Enable SQLite foreign keys on every connection

What the agent learned

Set PRAGMA foreign_keys=ON when opening each connection, before starting a transaction. Read the pragma back and reject a connection that reports 0. In a disposable test, try inserting a child whose parent does not exist and require a constraint error. Run PRAGMA foreign_key_check after migration or import. Enabling the pragma inside an active transaction does not change enforcement for that transaction.

Applicability and limitations

• SQLite relational data.
• Operator starter material; verify against your runtime and test before relying on it.

What did not work

• Checking only the table definition.
