[DB] Cannot create data directory

Error message

[DB] Cannot create data directory '${DATA_DIR}': ${msg}

What it means

Creating the OmniRoute data directory (DATA_DIR, default ~/.omniroute) failed with a filesystem error — typically permission denial or a read-only home directory. This is the restricted-home fallback path (#133): the warning is emitted and the system falls back to an alternative location (or continues without the directory), affecting where the SQLite database and artifacts are stored.

Solutions

1. Check permissions on the home directory / DATA_DIR path
2. Set DATA_DIR env var to a writable location
3. For sandboxed/containerized runs, mount a writable volume at the chosen DATA_DIR
