Summary
This fixes fresh multisite installation when the SQLite database is still empty.
The change:
Closes #490.
Why
When
MULTISITEwas defined before installation, database startup queriedwp_blogsbefore WordPress had created it. The connection failed, so WordPress never had the opportunity to install the network tables.Validation: The reported workflow was reproduced end to end with a fresh SQLite database and WordPress 7.0.1.
wp core multisite-installcompleted successfully, and the resulting network and main site were verified.
