+**compile: drop the dead pg / mysql2 `async-runtime` rule (tokio lane L3).** The auto-optimize driver used to select perry-stdlib's tokio `async-runtime` for `pg`, `mysql2` and `mysql2/promise` by module name. That rule could never run. The pg and mysql2 wrappers, with their `Handle::current().block_on` decline paths, were deleted in #10677 and #10680, so `well_known_bindings.toml` has no row for either module, and the flip loop skips any module without a row at `lookup_well_known`. The rule now covers `mongodb` only, and the new test `well_known::tests::pg_and_mysql2_have_no_well_known_row` fails if either module gets a row again. Prose that still described the old setup is updated in `stdlib_features.rs`, `freshness.rs`, `perry-stdlib/Cargo.toml`, the `perry-db-turnloop` slot docs and `scripts/tokio_inventory.json`.
+
+With lane L2 (#11277), an auto-optimized pg-only or mysql2-only program now links no tokio. Measured on Linux x86_64 with pg 8.23.0 and mysql2 3.24.4: 0 tokio members in the stdlib archive and 0 `tokio-1.` strings in the binary. Main before L2 had 16 and 51–52. `PERRY_NO_AUTO_OPTIMIZE` builds still link tokio through `full`.
+
+These failures also happen on main and are not fixed here: pg scram-sha-256 authentication fails (md5 and trust work); mysql2 segfaults during `createConnection` on Linux; and pg on a `worker_threads` agent intermittently throws `reading 'setBuffer'`.
