We already do this in debug builds.

The foreign key check enforces this, but at a certainly not-null performance cost (understatement). This is why I haven't enabled this for release builds.
(The original reason for not enabling them was that it required a newer Sqlite version)

You can't delete a PRISTINE row that is used with foreign keys enabled. (That part is currently not backed by an index... the performance killer. And optimized away by our reference counting via triggers)

The index you need is already there, or the triggers that update them on any change of NODES would be terribly slow.

With foreign key checking enabled you can't add a row to NODES pointing to a non-existing PRISTINE row.
