Research direction

Start by tracing the pgsql extension's pg_connect() path and its existing connection-failure error text handling. Check how SQLSTATE is exposed when a PostgreSQL connection fails, then define the expected error wording and verify that failed pg_connect() calls return it consistently, including coverage for the failure case.
