test(database): add failing test for get_current_revision() SQLite threading error

- Added features/tdd_migration_runner_sqlite_threading.feature — a Behave BDD feature file with a TDD test for the SQLite threading bug in MigrationRunner.get_current_revision().
- Added features/steps/tdd_migration_runner_sqlite_threading_steps.py — Step definitions for the TDD test.
- The test scenario creates a raw sqlite3 connection in the main thread (without check_same_thread=False), wraps it in a SQLAlchemy engine using a creator function, monkey-patches create_engine so get_current_revision() uses the main-thread engine, calls get_current_revision() from a background thread, and asserts that no exception is raised.
- The test currently fails with ProgrammingError about SQLite thread safety (proving the bug exists). The @tdd_expected_fail tag inverts the result to passed in CI.

+"""Step definitions for TDD Issue #10487 — MigrationRunner SQLite threading error.
+
+These steps verify that ``MigrationRunner.get_current_revision()`` can be
+called safely from a background thread without raising a SQLite threading
+error.
+
+Currently FAILS because ``get_current_revision()`` creates a SQLite engine
+without ``connect_args={"check_same_thread": False}``.  When a connection
+created in the main thread is used from a background thread, SQLite raises:
+
+    ProgrammingError: SQLite objects created in a thread can only be used
+    in that same thread.
+
+Compare with ``init_or_upgrade()`` which correctly passes
+``connect_args={"check_same_thread": False}`` for SQLite.

+Feature: TDD Issue #10487 — MigrationRunner.get_current_revision() SQLite threading error
+  As a developer
+  I want to verify that MigrationRunner.get_current_revision() works correctly
+  when called from a background thread
+  So that the SQLite threading bug is captured and will be caught by a regression test
+
+  ``MigrationRunner.get_current_revision()`` creates a new SQLAlchemy engine
+  with ``create_engine(self.database_url)`` but does not pass

+  SQLite raises ``ProgrammingError: SQLite objects created in a thread can
+  only be used in that same thread``.
+
+  Compare with ``init_or_upgrade()`` which correctly passes
