Dolt silently fails to load databases sometimes, for example permission reasons (example below). I would have preferred dolt sql (or anything that starts an engine) to at least warn me about .dolt directories that fail to load.
maxhoffman@Maxs-MacBook-Pro ~/D/d/tmp2> dolt init
maxhoffman@Maxs-MacBook-Pro ~/D/d/tmp2> dolt sql
# Welcome to the DoltSQL shell.
# Statements must be terminated with ';'.
# "exit" or "quit" (or Ctrl-D) to exit. "/help;" for help.
tmp2/main*> show databases;

| Database |

3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
tmp2/main*> exit
Bye
