The lease/earliest_run_after queries full-scanned tasks, and the
rollback journal blocked readers behind worker writes. journal_mode=WAL
(persistent, idempotent) plus idx_tasks_pending(status, run_after)
covers both without a schema migration.
Converge the duplicated open_db (open + busy_timeout) and the
spawn_blocking + expect ceremony that every table access repeated
into one db.rs module. ChatStore no longer creates the tasks table
(schema ownership: queue.rs owns tasks, state.rs chat_state,
link_cache.rs link_cache). No schema or behavior change - all
CREATE TABLE statements are byte-identical, IF NOT EXISTS stays
idempotent, so existing data/task_queue.db files need no migration.
