Description

We should wrap the postgres connection in an error handler to deal with any incomplete postgres setup issues which will inevitably arise. It should give helpful messages like:
If error connecting to database TBSP: first check if postgres is running (otherwise deal with that error), then ensure TBSP doesn't exist and tell user to `$ createdb TBSP` (or another name and supply `TBSP_DBNAME`)

Research direction

Locate the Postgres connection setup and its existing error-handling path; the issue does not name a file or test. Review how connection failures and TBSP_DBNAME are currently handled, then define completion around helpful messages for a stopped Postgres service, a missing database, and the required createdb command.
