## What does this PR do? When a secrets backend raises an exception during `get_connection()`, the exception is caught and logged at `DEBUG` without `exc_info`, making the actual error completely invisible — even with `DEBUG` logging enabled. Only the backend class name is logged, not the error itself. This PR adds `exc_info=True` to both the sync (`_get_connection`) and async (`_async_get_connection`) lookup loops in `context.py`. **Before:** only the backend name is visible at DEBUG: ``` DEBUG - Unable to retrieve connection from secrets backend (VaultBackend). Checking subsequent secrets backend. ``` **After:** the full traceback is included, so the actual cause (e.g. a `KeyError` during deserialization, an auth failure, a missing dependency) is visible when DEBUG logging is enabled. The exception stays at `DEBUG` to avoid log spam in normal multi-backend setups where fallthrough is expected. This brings `_get_connection` in line with `_get_variable`, which already uses `log.exception()`. --- ##### Was generative AI tooling used to co-author this PR? - [X] Yes — Claude Code (claude-sonnet-4-6) Generated-by: Claude Code (claude-sonnet-4-6) following [the guidelines](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/05_pull_requests.rst#gen-ai-assisted-contributions) --- Drafted-by: Claude Code (claude-sonnet-4-6); reviewed by @seanmuth before posting -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
