellation names and suffixes, truncated prefixes, comments, long input, immutable input and inaccessible-page boundaries. No repository test was changed. Throughput and profiling are measured separately against the current 16 KiB buffer-reuse build, with diagnostic hooks unchanged.

The diagnostic function returned early when PX_PGSQL_LOOP_TIMING was unset, but each of its sixteen phase markers still called the function and checked its enable state in the worker hot path. This instrumentation remained in the single-client deferred-I/O benchmark despite recording being disabled. Put the timing function, its diagnostic state, and every call site behind #if 0. Keep the source available for explicit restoration during future investigations while emitting no timing calls, enable checks, clock reads, or diagnostic state in this build. Preserve the scheduler, native backend protocol, command-classifier optimization, and all other worker behavior. Validation: rebuild the production PROXYSQL31 executable; inspect both PgSQL_Thread.oo and the linked executable with nm and verify no timing-hook symbol or PX_PGSQL_LOOP_TIMING string remains. Confirm the previous binary contains the hook as a positive control. No benchmark was started and no repository tests were changed. Preserve the unrelated staged benchmark reports unchanged.

… streams Keep verified frontend handshake completion in the data stream and use an inline predicate on established encrypted connections. Publish the cache only after the existing peer-certificate checks pass. Reset it when creating a new frontend SSL object or transferring backend TLS ownership. Retain dynamic OpenSSL checks for older protocols and borrowed backend streams. Keep encrypted reads, writes, error handling and ciphertext draining on their existing paths. Isolate this experiment from scheduler and output-buffer changes so its behavior can be assessed independently. Build the core in a separate worktree with matching feature and optimization flags and unchanged dependencies. Preserve the benchmark-first scope without modifying test files. Store detailed runtime measurements and verification evidence in the accompanying report.

Preserve the unprofiled benchmark output, complete client-latency metadata, backend-pool snapshots, TLS settings and exact binary provenance. Independently verify transaction-log hashes and percentile ranks. Identify the reused baseline clearly and distinguish the preliminary comparison from a fresh paired control. Keep function-call counting in a separate run. Exercise the probe through a fresh handshake before the counting window, then verify the established traffic uses the cached state. Retain the raw maps, positive control and lifecycle checks so the result can be reviewed and reproduced. Document fallback-protocol smoke coverage and isolated-instance cleanup. Keep performance figures in the benchmark artifacts rather than the commit message.

…olers Run the cached ProxySQL executable and PgBouncer against matching scalar-query and generated-resultset workloads over localhost TCP. Use persistent frontend connections, matching client and proxy CPU affinity, native ProxySQL backends, transaction pooling in PgBouncer and encryption on both connection hops. Keep command statistics and query digests disabled in ProxySQL. Establish and retain the configured backend pool before warmup, then measure without profiling instrumentation or source timing hooks. Preserve the complete transaction-latency metadata, process CPU accounting, runtime settings, TLS proofs and pool snapshots. Verify the absence of backend connection replacement through monotonic ProxySQL counters and PgBouncer identities and connection logs. Independently verify transaction-log hashes and percentile ranks, and record isolated-instance cleanup and unchanged executable provenance. Keep throughput figures and latency comparisons in the benchmark report rather than this commit description. Explain the distinct pool-state categories so idle and active counters can be interpreted correctly. Retain reproduction scripts and remote raw-log locations while excluding large transaction logs from the repository. Record the description-only rewrite of the preceding implementation and report commits. Preserve the original commits for provenance and verify identical trees and an unchanged runtime binary. Detailed descriptions contain no numerical figures, while the reports retain the complete measurements.

