75-118: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winReject invalid retry-attempt configuration instead of silently succeeding.
When
retryAttemptsis less than 1,RunWithRetryskips the operation and falls through withnil, making callers treat an operation that never ran as successful. This can also produce a nil result that downstream code dereferences, such asSyncUserRoles.Ensure the operation runs at least once or return a clear configuration error, and add coverage for non-positive retry-attempt values. Constructor validation alone is insufficient because callers can construct the client directly.

Do not expose raw database errors in OSMODatabaseError.
Each new f'Error: {str(error)}' can include SQL text, connection URIs, or credentials. OSMOError exposes its message to users. Replace these messages with a stable public error message. Preserve the original exception only as the chained cause. Extend test_retry_exhaustion_logs_terminal_metadata_without_sensitive_values to assert that the raised error also excludes sensitive values.

Do not replay mutating operations after ambiguous connection failures.
A SQLSTATE 08 failure can occur after PostgreSQL commits a write but before the client receives the result. This wrapper retries every decorated method, including execute_commit_command and execute_commit_commands. A retry can duplicate a non-idempotent write.
Add replay-safety metadata to retry. Retry writes only for failures that guarantee transaction rollback, such as serialization failures and deadlocks. Require explicit idempotency before retrying connection failures. Add a test that simulates a committed write followed by a connection failure.
The Go retry contract already has ReplaySafety for this distinction.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Apply the ping timeout per attempt, not across all attempts.
pingCtx sets a single 5-second deadline. RunWithRetry now performs up to RetryAttempts pings plus backoff delays inside that one deadline. Two effects follow.
First, the retry budget is limited by the deadline instead of by the attempt count. If PostgreSQL is unreachable, one Ping can consume the whole 5 seconds, so the configured retries never run. That weakens the startup resilience this PR targets.
Second, after the deadline expires, RunWithRetry returns the context error and discards the underlying ping error, so the startup log loses the cause.
Give each attempt its own timeout so the total startup window scales with RetryAttempts.
