Research direction

Start with the extension logs linked in the issue and reproduce the failure in PostgreSQL extension 1.16 on macOS arm64. Trace the failed pgsqltoolsservice Python shared-library load; done means the connection window loads connections and the database context menu offers “Connect in Agent Mode” without the server connection closing.