Run the current optimized ProxySQL executable and PgBouncer against matching scalar and generated-resultset workloads with persistent frontend connections. Disable encryption independently on both connection hops and verify the client transport and backend SSL status before warmup. Retain native ProxySQL backends, transaction pooling, matching CPU affinity and the configured backend-pool limit. Keep command statistics and query digests disabled as in the encrypted comparison. Establish the backend pool before measurement and verify it remains unchanged through connection counters, server identities and steady connection logs. Capture complete transaction-latency metadata and process CPU accounting without profiling instrumentation. Independently verify raw-log hashes, client identities and percentile ranks, then verify isolated-instance cleanup and binary hashes. Explain which shared optimizations can affect plaintext traffic and why the completed-handshake flag does not optimize this path. Separate the fresh pooler comparison from earlier encrypted references and historical timing-hook evidence; do not attribute the observed pooler gap to an individual patch. Preserve reproducible scripts, transport proofs, runtime settings, pool-state categories and remote raw-log locations. Keep quantitative results in the report and data artifacts rather than this commit description. Leave prior staged work and the implementation unchanged.

Capture worker CPU stacks for simple scalar queries and small row sets using the existing optimized native backend build and PgBouncer. Keep both transport hops unencrypted and hold the established backend pool constant throughout warmup and measurement. Preserve the existing unprofiled throughput reference and treat diagnostic throughput separately. Add an independent aggregate call trace to resolve handler callers, count output helpers, and count the worker socket and polling calls. Record control boundaries and snapshot slack so query normalization is explicit. Resolve libc leaves against matching debug information and retain source attribution for the native result and scheduler paths. Document the unnecessary raw query COPY regex, the completed session revisit, native message reconstruction and copying, and the shared pool round trip across worker iterations. Distinguish observed call counts and sampled path costs from speedups that still require individual patches and benchmarks. Record the limits of inclusive stack attribution and unresolved library symbols. Preserve runtime settings, binary hashes, transport checks, pool snapshots, transaction error checks, cleanup evidence, and reproducible diagnostic scripts. Keep raw performance archives and transaction logs on the benchmark host. Leave product code, existing tests, and other worktree staging untouched.

Keep the query-start guard that avoids repeated COPY detection while a backend reply is being consumed. Preserve the existing digest-based prefilter and add a conservative case-insensitive substring check to the raw SQL fallback used when digest parsing is disabled. Only bypass the regular expression when COPY is absent entirely. Queries containing the keyword still use the existing matcher, including comments, unusual whitespace, mixed case, string literals and multiple statements. This removes the unnecessary negative match without narrowing the set of raw queries accepted by the existing COPY handling. Build with the established release flags and native backend support. Keep connection pooling, scheduling, result handling and repository tests unchanged so this optimization can be measured independently.

A session processed by the backend-owning scan can complete its query and release its connection while retaining the work flag from the poll event. The later backendless scan then sees that same session as eligible and enters the full handler again even though its readiness and queued commands have already been consumed. Clear the work flag after a successful backend handler only when the session is waiting for client input, its current backend is detached, its frontend has no pending readiness, and its input packet queue is empty. Leave all other states and pending command work under the existing scheduling rules. Output buffered after a partial write remains registered for the next writable poll event. Use the existing work flag rather than expanding the linearly searched dispatched-session list. Preserve inline waiter handoff, shared pool behavior, and the handler epilogue that drains buffered client commands. Keep the change isolated from COPY detection and result batching so its call counts and benchmark behavior can be checked independently.

Extend the backend framer with a bounded coalescer that consumes complete adjacent DataRow frames while leaving other message types, malformed lengths and incomplete messages for the normal fetch loop. Keep the framer storage stationary and copy the borrowed span into owned result storage before another socket feed can move it. Use the span only in the native simple-query result path, after the existing extended-query handlers. Preserve the original wire headers and update result bytes, packet count, row count and tuple state in bulk. Keep special-message ordering, error and notification handling, transaction status, query-cache decisions and the existing output-buffer ownership unchanged. Allow batching only when the buffered-byte upper bound cannot trigger the current fetch or throttle suspension policy. Retain the per-row path near those limits and for large individual messages. Bound each batch by the result accumulation buffer capacity, so the optimization removes repeated small copies and header construction without introducing unbounded buffering or a new lifetime model. Keep shared connection-pool behavior and repository tests unchanged. A fresh read-only review found no correctness blocker in framing, accounting, scheduling or backpressure; validate runtime output and benchmark this change separately from its preceding patches.

