Summary
This change fixes the production regression introduced by the Celery DB pool cleanup work and hardens startup behavior around gevent.
The root cause was an import side effect chain in the config package:
gunicorn.conf.py -> config.gunicorn -> config.init -> config.celery_app
That caused the web pod to import Celery code before Gunicorn’s gevent worker had applied monkey patching. The new task_postrun cleanup in config.celery_app imported django.db, and under gevent that led to Django DB connections being created/closed under
mismatched thread identities in web requests.
