- * Client-side, read-only AMQ database access.
+ * Client-side, read-only AMQ database helper.
  *
- * - Seeds SQLocal's managed database file from `static/data/amq.sqlite`
- * - Uses a version key so you control when clients refresh their local snapshot
- * - Exposes a small query helper to fetch a short anime list for display
+ * Responsibilities:
+ * - Seed SQLocal's managed DB file from `static/data/amq.sqlite` (served at `/data/amq.sqlite`)
+ * - Gate the overwrite behind a manual version key (so you decide when clients refresh)
+ * - Provide minimal query helpers for browsing
  *
- * Notes:
- * - This module MUST only be used in the browser. Guard with `browser`, or call
- *   the exported functions from `onMount`.
- * - `overwriteDatabaseFile()` resets connections, so only call it when needed.
+ * IMPORTANT:
+ * - Call these functions only in the browser (e.g. from `onMount`)
+ * - `overwriteDatabaseFile()` resets connections; don't call it repeatedly
