- Add initialization phase detection to logger (2-second delay)
- Prevent database logging during critical startup phase
- Use console logging for critical startup messages to avoid circular dependency
- Add manual initialization control functions (markInitializationComplete, isInitializationPhase)
- Filter initialization-related messages from database logging
Files modified:
- src/utils/logger.ts: Add initialization state tracking and filtering
- src/registerSQLWorker.js: Use console for critical startup message
- src/services/PlatformServiceFactory.ts: Use console for singleton creation message
- src/services/platforms/WebPlatformService.ts: Use console for worker context message
Resolves circular dependency where logging tried to access database during platform service initialization, causing infinite loops with [DB-PREVENTED-INFO] messages.
- Reduce migration/platform logging verbosity in development mode (~80-90% less noise)
- Fix AbsurdSQL platform check to support 'development' alongside 'web'
- Add missing WebPlatformService methods (isWorker, initSharedArrayBuffer)

- Fixed parameter binding in Capacitor platform service migration functions
- Added detailed debugging to track SQL execution and parameter passing
- Reverted migrations back to proper form (without IF NOT EXISTS workarounds)
- Enhanced extractMigrationNames to handle Capacitor SQLite result format
The migration system should now properly track applied migrations and avoid
re-running them on subsequent app starts.
Code formatting improvements across multiple files:
1. databaseUtil.ts:
- Convert single quotes to double quotes for string literals
- Maintain consistency with project style guidelines
2. CapacitorPlatformService.ts:
- Convert single quotes to double quotes for string literals

This commit improves type safety and fixes several TypeScript errors that were
preventing proper type checking in the database service layer.
- Add permission checks before writeFile and writeAndShareFile operations
- Reuse existing checkStoragePermissions method for Android devices
- Maintain iOS-specific handling (early return for iOS permission model)
- Improve error handling and logging for permission-related issues
This change ensures proper storage permission handling on Android devices
while maintaining the existing iOS behavior. The permission checks run
before any file write operations, providing better error handling and
user experience.
- Move queryResult and allResult declarations outside switch statement
- Change const declarations to let since they're now in outer scope
- Remove const declarations from inside case blocks
This fixes the 'no-case-declarations' linter errors by ensuring variables
are declared in a scope that encompasses all case blocks, preventing
potential scoping issues.
Note: Type definition errors for external modules remain and should be
addressed separately.
