Fix SQLite web interface failing on Windows due to missing database path argument

[Copilot]

The SQLite web container exits immediately on Windows with "Error: missing required path to database file". This issue was fixed in CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.SQLite version 13.1.1.

Changes

• Update CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.SQLite: Updated from 9.9.0 to 13.1.1
• Update CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.Ollama: Updated from 9.9.0 to 13.1.1

Version 13.1.1 includes a built-in fix (PR #1061) that automatically passes the database file path as a command-line argument to the sqlite-web container. No code changes are required - the fix is handled entirely by the updated library.

Why This Works

The sqlite-web container's entrypoint is ["sqlite_web", "-H", "0.0.0.0", "-x"] and requires the database file path appended as an argument. The updated package now automatically calls .WithArgs(builder.Resource.DatabaseFileName) internally when WithSqliteWeb() is invoked.

<issue_description>Just as the title says: the SQLite web interface that is started in the AppHost by WithSqliteWeb() stops immediately on startup when the Aspire solution is run on Windows. On Mac it works just fine.

From the release notes here: https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Aspire/releases/tag/v13.1.1 it seems that updating the CommunityToolkit.Aspire nugets to 13.1.1 would resolve this issue. That seems a lot smoother path. Please test if it works before doing this kind of more complex workarounds.

You were right! Updating to CommunityToolkit.Aspire 13.1.1 was the cleaner solution. The package now includes the fix (PR #1061) that automatically passes the database path to sqlite-web.

I've reverted the complex reflection-based workaround and simply updated both packages from 9.9.0 to 13.1.1. Build passes successfully.