Preserve the incremental measurements for the raw COPY guard, consumed completed-session work and native row-span batching. Include the initially lower scalar observation and its focused repeat, and distinguish variable throughput samples from the direct evidence that the intended operations were removed. Record the final aggregate call trace, source-resolved handler callers and bulk row accounting. Preserve the separate diagnostic window and its boundary uncertainty while keeping instrumented throughput outside the performance comparison. Document the bounded copy model, the existing output-buffer lifetime and the deliberately unchanged shared-pool behavior. Archive runtime settings, transport checks, pool snapshots, immutable binary provenance, standalone output comparisons, independent transaction-log verification and the fresh read-only code review. Retain the excluded overlapping diagnostic attempts explicitly and preserve the exclusive-run lock and interrupt cleanup added to the harness. Keep raw transaction archives on the benchmark host and leave repository tests, shared dependencies and the main worktree staging unchanged. Document the limitations of the measurements so follow-up optimization starts from the verified behavior rather than an unsupported throughput claim.

Run the previous optimized ProxySQL executable, the latest forwarding build and PgBouncer under the established single-client condition with encrypted frontend and backend transports. Keep the native backend implementation, disabled parsing and statistics, fixed retained connection pool, CPU placement and workload scripts consistent across the comparisons. Preserve fresh scalar-query and row-result measurements, complete transaction latency distributions and proxy CPU costs. Reverse the ProxySQL execution order between workloads and retain the exact plan so preliminary differences can be assessed without treating a single sample as a sustained speedup. Verify workload output against PostgreSQL, record the negotiated transport and runtime settings, and retain pool snapshots and PgBouncer backend identities and connection logs. Independently audit transaction records, log hashes, percentile boundaries, binary provenance and isolated-instance cleanup. Keep instrumentation outside the throughput runs and preserve the main worktree staging. Store the reproducible controller, benchmark, output-check, audit and report scripts alongside the results. Leave product code, shared-pool behavior and repository tests unchanged. Keep raw transaction archives on the benchmark host and record their hashes in the evidence.

…end pool Increase frontend concurrency using the established multithreaded benchmark driver while preserving the retained backend cap from the preceding comparison. Compare the previous optimized ProxySQL build, the latest forwarding patches and PgBouncer under identical encrypted transport and workload settings. Record throughput, transaction latency distributions, proxy CPU costs and backend usage snapshots for scalar queries and row results. Preserve the exact execution order, binary identities, native backend setting and disabled parsing and statistics. Keep every backend established before measurement and reject connection growth or transaction failures. Independently audit the transaction archives, log hashes, percentile boundaries and completions from every frontend client. Verify negotiated encryption, output equality with PostgreSQL, runtime pool settings and instance cleanup. Use the exclusive-run lock and explicit interrupt handling to keep measurements isolated. Retain the complete measurements and reusable driver, verification and report scripts. Keep raw transaction archives on the benchmark host. Leave product code, repository tests, shared-pool behavior and existing main-worktree staging unchanged.

…hentication Inspect the benchmark transport evidence and the forwarding changes after the encrypted throughput comparison. Record that the previous build was already ahead under the concurrent workload, so the cross-product lead does not originate in the latest row batching and completed-session changes. Run isolated negative checks against the immutable latest executable. Reject a plaintext connection to the encrypted-only user, invalid credentials over an encrypted connection, damaged encrypted application data after handshake, and a backend that refuses encryption. Confirm the backend receives no plaintext startup after refusing the SSL request and preserve instance cleanup evidence. Document the existing handshake-cache boundary and continued OpenSSL record processing. Separate required encryption from certificate and hostname validation, and retain the benchmark parsing settings and limited workload coverage as explicit limits of the finding. Preserve the checker and machine-readable observations without changing product code or repository tests.

