The Sentry issue (Unable to write file 'vscode-log:/…/window.log' (Error: IndexedDB database 'vscode-web-db' is closed.), culprit r1t.writeFile in dist/out/vs/code/browser/workbench/workbench.js) originates from the VS Code Web workbench bundle served by ide.membrane.io. That bundle is not part of this repository — this repo only contains the Astro docs site, so no code path here produces or handles the failing log flush.

The closest correct change available here is documentation: the IDE guide now has a Troubleshooting section explaining the error, its common causes (multiple IDE tabs where one loads a newer version and triggers an IndexedDB versionchange, site data cleared/evicted while the IDE is open, private browsing), and the remedy (reload the tab; keep one IDE tab per profile).

To actually stop the unhandled rejection from being reported, the fix belongs in the IDE/workbench repo: the browser log flush should catch write failures when the IndexedDB connection is closed (or the IndexedDB filesystem provider should reopen the database) instead of rejecting unhandled.
