sqlite4n6 is a read-only SQLite forensic CLI. It carves deleted records out of
a database's free (unallocated) space — freelist pages, in-page free blocks,
dropped-table pages, and an uncheckpointed WAL overlay — recovering rows a live
query cannot, and grades forensically-notable anomalies into severity-ranked
findings. It opens the evidence file read-only and never writes the file or its
sidecars.
