Description

**Versions**

- Client: ts 1.1.3 via tanstack DB
- Electric: 1.2.3 - docker

**Bug description**
The Electric SQL container gets stuck in an unrecoverable error state
```
[warning] Stack not ready after 5000ms. Reason: Timeout waiting for shape data to be loaded
```

I have to completely take down the docker container and restart it (`docker compose down && docker compose up -d`) so that internal files are completely removed and recreated - a simple `docker compose restart` is not enough since the internal data persists.

**Expected behavior**
The container should recover gracefully, especially after a "simple" restart.
