Research direction
Start by reviewing the H2 Recover and RunScript commands against the Nexus 3.70.1 recovery procedure, then inspect the reported ROLES deserialization failure. The payload names org/sonatype/nexus/internal/security/model/CUserRoleMappingDAO.xml and DataAccessSqlSession.java; done means identifying whether the failure is caused by recovery output or belongs in Nexus rather than H2.
