Research direction

Start by reproducing the steps with a local hello.db: create it, import it using the linked Turso migration guidance, and run Sync. Trace the Sync entry point for an existing database with no metadata; done means Sync no longer succeeds in that case and the expected failure is covered by a regression test.
