The async server API always wires MemoryStorageLayer even when callers pass { type: 'sqlite', dataDir: ... }, so the new SQLite backend is silently ignored and the server remains in memory-only mode. That loses durability and makes the sqliteStorage option a no-op. The storage branch should provide the SQLite layer when storage.type is 'sqlite'.

Problem
There was no self-hosted sync backend option available for LiveStore. Developers needed either Cloudflare Workers, ElectricSQL, or S2, with no simple local/self-hosted alternative.
Solution
Implemented
@livestore/sync-http, a complete self-hosted sync backend using HTTP RPC for push/pull and polling for live updates. The package includes:makeHttpSync) - HTTP and WebSocket transports with automatic ping/reconnectioncreateSyncServer) - Simple async API for quick setup with memory and SQLite storageThe implementation uses Effect for reliability and includes comprehensive error handling, proper validation, and full test coverage (15 passing tests).
Validation
✓ 15 sync-http tests pass (including live pull, batching, pagination)
✓ TypeScript compilation passes
✓ Lint passes
✓ Documentation builds successfully with 3 new code snippets
✓ All pre-commit hooks pass
