Odd not to highlight the sentence where they answer the obvious question "Why Tailscale in particular?":
> They also explained why we were more likely to hit the bug than other SQLite users: we take manual control of the checkpointing process, and we checkpoint very aggressively. Even a bug triggered by a rare condition was bound to hit us eventually.
The bug requires two checkpoints in very quick succession, which presumably isn't something sqlite would do on its own, as it would be a pointless waste of performance.
Tailscale isn't mentioned in the SQLite changelog.
