Set SQLITE_DRIVER_VERSION above 3.1.1.

ensure_database_configured() calls configure_database() only when the current version is greater than the saved version. The current version is 3.1.0, so databases already saved at 3.1.0 skip run_migrations(). Their temporal defaults and DATETIME_PRECISION values remain unrepaired.

lines 336 - 342:
Update the SQLITE_DRIVER_VERSION value used by ensure_database_configured() and
configure_database() to a version greater than 3.1.1, so databases saved at
3.1.0 enter run_migrations() and receive both temporal repairs. Preserve the
existing run_migrations() version comparison and migration behavior.
