_sqlite_connect opened a connection via connect_tracked and then ran the
busy_timeout PRAGMA; if that raised, the half-open connection was abandoned
— leaking its fd AND leaving a stale entry in the sqlite_safe_read
live-connection registry (which only clears on close), permanently blocking
byte-level probes of the kanban database. Close before re-raising.
Salvaged from PR #96290 (kanban slice) with regression test.
