Fix Chromium crash caused by corrupted Sync Data LevelDB
# Chromium Coredump Fix - Corrupted Sync Data
## Symptom
Chromium crashes immediately on launch with SIGTRAP coredump.
## Cause
Corrupted `Sync Data/LevelDB` database in the Chromium profile.
## Fix
```bash
mv ~/.config/chromium/Default/"Sync Data" ~/.config/chromium/Default/"Sync Data.bak"
```
Sync data will re-download from Google's servers on next sign-in.
Bookmarks, history, extensions, and passwords are unaffected.
