db::open's create_if_missing(true) creates the SQLite database file but not its parent directory, so a fresh yt mcp service install on a host without ~/.local/share/youtrack-cli/ crash-looped with code: 14 unable to open database file until systemd's start limit tripped.

Fix both layers (defense in depth): db::open now ensures the parent directory of any file-backed SQLite URL exists before connecting, and the installer creates it at install time so permission errors surface during install rather than on first boot. The path is parsed out of the URL via the shared youtrack_mcp::parent_dir_for_url (sqlx's own get_filename resolution), so a --database-url override is honored and in-memory URLs (:memory:, mode=memory) are skipped.
