Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the APSW retry or busy-timeout configuration and compare its current retry sequence with the SQLite defaults described here. Done means the retry behavior uses the requested flat 1ms growth and the resulting write behavior is covered by an appropriate check.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Right now a failure dies after 100ms (APSW setting), with retries at 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 milliseconds (sqlite's default). So really, it fails at 62 ms, not 100ms

The Rails team says that causes periodic misses for a write, but a flat growth rate is better in their experience. 1ms is their choice.
