Request: tag v1.31.2 — goroutine leak fix and other patches unreleased on master

## Release tag request `v1.31.1` was tagged on 2025-11-02 and master is now 17 commits ahead. A few of those commits contain meaningful bug fixes that downstream consumers would benefit from getting via a proper semver tag rather than pinning to a commit hash. **Notable unreleased fixes:** | Commit | Description | |--------|-------------| | 6e7eb0a | **fix: Close connection after ping failure to prevent goroutine leak** (#7689) | | e98dccce | Fix nil pointer panic in serializer for nil any-type fields (#7634) | | 0d9141ba | fix: apply type model in generics row(s) (#7664) | | 477038c1 | internal/lru: use sync.RWMutex and RLock for read-only methods (#7668) | | 09530b8a | generics: populate WithResult error (#7723) | | c14d3ac9 | fix: don't override alterColumn when defaults match (#7728) | The goroutine leak fix in particular is impactful for long-lived services that rely on connection health checks. Would appreciate a `v1.31.2` (or `v1.32.0`) tag so these can be pulled in via normal `go get` / `go mod tidy` workflows. Thanks!
