Aha - wonderful! With that syncthing 2.0.14 starts just fine.

(It then chokes with the same "panic: crypto/tls bug: where's my
session ticket?" as 1.x when built under go1.26, but locking it to
go1.25 avoids that)

It takes.... a while to migrate to sqlite, and amusingly shows a "UI"
which is just the migration log during the process (I rather like
that).

Once migrated it seems to play nicely with syncthing 1.x systems. Will
leave it running a while before proposing we update net/syncthing -
maybe after the branch.

Thanks for the fix!