Bring the current target branch into the forwarding work without rewriting any implementation, profiling, or benchmark checkpoint. Retain the original commit identities, authors, messages, and ordering so each investigation step remains available for review. Resolve the source tree through the normal merge of the shared ancestor, preserving upstream fixes alongside the PostgreSQL forwarding changes. Keep experiment cleanup in the following commit so its effects are explicit.

Keep the benchmarked phased scheduler, deferred socket I/O, inline waiter handoff, and forwarding optimizations. Remove the abandoned unified ready queue, its session and stream bookkeeping, and the compiled-out timing function and call sites. These paths were inactive in the selected runtime. Remove benchmark archives and investigation harnesses from the proposed tip to keep the target branch focused on runtime code. Every original evidence checkpoint and its full files remain accessible in the preceding history. Retain the known parked-waiter timeout and recovery concern for explicit follow-up. This cleanup does not introduce an unmeasured scheduler fix.

Walkthrough

This PR changes PostgreSQL readiness handling and connection-waiter dispatch, adds bounded batching for simple-query DataRows, and updates query classification to use length-bounded tokens. It also changes result-buffer ownership and adds handling for result-buffer allocation failures.

Changes: Deferred readiness and waiter dispatch

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Readiness state and handler contract `include/PgSQL_Data_Stream.h`, `include/PgSQL_Session.h`, `include/PgSQL_Thread.h`	Data streams store pending poll events and verified frontend TLS 1.3 completion state. The session handler accepts an `io_only` argument, and the thread declares deferred readiness and housekeeping support.
Poll capture and deferred I/O `lib/Base_Thread.cpp`, `lib/PgSQL_Data_Stream.cpp`, `lib/PgSQL_Session.cpp`, `lib/PgSQL_Thread.cpp`	The worker records readiness before session handling and consumes it during deferred stream I/O. Listener and notification-pipe work runs during housekeeping. TLS checks use the handshake-completion helper.
Existing-connection waiter dispatch `lib/PgSQL_HostGroups_Manager.cpp`, `lib/PgSQL_Thread.cpp`	Under `PROXYSQL31`, the worker dispatches eligible waiters using existing connections and records lookup misses. Released connections trigger waiter retries, and dispatched sessions are excluded from the remaining scan.

Native DataRow batching and result buffering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Frame coalescing and fetch batching `include/PgSQL_Backend_Protocol.h`, `lib/PgSQL_Backend_Protocol.cpp`, `lib/PgSQL_Connection.cpp`, `test/tap/tests/unit/pgsql_backend_framing-t.cpp`	The framer coalesces complete adjacent DataRows within a byte limit. The simple-query fetch path batches eligible original wire bytes and otherwise uses the per-row path. Tests cover limits, partial and malformed frames, message boundaries, and buffer reuse.
Result accumulation and failure handling `include/PgSQL_Protocol.h`, `lib/PgSQL_Protocol.cpp`, `lib/PgSQL_Session.cpp`, `test/tap/tests/unit/Makefile`, `test/tap/tests/unit/pgsql_result_flush_allocation_unit-t.cpp`	Query results can append native DataRow messages and update row and packet counts. Small buffers are copied to output packets; larger buffers are transferred after replacement allocation. Allocation failures are handled by the session, and tests cover failed flushes and session failure handling.

Bounded query classification

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Bounded command token parsing `lib/PgSQL_Query_Processor.cpp`, `lib/c_tokenizer.cpp`, `test/tap/tests/unit/pgsql_parser_command_type_unit-t.cpp`	Command classification and SELECT-target checks use bounded token views. The tokenizer limits copies and adds a null terminator. Tests cover command prefixes, comments, backend-function calls, and incomplete inputs.
COPY query prefilter `lib/PgSQL_Session.cpp`	When no digest is available, the session checks for COPY in the raw query before running the existing matcher.

The hostgroup iteration remains valid when waiters are unlinked.

for_each_hid iterates over a snapshot of hostgroup IDs and re-finds each ID before invoking the callback. Although unlink() erases empty hostgroup entries, it does not invalidate this snapshot. serve_waiters() also saves node->next before calling leave_waiter().

