Current error is this, which is quite alarming to the average user.

ERROR conduwuit: Critical error starting server: I/O error: Corruption: Missing WAL with log number: 335261.

Expected behavior is to do one of the following:

successively retry/iterate until all portions of the database have been apprehended, or
exit cowardly, immediately, and refuse to even open a --read-only shell against a locked database, or
provide another way (i.e. momentary interruption) for a --read-only shell to request a momentary or partial release on the lock, so it can scan the logs into memory without them changing.
