Technical summary

After an etcd reconnection, Patroni can continue from a stale DCS cache instead of the current cluster state.

Invalidate or refresh the DCS cache when the etcd client reconnects, then rebuild cluster state from the fresh read.

The issue is tied to DCS cache reconnection behavior, so the patch should be in Patroni DCS/etcd state handling.

The snippet uses native project logic; the DCS cache is invalidated after reconnect before Patroni evaluates cluster state. The helper result is consumed directly by the patched code path.

After applying the patch, keep the import smoke test for the affected package:

python3 -c "import patroni; print('smoke test OK')"
