Now that distribution will bundle a Node 24 runtime, node:sqlite (real SQLite
with WAL + FTS5) is always available. Collapse the three-backend adapter to
node:sqlite only and remove the machinery the other two needed:
- Remove better-sqlite3 (optionalDependency) and node-sqlite3-wasm (dependency).
- Remove WasmDatabaseAdapter, the named->positional param translation, the
SQLITE_BUSY read-retry, the wasm fallback banner, the backend env override,
and the native/node-sqlite/wasm selection chain.
- createDatabase now opens node:sqlite directly, with a clear error pointing at
the bundled release / Node 22.5+ when the module is absent.
- NodeSqliteAdapter.close() is idempotent and pragma() supports { simple }, to
match the better-sqlite3 behavior callers relied on.
- status (CLI + MCP) reports the single node:sqlite backend; journal-mode
diagnostics and the getCodeGraph single-connection fix are retained.
- Tests repointed off better-sqlite3 onto node:sqlite.
Net -1044 lines. Running from source now requires Node 22.5+.

WAL + busy_timeout were already enabled, so the issue's suggested fix was a
no-op. The real causes, addressed here:
- busy_timeout is now set first (before journal_mode) and lowered 120s -> 5s,
so open-time pragmas wait out a lock instead of hanging for two minutes.
- getCodeGraph no longer opens a second connection to the default project when
a tool passes its own projectPath (the in-process lock amplifier).
- The wasm fallback (no WAL) gets a bounded read-retry on SQLITE_BUSY.
- New: node:sqlite backend, preferred over wasm, so installs whose native
better-sqlite3 build fails land on a real-WAL backend instead of no-WAL wasm.
- codegraph status / codegraph_status now report the effective journal mode, so
a lock report is triageable (wal vs delete).
- CLI hard-blocks Node < 20 to actually enforce the engines floor.
