Some checks failed
CI: Python / Checks (push) Has been cancelled
refactor(core): Lock before measuring, and stop measuring on SQLite
Addresses two more review findings on the guard.

Take the exclusive lock before the scan, not with the ALTER. The ALTER
takes it either way; acquiring it first is what makes check and change
atomic. Without it a main still serving the old version could write an
overlong value between the two, and the ALTER would fail rather than take
the warning path. Migrations run with `transaction: 'each'`, so the lock is
held until the migration commits.

Do not measure on SQLite. It does not enforce varchar(n), so the declared
type is documentation and no value can make the update fail. Measuring
there only meant an overlong value could leave the declaration, and the
generated schema docs, out of line with the entity for no reason.

What does n8n mean?

Short answer: It means "nodemation" and is pronounced as n-eight-n.

Long answer: "I get that question quite often (more often than I expected) so I decided it is probably best to answer it here. While looking for a good name for the project with a free domain I realized very quickly that all the good ones I could think of were already taken. So, in the end, I chose nodemation. 'node-' in the sense that it uses a Node-View and that it uses Node.js and '-mation' for 'automation' which is what the project is supposed to help with. However, I did not like how long the name was and I could not imagine writing something that long every time in the CLI. That is when I then ended up on 'n8n'." - Jan Oberhauser, Founder and CEO, n8n.io
