⏺ Phase 3: Database Layer — Complete

1 new file created, 6 new tests, all passing, mypy clean, no regressions.

  synapse/storage/native_database.py — NativeConnectionPool class:
  - Uses concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor + asyncio.loop.run_in_executor() instead of twisted.enterprise.adbapi.ConnectionPool
  - Thread-local connection management: each thread in the pool maintains its own persistent DB connection
  - Automatic connection creation and initialization via engine.on_new_connection() (same as the Twisted pool's cp_openfun)
  - Reconnection support for closed connections
  - runWithConnection(func, *args) — runs function on a pool thread with a connection
  - runInteraction(func, *args) — runs function in a transaction with auto-commit/rollback
  - close() — shuts down the executor
  - threadID() — compatibility method for transaction limit tracking

  The existing DatabasePool and all 846+ runInteraction callers are untouched. When the migration reaches the point of switching DatabasePool to use NativeConnectionPool instead of
  adbapi.ConnectionPool, the inner_func pattern in runWithConnection will be reused with minimal changes (just swap make_deferred_yieldable(self._db_pool.runWithConnection(...)) to await
  self._native_pool.runWithConnection(...)).

"""asyncio-native database connection pool.
Phase 3 of the Twisted → asyncio migration. Provides NativeConnectionPool
as a replacement for twisted.enterprise.adbapi.ConnectionPool, using
concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor + asyncio.loop.run_in_executor()
instead of Twisted's thread pool.
This module is unused until later phases switch the DatabasePool to use it.
