[BUG] Docker starts "successfully" and loops forever when sqlite database is corrupt

Comienza reproduciendo el reinicio con archivos SQLite index-v2 corruptos y revisa los logs del contenedor resultantes. Rastrea cómo la ruta de inicio gestiona el error reportado al abrir la base de datos; se considera terminado cuando el contenedor sale con un fallo en lugar de reiniciarse repetidamente o entrar en un bucle.

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

I had a hard container shutdown (on Unraid) and my sqlite database got corrupted somehow. When the container restarted it started "successfully" but actually was looping this error forever:

2026-02-03 10:38:41 INF syncthing v2.0.14 "Hafnium Hornet" (go1.24.12 linux-amd64) root@buildkitsandbox 2026-02-03 09:33:54 UTC [modernc-sqlite, noupgrade] (log.pkg=main) 2026-02-03 10:38:41 ERR Error opening database (error="openbase (PRAGMA optimize = 0x10002): database disk image is malformed (11)" log.pkg=main)

Expected Behavior

Container should fail to start instead of getting stuck in an error loop.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install container
2. Corrupt index-v2 sqlite files
3. Restart container
