fix(release): the packaged-app smoke verifies the database opened, not a driver line the primary path never prints

The packaged app does open SQLite during the smoke (migrations run, [DB] Added …
column, cache_size lines) but its primary open path prints no "[DB] Driver: …"
line — only the recovery path and the sql.js fallback do — so the #7592 assertion
demanded a line that never exists and every Linux release leg failed on it. The
guard now: rejects the sql.js fallback line (which the fallback always prints),
accepts a native driver line, and otherwise accepts demonstrable database activity;
after readiness the smoke requests /api/monitoring/health and waits for that
activity, outside the readiness retry loop so a missing database is a verdict, not
a retry. The previous commit on this branch had the wait inside the loop and made
ci.yml's Electron Package Smoke fail; electron-smoke-script suite 10/10.
