Keep the commit error in the chain when rollback also fails inside an except block.

When COMMIT and the fallback ROLLBACK both fail during a normal with exit inside an active except block, the explicit context assignment is overwritten. The rollback error then carries the enclosing exception as __context__, and the commit error is absent from the chain. Either preserve the commit error through the VM contextualization path, or document that this path loses it.

Context of the overwrite

The VM replaces the context of a raised exception with the handled exception on the normal-exit path. Native code sets the context first, so the explicit assignment has no effect when an except block is active.

Review comment at @crates/stdlib/src/_sqlite3.rs at line 2060:
Update the rollback-failure handling around rollback_error.set_context so the
commit error remains reachable in the exception chain after VM contextualization
replaces the rollback error’s context inside an active except block. Establish
where contextualization occurs and preserve both errors through that path; do
not rely on the native context assignment being retained.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr
