Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR adds guidance for SQLite read-only errors, but the current implementation emits an unsafe shell command containing the source path and misses a pagination path that can suppress the intended error and drop a source.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Do not interpolate source_path into the shell command.
An input-controlled path can contain a double quote and shell syntax. If an operator copies this remediation command, that path can execute supplied shell code. Keep the dynamic path outside the executable command, or apply shell-specific escaping.
Proposed fix
- f" sqlite3 \"{source_path}\" 'PRAGMA journal_mode=DELETE;'\n\n"
+ " sqlite3 <path-to-source.sqlite> 'PRAGMA journal_mode=DELETE;'\n\n"
+ f"Source path: {source_path}\n\n"📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Close conn after copying the fixture.
The sqlite3.Connection context manager does not close conn. Close it before TemporaryDirectory cleanup to support platforms that prohibit deletion of open SQLite files.