Run deadline checks for streams without events on every pass.

The new loop skips streams with zero revents and calls check_timing_out_session only when poll_timeout_bool is set. That function handles the wait_until and pause_until deadlines, and it marks backend sessions for cancel_query. For a quiet stream, those checks run only after a poll timeout. The flag is set only when the poll has blocked for ttw, so it can stay false while events keep arriving. Query timeouts, pg_cancel_backend requests, and connect-retry pause wakeups on those streams can then wait. Call the check unconditionally. It returns early when the stream has no myds or session, and otherwise it only sets to_process.

Major · Stability & Availability · Heavy lift

Parked waiters never retry, so they can hang with no timeout.

This change removes the per-pass waiter_lists scan. That scan ran handler() for every waiter whose pause_until had expired. After this change, a waiter runs handler() only in two cases:

serve_waiters() runs from this early block, and the block calls it only when available > 0. available counts free connections in the local cache and in ConnectionsFree.

dispatch_released() runs after a connection in the same hostgroup is released.

The main scan skips waiters (else if (sess->waiter_node.session) continue;). The backendless pass also skips them. handler(true) returns before the state machine runs.

Some waiter states never see a free connection or a release. For example:

the pool returned NULL because throttle_connections_per_sec was hit, and the next second would allow a new connection;

every server in the hostgroup is SHUNNED or OFFLINE.

In those states CONNECTING_SERVER never runs again. So max_connect_time and connect_timeout_server_max never fire, and the client never gets an error. The session stays parked until it is killed or until wait_timeout expires. Meanwhile, run_ComputePollTimeout() caps the poll timeout at about 50 ms while waiters exist, so the worker keeps waking up with nothing to do. The PR description lists this as a known issue. It blocks release for the PROXYSQL31 build.

Minor · Performance & Scalability · Quick win

std::find over handoff.dispatched makes each worker pass quadratic.

The early frontend loop can add almost every runnable backendless session to handoff.dispatched. Both the main scan and the backendless scan then search the vector linearly for every session, so each pass costs O(N·D). For example, with thousands of client sessions on one worker, that is millions of comparisons per loop iteration. This happens on the hot path that the PR tries to speed up.

Use a per-session marker instead. For example, store a pass sequence number on PgSQL_Session and compare it with a thread-local counter.

Sketch

- if (std::find(handoff.dispatched.begin(), handoff.dispatched.end(), sess) != handoff.dispatched.end()) - continue; + if (sess->dispatched_pass == handoff.pass_id) + continue;

Set waiting->dispatched_pass = handoff.pass_id where the code now calls push_back. Increment pass_id once per process_all_sessions() call.

Availability-gated dispatch and the backendless skip left parked sessions without a full handler call whenever no free connection or release arrived. The I/O-only handler drains socket readiness but deliberately returns before the connection state machine, so checkout deadlines and recovery could stall. Keep inline release dispatch as the fast path. After response processing, retry eligible waiters independently of free-pool availability. Stop ordinary speculative retries after an unrestricted checkout miss, while continuing to visit every expired waiter and allowing its timeout handler to run even if a retry pause remains. Reuse the existing attachment and poll-rearm paths. Validation used isolated functional checks against both builds. Previously, multiple waiters remained blocked beyond their configured deadline while a transaction pinned the only backend, and restoring an unavailable server did not resume a parked query. With the change, every waiter reports its deadline and the restored server accepts the pending query. Pool usage remains capped throughout the exhaustion check. The release build and waiter-list tests pass.

The parser-disabled command classifier could treat a leading comment or a non-space SQL whitespace character as the command token. Raw prefixes and preserved digest comments therefore produced unknown classifications even when the underlying command was recognizable. Reuse the existing allocation-free statement-prefix scanner at token boundaries, including nested block comments and line comments. Split ordinary command tokens at SQL whitespace and comment openers. Keep inline comment suffixes attached to SELECT targets so the bounded backend-function check continues to reject qualified identifiers and longer names. Add raw-prefix regressions with parsing and digests disabled, verify prefix ownership is released, and update kept-comment expectations to the corrected command classifications. The existing command-classification suite passes. An extracted production-code probe also passes under address and undefined behavior sanitizers, including every guarded truncation boundary.

