- Add comprehensive console logging for Electron with emojis for better visibility
- Use CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS and INSERT OR IGNORE to prevent duplicate creation errors
- Add specialized column existence checking for ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN operations
- Improve migration tracking with detailed status reporting (applied/skipped counts)
- Add proper error handling for existing schema scenarios
- Enhanced documentation and type safety for migration system
This resolves issues where migrations would fail with 'table already exists' or
'duplicate column' errors when the database schema was already properly set up.
The enhanced logging makes it clear to users when migrations are being skipped
vs. applied, improving the debugging experience in Electron.
- Enhanced migration service error handling and logging
- Added better recovery mechanisms for failed migrations
- Improved database state validation before migration execution
- Added comprehensive error reporting in migration service
- Updated HomeView to handle migration errors gracefully
- Fixed database initialization sequence to prevent constraint violations
This addresses UNIQUE constraint failed errors during app startup
and provides better user feedback during database migration issues.

- Enhanced migration service to handle duplicate column errors gracefully
- Added detection for 'duplicate column' and 'already exists' errors
- Migration service now marks partially applied migrations as complete
- Prevents Electron app crashes due to cross-platform database conflicts
- Improved robustness for database schema migrations
Fixes database initialization issues when switching between platforms
(web, mobile, electron) that may have different migration states.

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
- Align with TypeScript formatting standards
3. NewEditProjectView.vue:
- Improve code formatting for error handling lambda
- Better readability with proper line breaks and indentation
These changes improve code consistency and readability without
affecting functionality. All changes follow project style guidelines.

- Add parameter conversion in CapacitorPlatformService.queueOperation()
- Convert booleans to integers (0/1) for SQLite compatibility
- Convert objects/arrays to JSON strings for database storage
- Handle null/undefined values properly
- Ensure all SQL parameters are SQLite-compatible before queuing
This should resolve the 'SQLite3 can only bind numbers, strings, bigints, buffers, and null'
error by converting all parameters at the platform service level before they reach SQLite.

- Fix generateInsertStatement to convert all values to SQLite-compatible types
- Fix generateUpdateStatement to handle object and boolean conversion
- Manually mark existing migrations as completed to prevent duplicate execution
- Ensure all SQL parameters are converted to supported types: numbers, strings, bigints, buffers, or null
- Convert objects/arrays to JSON strings and booleans to integers (0/1)
This resolves the 'SQLite3 can only bind numbers, strings, bigints, buffers, and null' error
and prevents 'duplicate column name: iViewContent' migration conflicts.
