Research direction

Start with the reported failures and the backtrace locations in /wd/src/ledger/LedgerManagerImpl.cpp:550 and /wd/src/main/ApplicationImpl.cpp:805, then compare behavior across the nightly, latest, and testing images. Use the PostgreSQL and SQLite corruption messages to establish a reproducible sync failure; done means identifying the cause and confirming that a fresh sync completes without database or bucket corruption.
