The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine code-quality refactor: it threads a request-scoped cancellation signal (a 'context') through the IsPublicNode database lookup. Previously the SQL backend used a placeholder TODO context, which meant long-running queries could not be cancelled. The change does not alter what the function returns, only how it handles timeouts and cancellation. It is not a security patch in itself, though better context plumbing can help limit resource exhaustion in future hardening.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as normal maintenance. If auditing for DoS resilience, verify that all SQL callers eventually pass a real, deadline-bearing context rather than context.TODO().
