Research direction

Start by tracing the reported path through androidx.work.impl.WorkDatabase.onOpen, androidx.sqlite.db.framework.FrameworkSQLiteDatabase.endTransaction, and androidx.work.impl.utils.ForceStopRunnable on Android Platform API 22. The issue names no reproduction steps or expected behavior, so first establish the triggering database state and define completion as preventing or correctly handling this rollback exception.
