+1. read the tests from top to bottom
+
+2. focus on getting "some" of the tests working (e.g. the queries?)
+   - use describe.skip
+   - this may not work if the tests depend on state from earlier tests?
+   - could see if this is case with indexdb tests

+3. investigate if "parallelism" is messing with us here
+   - vitest uses "pools" to run many in once, the default strategy is "thread" (there is also "fork")
