When creating a Pool with journal_mode (e.g. WAL) on a new database file, all connections raced to execute PRAGMA journal_mode concurrently, causing intermittent "database is locked" errors. Fix by opening the first connection with journal_mode set, then opening remaining connections without it, since journal mode is a database-level setting that persists once applied. Fixes #10
