Fixed critical startup crash when server falls back to sql.js adapter due to Node.js version mismatches. Problem: - better-sqlite3 fails to load when Node runtime version differs from build version - Server falls back to sql.js (pure JS, no native dependencies) - Database health check crashed with "no such module: fts5" - Server exits immediately, preventing Claude Desktop connection Solution: - Wrapped FTS5 health check in try-catch block - Logs warning when FTS5 not available - Server continues with fallback search (LIKE queries) - Graceful degradation: works with any Node.js version Impact: - Server now starts successfully with sql.js fallback - Works with Node v20 (Claude Desktop) even when built with Node v22 - Clear warnings about FTS5 unavailability - Users can choose: sql.js (slower, works everywhere) or rebuild better-sqlite3 (faster) Files Changed: - src/mcp/server.ts: Added try-catch around FTS5 health check (lines 299-317) Testing: - ✅ Tested with Node v20.17.0 (Claude Desktop) - ✅ Tested with Node v22.17.0 (build version) - ✅ All 6 startup checkpoints pass - ✅ Database health check passes with warning Fixes: Claude Desktop connection failures with Node.js version mismatches Conceived by Romuald Członkowski - https://www.aiadvisors.pl/en
