Description
I found this old discussion from Alex, and I learned that SQLite doesn't have checksums. That makes me deeply uncomfortable.
SQLite has a checksum VFS shim, but this is an extension and not enabled by default. I propose we enable this by default in libsql (or sqld), which would be a great value addition.

Research direction
Read the linked SQLite checksum VFS documentation and inspect the libsql or sqld entry point where extensions are configured. Done means checksum support is enabled by default rather than requiring user opt-in, with the resulting behavior verified.
