The documentation has the following about the OFF setting of JOURNAL_MODE:

"The OFF journaling mode disables the rollback journal completely. No
rollback journal is ever created and hence there is never a rollback
journal to delete. The OFF journaling mode disables the atomic commit
and rollback capabilities of SQLite. If a crash or power failure
occurs in the middle of a transaction when the OFF journaling mode is
set, then the database file will very likely go corrupt."

I wonder what 'corrupt' means here.

Does it mean corrupt as in 'the internal low-level database structure
will likely go corrupt' or does it mean 'the data in the database will
likely go inconsistent'.

The difference is subtle, but important for my application.
