Details

Falls back to serve.duckdb when the full sdm.duckdb is absent. The server deliberately does not carry the multi-GB v8 database — it holds only the KB-sized view DB over the released Parquet — so without this fallback anything calling sdm_db_con() there (notably the /report endpoint) fails outright on v8. The Shiny apps already did this inline; centralising it here stops the two from drifting.
