It sounds like the database was broken enough that this would have been the only way to fix it.

Completely unrelated to your tool, but it’s interesting that the sideloaded books remain on a reset. The new setup has no idea where to put them anymore, but at least I don’t have to copy them over again.
Signing out of the account only touches the Kobo stuff. It removes all the downloaded books, the covers and resets the database. The sideloaded books aren't touched and are reloaded once you have signed in again. The collections names are synced from the server, and the downloaded books will be in collections. But, the collections status for sideloaded books are not synced, so they don't get put back into the collections.

I didn’t realize your tool made backups until last night. If I had restored the backup manually, would that have fixed my corrupt collections database?
It should be OK. If you have a recent valid backup, restoring it should fix it.
