[Mac] calibre quits after doing anything. How to recover?

calibre 6.2.1 running on iMac 27" (2020), macOS 12.5

To make a long story shorter, I added a book that seemed to have some metadata calibre didn't like, and now maybe metadata.db is corrupt. I tried Restore database (it crashed after doing it), but problem persists. I managed to remove the apparently offending book.

Now I cannot do anything after launching without it crashing. Including Restore database, Convert ePub->ePub, edit metadata. I'm not even sure if metadata corruption is the issue any more.

I was getting similar error in Crash Report, but now don't even get those. Poof!

Launching from command line, I'm getting segmentation fault:

Saving session...completed.

[Process completed]
The Crash Reports from before have similar error.

Is there some command line option to trigger some logging?
