The local api-http-stack dev stack wiped its SQLite state DB (state.db) on every start, so a deployment made before a restart was silently lost.

This keeps the DB by default and gates the wipe behind an explicit API_RESET_STATE=1. Restarting api/ -- for example after rebuilding it against a different module source -- no longer destroys deployment state.

This is a prerequisite for the schema-change view (#213): demonstrating it means deploying under an old schema, restarting api/ baked against the new one, then reopening the form -- which only works if the deployment row survives the restart. The schema-change-viz branch documents that end-to-end flow and should land after this.

Verified: nix-build ./api -A api-http-stack builds clean (its writeShellApplication runs shellcheck over the new conditional); treefmt reports no change.

Disclaimer: I used a coding agent in the creation of this patch.