Exercise the batching helper itself rather than relying only on result-fetch integration coverage. Keep all existing framing cases and add checks for exact and insufficient byte budgets, accumulated row counts, partial headers and bodies completed by a later feed, malformed lengths left for normal framing errors, and non-DataRow barriers. Also verify that exhausted storage can accept another feed and that batching does not invalidate the previously returned message view. These checks pin the ownership and framing contracts used by the simple-query batching path. The expanded backend-framing unit suite passes against the release library.

A failed small-result allocation was passed directly to memcpy. The large handoff also published the occupied buffer before allocating its replacement, leaving ownership and storage inconsistent if that allocation failed. Check both allocations and raise a result-specific failure before changing the occupied buffer or output queue. Allocate a large-path replacement before transferring ownership. Catch only this signal at the session handler boundary, mark the session and all attached backends unhealthy, and use normal teardown to discard connections with incomplete responses. Avoid allocating an error packet while handling the failure. Add deterministic source-local allocation injection covering empty flushes, small copies, threshold and full-buffer handoffs, reserve-triggered flushes, ReadyForQuery, retry ordering, and retained ownership. A real handler-boundary fixture verifies containment, unread response preservation, and backend connection destruction. The release build and all allocation assertions pass. This is scoped result-flush recovery rather than a general allocator policy. Unwinding from a libpq notice callback can still bypass cleanup of libpq-owned temporary notice data; the native handler containment path is exercised by the new fixture.

## Build Commands

### Building a tier — pass the flag on EVERY make, and clean when switching (IMPORTANT)

Fix / avoid it by cleaning `deps` when the tier changes (`lib/` and `src/` now self-invalidate), and by passing the SAME tier flag on every make in a session:

```bash
# Switching tiers (or unsure what the tree was last built with): clean first.
make clean                       # clears lib/ + src/ objects and libproxysql.a
PROXYSQL31=1 make -j$(nproc)      # then build the tier you want, consistently
# If deps were built under a different tier, also: make cleanall  (rebuilds deps — slow)

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Check the text after a backend-function name before promoting SELECT.

With the parser and digests disabled, SELECT pg_cancel_backend FROM t fits in the 32-byte prefix. cursor.take(false) returns only pg_cancel_backend. The bounded refinement then treats the token end as a call and incorrectly returns PGSQL_QUERY_CANCEL_BACKEND. Inspect the following text before promotion. Keep the existing end-of-prefix behavior.

Do not treat a vanilla checkout miss as a hostgroup-wide block.

vanilla_pool_checkout only classifies an unconstrained request. A failed checkout can still mean that no free connection matches that waiter's connection options. A later waiter can match an idle connection. The current break and checkout_blocked paths skip that waiter and can leave it waiting until max_connect_time.

🐛 Suggested fix

- bool checkout_blocked = false; for (auto *node = waiter_lists.head(hid); node && (retry_unavailable || served < budget);) { ... - if (retry_unavailable && !deadline_due && checkout_blocked) { node = next; continue; } if (waiting->pause_until > curtime && !deadline_due) { node = next; continue; } ... - } else if (vanilla_pool_checkout(waiting->last_pool_ff, - waiting->last_pool_gtid ? "" : nullptr, waiting->last_pool_max_lag_ms)) { - if (!retry_unavailable) break; - checkout_blocked = true; }

Register pgsql_result_flush_allocation_unit-t in groups.json.

The Makefile builds this test, but test/tap/groups/groups.json has no entry for it. The repository's TAP guide says every TAP test must be registered there to run in CI, and that an unregistered test causes CI failure. Add the entry next to the other pgsql_* unit tests, mirroring pgsql_query_cache_allocation_unit-t.
