startup crash due to sqlx migration checksum mismatch on logs_2.sqlite after updating to 26.519.2081.0

Technical Findings (Root Cause):

Misleading Error Context: Although the error window complained about /mnt/c/Users/Song/.codex/state_5.sqlite, the actual validation failure was occurring inside logs_2.sqlite's _sqlx_migrations table (both databases are initialized during the state runtime startup). Checksum Mismatch: The migration checksums for migration 1 ('logs') and 2 ('logs feedback log body') stored in the local logs_2.sqlite differed from what the new CLI binary (0.131.0 spawned via WSL) expected. Local logs_2.sqlite hash for migration 1 (from previous versions): F477E605... New binary (0.131.0) expected hash for migration 1: 009639EA... Line Endings / Immutable Violation: This is likely caused by either modifying past migration files in the new release, or a mismatch in CRLF vs LF line endings during the build pipeline of the binary packages. Suggestions for OpenAI Dev Team:

Please ensure migration files are strictly treated as immutable across releases, and normalize line endings before calculating the migration hashes in the build pipeline. Refine the exception propagation so the UI error message correctly specifies which database (logs_2.sqlite vs state_5.sqlite) actually failed the checksum verification.

I have submitted this problem in the feedback of the APP.
