Research direction

Start with the AgentDB README section linked at line 455 and reproduce agentdb init ./my-agent-memory.db using the current published package and version 1.0.7. Compare the silent exit and the reported smallDataset error; done means the documented command responds and creates the requested database file, with the relevant CLI behavior covered by an available test if the package exposes one.
