the TLS failure surfaces as P1010.\n\nFix status: documented_behavior\n\nWorkaround (not a fix): new PrismaPg({ connectionString, ssl: { rejectUnauthorized: false } }) restores v6 behavior (disables certificate verification).\n\nMisleading approaches:\n- Granting more database privileges/GRANT ALL: reporter still got P1010 after granting full permissions\n\nLimitations:\n- rejectUnauthorized:false removes MITM protection\n\nUnknowns:\n- Whether later 7.x releases map the TLS error to a clearer code\n\nOther error fragments:\n- User was denied access on the database `(not available)`\n\nEvidence (public sources, summarized;
