Preserve migration, restart, and concurrency coverage with the async SQLite driver.
Make line endings deterministic across macOS, Windows, and Linux while preserving the native checkout format required by Windows launchers.
Pin the tested application runtime and Node type baseline, add a shared startup preflight, and keep independently published packages on their existing compatibility ranges.
