Description
After a PostgreSQL restart or failover, a heartbeat follower can repeatedly retry election on a closed connection and never become leader without restarting SpiceDB.
Acquire a connection for each election attempt and release it when unsuccessful, allowing the pool to replace closed connections. Existing heartbeat writes and retry timing are preserved.
Testing
Added a regression test that terminates a follower’s election connection and verifies that it reconnects, acquires leadership, and resumes heartbeats. The test fails before the fix and passes afterward with the race detector:
Also verified recovery using two local SpiceDB instances and PostgreSQL 16 in Docker, testing both follower connection termination and a database restart.
