When I run the test case, fixture_app runs the fastAPI app and starts listening to the channel and then insert_distribution_notification inserts some data into a table which triggers the NOTIFY channel, however the callback for add_listener nevers gets executed, as I have a pdb debugger in that function but it never executes the call back and the test case gets stuck indefinitely.

I could see in my pg_stats_activity that the LISTEN channel process through fixture_app is successful, however callback nevers executed even though the NOTIFY channel name is triggered through insert_distribution_notification fixture

从 dlnspublisher.core.notification_manager 和 _listen_to_channel/add_listener 设置开始，然后检查 pg_conn_fixture 和 fixture_app 的生命周期。运行 test_sse_event_queue_receives_inserted_notification，并跟踪数据库插入、LISTEN 连接和回调；当回调运行且 SSE 测试接收到插入的示例 payload 时，即表示完成。
