#6688 [BUG] flowiseai/flowise:3.1.4 fails to start (LangChain uuid, @smithy/eventstream-codec, connect-sqlite3)

Describe the bug

After upgrading from 3.1.3 to 3.1.4, Flowise fails to start with dependency/init errors inside the image. The same failures occur on a fresh named volume with no existing database, so this is not a migration issue.

Errors observed:

Package subpath './utils/uuid' is not defined by "exports" in @langchain/core/package.json
Cannot find module '@smithy/eventstream-codec'
TypeError: this.db.exec is not a function in connect-sqlite3

3.1.3 starts cleanly with the same host and Compose configuration.

To Reproduce

Pull the 3.1.4 image:
```
docker pull flowiseai/flowise:3.1.4
```
Create a fresh named volume:
```
docker volume create flowise-314-test
```

Ensure the volume is writable by the container’s node user (UID 1000):

docker run --rm -v flowise-314-test:/data alpine chown -R 1000:1000 /data

Run a clean 3.1.4 container with minimal env:

docker run --rm --name flowise-314-clean \
  -p 35454:35453 \
  -e PORT=35453 \
  -e DATABASE_PATH=/data \
  -e LOG_PATH=/data/logs \
  -e SECRETKEY_PATH=/data \
  -e BLOB_STORAGE_PATH=/data/storage \
  -v flowise-314-test:/data \
  flowiseai/flowise:3.1.4

Expected behavior

Flowise 3.1.4 should start successfully on a clean volume, or at least fail with a clear message if the image is defective. Instead, it crashes during component initialization with module resolution errors.

Additional context

Environment

Flowise image: flowiseai/flowise:3.1.4
Runtime user (inside container): uid=1000(node) gid=1000(node)
Host OS: Linux (Docker)
Docker version: [your docker version output]
Docker Compose version: [your docker compose version output]
Reproducible: Yes, on a fresh named volume with no existing data.

flowiseai/flowise:3.1.3 starts cleanly with the same host and volume strategy.
The errors occur inside the image’s bundled node_modules under /usr/local/lib/node_modules/flowise/..., not in the user-provided /data volume.
This is not a permission issue: the volume is chown -R 1000:1000 before starting.
No custom env vars beyond PORT, DATABASE_PATH, LOG_PATH, SECRETKEY_PATH, BLOB_STORAGE_PATH.
