Bit rot is silent, cumulative, and inevitable. A single flipped bit in a

B-tree

interior node can corrupt an entire subtree of rows. Standard SQLite relies entirely on external tools (ZFS checksums, periodic backups, manual PRAGMA integrity_check) to detect and repair this damage after the fact.

FrankenSQLite builds recovery directly into the storage engine.

RaptorQ fountain codes

generate

repair symbols

for every data page at write time. When corruption is detected on read, whether from bit rot, disk error, or cosmic ray,

inactivation decoding

reconstructs the original bytes from the surviving symbols. No backup restore. No operator intervention. Automatic recovery, guaranteed within the configured overhead budget. Click the healthy pages below to simulate corruption and watch the engine reconstruct them in real time.
