7/// A writer that buffers the raw content of a [Blob] to optimize the performance of appending or
8/// updating data.
9///
10/// # Allocation Semantics
11///
12/// - [Self::new] starts with a detached tip buffer and allocates backing on first buffered write.
13/// - Subsequent writes reuse that backing, copy-on-write allocation only occurs when buffered data
14///   is shared (for example, after handing out immutable views) or a merge needs more capacity.
15/// - Sparse writes merged into tip extend logical length and zero-fill any gap in-buffer.
16/// - Flush paths ([Self::sync], [Self::resize], overlap flushes in [Self::write_at]) hand drained
17///   bytes to the blob and leave the tip detached until the next buffered write.
18///
19/// # Access
20///
21/// [Write] is a single-owner buffered handle that owns mutation ordering and durability
22/// bookkeeping for the wrapped [Blob]. Raw [Blob] handles cloned before wrapping observe only
23/// flushed data and may not see the latest buffered writes until [Self::sync], [Self::resize], or
24/// an overlapping [Self::write_at] flushes them. Those raw handles must not be used to write,
25/// resize, or otherwise mutate the blob while a [Write] exists. External mutations bypass the
26/// buffer state and [Self::sync] may use [Blob::write_at] with [WriteOptions::SYNC], which is
27/// not a durability barrier for those external mutations.
28///
29/// # Example
30///
31/// ```
32/// use commonware_runtime::{Runner, BufferPooler, buffer::{Write, Read}, Blob, Error, Storage, deterministic};
33/// use commonware_utils::NZUsize;
34///
35/// let executor = deterministic::Runner::default();
36/// executor.start(|context| async move {
37///     // Open a blob for writing
38///     let (blob, size) = context.open("my_partition", b"my_data").await.expect("unable to open blob");
39///     assert_eq!(size, 0);
40///
41///     // Create a buffered writer with 16-byte buffer
42///     let mut blob = Write::from_pooler(&context, blob, 0, NZUsize!(16));
43///     blob.write_at(0, b"hello").await.expect("write failed");
44///     blob.sync().await.expect("sync failed");
45///
46///     // Write more data in multiple flushes
47///     blob.write_at(5, b" world").await.expect("write failed");
48///     blob.write_at(11, b"!").await.expect("write failed");
49///     blob.sync().await.expect("sync failed");

51///     // Read back the data to verify
52///     let (blob, size) = context.open("my_partition", b"my_data").await.expect("unable to reopen blob");
