Two bugs caused the crash-at-startup report:
1. CrashScreen used the widget's build context (above its own MaterialApp)
for ScaffoldMessenger.of() in button callbacks. When the screen is the
root widget — the runApp() path after a startup crash — there is no
ScaffoldMessenger above it, so both 'Copy to Clipboard' and 'Report Issue
on Codeberg' crashed with a null check error. Fix: wrap Scaffold.body in
Builder to obtain a context that is a descendant of the Scaffold.
2. path_provider_android 2.2.21 updated to Pigeon 26, which causes a
channel-error on startup for some Android devices. Pin to <2.2.21
(resolves to 2.2.20, which uses the stable pre-Pigeon-26 implementation).
Additionally, make initDatabasePath() catch PlatformException so a
channel error at the very start of main() no longer hard-crashes the app;
_openConnection()'s lazy fallback retries after runApp() completes.

pubspec.lock was incorrectly gitignored — this is a Flutter app, not a
package, so the lockfile should be committed for reproducible builds.
Without it, CI resolved drift to its minimum (2.20.3) which constrains
sqlite3 to 2.x, causing dart analyze to disagree on whether
Database.close() exists vs the local environment using 3.3.1.
Also pins sqlite3: ^3.1.5 explicitly in pubspec.yaml as belt-and-
suspenders so the constraint is visible without reading the lockfile.
