mod.rs

//! Opt-in periodic snapshots of in-memory server state (VM entity tables +
//! projection caches) and a restore path that rehydrates on startup, so a
//! restarted server comes back with its history instead of starting empty.
//!
//! arete-server owns all snapshot logic. The generated runtime's only
//! responsibilities are (1) registering the `VmContext`/`SlotTracker` it
//! creates via [`register_runtime`] and (2) hydrating from a restored blob via
//! [`take_restored`] before connecting to Yellowstone. Those hooks resolve
//! through a task-local [`SnapshotRuntime`], so multiple servers embedded in
//! one process cannot consume or replace each other's snapshot state. A stack
//! built with an older arete-macros simply never registers a VM; snapshots
//! stay disabled with a warning.
//!
//! Consistency cut: every generated VM update holds a shared snapshot barrier
//! guard until its mutation batch has been applied by the projector. Snapshot
//! capture takes the exclusive guard before dumping either side, so the VM,
//! projection caches, and resume watermark all describe the same processing
//! cut. On restore the stream replays from that watermark; the snapshotted
//! version trackers drop the overlap.
