📄 Description

Fixes: https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/20051#issuecomment-3678747823

Previously, the connection logic incorrectly stripped the leading slash from sqlite+sqlcipher paths, forcibly converting absolute paths (e.g., sqlite+sqlcipher:////app/data.db) into relative paths (which became app/data.db). This caused database initialization failures when using absolute paths, such as with Docker volume mounts.

This change removes the slash-stripping logic, ensuring that absolute path conventions (starting with /) are respected while maintaining support for relative paths (which do not start with /).
