fix(db): add busy_timeout pragma and guard build-phase eager init (#337)

- Add busy_timeout = 5000 pragma to prevent SQLITE_BUSY errors under
  concurrent Next.js route-handler requests (WAL mode helps but is not
  sufficient without a retry budget).
- Guard module-level getDatabase() call with !isBuildPhase to prevent
  build-time vs runtime SQLite state conflicts on cold starts.
- Add tests covering both pragmas and build-phase skip behaviour.
