Description

## What did you do?

- I set connection favourites for both a localhost (Docker, Postgres 16) and an AWS RDS (Postgres 16, no proxy) server
- When connecting, everything works fine and I can see the database contents
- Then, I tried to enable a Pre-connect shell script on them, but no matter the script or database, the authentication fails. Examples

```shell
#!/bin/bash
cat <

Research direction

Reproduce on Postico 2.1 dev (9685) on macOS 14.4.1 using both the Docker Postgres 16 and AWS RDS Postgres 16 setups. Compare connections without a pre-connect script against the JSON, PG environment-variable, and hardcoded-password scripts, and use successful authentication as the completion check.
