Research direction

Start by tracing how PostgreSQL parameters from the CRD are selected for the Patroni API patch, using the reported debug log as the expected behavior to compare against. Reproduce with the shown parameters and verify that timescaledb.max_background_workers is included in the applied configuration alongside the two max_standby settings.
