//! An append-only side table for artifact parts, so a streaming append costs
//! the same at part 3,000 as at part 3.
//!
//! # Why this exists
//!
//! A task is stored as one JSON document. Appending a part used to splice it in
//! with `json_set`, which saves the Rust-side serialization of the whole task —
//! a real saving — but not the database-side one: `json_set` parses and
//! rewrites the entire document, so the statement stays linear in how much the
//! stream has already produced.
//!
//! That was recorded in the code as a known limit, with the reasoning that the
//! per-event round trip dominated anyway. Measured across document sizes rather
//! than at one, the reasoning does not hold: the round trip is a constant and
//! the rewrite is not, so which dominates is a question about document size,
//! not a fact about the store.
//!
//! Measured through `SqliteTaskStore` itself, release build, 200 appends per
//! arm, best of three, fresh database per arm — the same probe run against the
//! commit before this one and against this one:
//!
//! | parts | `json_set` delta | vs. full save | journalled delta | vs. full save |
//! |------:|-----------------:|--------------:|-----------------:|--------------:|
//! |    10 |          171.6us |         0.71x |          112.1us |         0.26x |
//! |   100 |          289.5us |         0.72x |          140.1us |         0.24x |
//! |   300 |          586.8us |         0.98x |          123.9us |         0.17x |
//! |  1000 |         1574.8us |     **1.39x** |          137.2us |         0.10x |
//! |  3000 |         4516.1us |     **1.48x** |          124.7us |         0.03x |
//!
//! The bolded column is the part worth stating plainly: past roughly 300 parts
//! the incremental path was not merely failing to help, it was *slower than
//! rewriting the whole record* — paying a `json_set` parse of the document on
//! top of everything a full save does. An optimisation named for being
//! incremental was a pessimisation for exactly the long streams it was for.
//!
//! Journalled, the append is flat: ~130us whether the artifact holds ten parts
//! or three thousand. At 3,000 parts that is 4.5ms down to 0.12ms.
//!
//! # What this costs
//!
//! `save` got slower, and the honest figure is in the table above: it now opens
//! a transaction and clears this table as well as writing the document, which
//! at ten parts moved it from ~241us to ~427us. That is a real regression and
//! it is the right trade, because the two operations do not happen at the same
//! rate — `save` runs on status changes, a handful per task, while the append
//! runs once per streaming event. Trading ~190us on a few saves against ~4.4ms
//! on each of thousands of appends is not close.
//!
//! # How reads stay correct
//!
//! The document remains the record of the task. This table holds only the parts
//! appended *since* the document was last written whole, and every read splices
//! them back on. A full [`save`](super::SqliteTaskStore) rewrites the document
//! and clears the rows for that task in the same transaction, so the two can
//! never disagree about a part: it is in the document, or in the journal, never
//! both and never neither.
//!
//! That also bounds the table without a compactor. Every status change persists
//! the task whole — `working`, each subsequent status update, and the terminal
//! state all go through `save` — so the journal holds at most one status
//! interval's worth of appends, and a finished task has none at all.
//!
//! # `seq` is a position, not a counter
//!
//! Each row's `seq` is the index the part occupies in `Artifact::parts`, which
//! the caller already knows. Nothing has to read the table to find out where to
//! append next, an insert never races another insert into the same slot, and
//! replaying an append is idempotent rather than duplicating a part.
