Apply and table sync replication connections now report
{base}:apply:{pipeline_id} and {base}:tsync:{pipeline_id}:{table_oid}
in pg_stat_activity. Child copy connections inherit the parent worker's
name. Overlong names clamp the base and keep the worker suffix intact.
Rename budget to max_allowed_len, use floor_char_boundary instead of a manual boundary loop, and trim connect_for_* doc comments.

The longer tag narrows the no-clamp bound to 15 combined digits of pipeline id and table oid; beyond that the base clamps and the suffix survives. Length tests restated around the new bound.
Clamping is expected with long pipeline ids and table oids, not an anomaly worth a warning.

All ETL replication connections currently report the same
application_name, so from the server's side the apply worker and every table-sync copy connection are indistinguishable.This tags each worker connection with its identity:
supabase_etl_replicator_replication:apply:{pipeline_id}supabase_etl_replicator_replication:tsync:{pipeline_id}:{table_oid}Two motivations:
pg_stat_activityandpg_terminate_backendsit. Without them, tests have to guess by PID heuristics, which flakes.pg_stat_activityandpg_stat_replicationnow show which worker (and which table) owns each connection, lock wait, and terminated backend.
