ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pysqlite3' after updating SideKick

Version and Platform (required):

• Binary Ninja Version: 5.4.9731-dev Ultimate, 11172ae1
• OS: macOS
• OS Version: 15.7.5
• CPU Architecture: arm64

Bug Description:

After a fresh update of the Sidekick (to 2026) I got immediately hit with the missing Python package error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Applications/Binary Ninja.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/../../Resources/python/binaryninja/scriptingprovider.py", line 1163, in _load_module

    import pysqlite3 as sqlite3
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pysqlite3'

Also missing are:

• sqlite_vec
• orjson
• httpx

Steps To Reproduce:

Update Sidekick, restart BN

Expected Behavior:

No error out of the box

Screenshots:

Start with the Sidekick import chain in plugin.py and sidekick/kernel/key_value_stores/sqlite_storage_provider.py, then reproduce the failure by updating Sidekick and restarting Binary Ninja. Check how the plugin packages or loads pysqlite3, sqlite_vec, orjson, and httpx; done means Sidekick loads after a fresh update without missing-module errors.
