This function is one of the worst for database leaks

every time this is called, a DB connection is opened that never gets closed. This should not be happening. This has been looked at by several maintainers several times

We need tests and stuff to confirm this

I think co-pilot found the missing indentation for this problem:

I really dont think thats the answer

My plan:

1. Wait for database stuff to be fixed/merged
2. Fix database test fixtures in unit tests
3. Create unit test confirming one connection is leaked every time the function in this issue runs
4. Experiment with fixes until the test passes
