//! Durable persistence for paused workflow runs.
//!
//! The [`WorkflowEngine`](crate::WorkflowEngine) itself is pure: `run` returns a
//! [`PausedWorkflow`] checkpoint and `resume` takes one back. To survive a
//! process restart, that checkpoint has to live somewhere. [`CheckpointStore`]
//! is a minimal file-per-run JSON store: one `<run_id>.json` per paused run.
//!
//! It is deliberately separate from the engine so the execution logic stays
//! I/O-free and unit-testable, and so callers can swap in a different backing
//! store (database, object store) without touching the engine.
//!
//! ## Resume safety
//!
//! [`resume`](crate::WorkflowEngine::resume) may run side-effecting downstream
//! stages. [`CheckpointStore::claim`] atomically renames `<run_id>.json` to
//! `<run_id>.inflight` and hands back the checkpoint; a racing or duplicate
//! claim finds no `.json` and gets `None`. This makes resume **at-most-one
//! concurrent** — two in-flight resumes of one run cannot both proceed. The
//! caller runs `resume`, then [`save`](CheckpointStore::save)s a fresh
//! checkpoint if the run paused again, and finally
//! [`complete`](CheckpointStore::complete)s to drop the in-flight marker.
//!
//! This is *not* exactly-once across a crash: if the process dies after `claim`
//! but before `complete`, the `.inflight` marker is orphaned. Call
//! [`recover_orphaned`](CheckpointStore::recover_orphaned) once at startup
//! (before any resume can be in flight) to re-arm such runs. True
//! exactly-once for non-idempotent side effects needs an idempotency key at the
//! side-effect boundary and is out of scope here.
//!
//! ## Durability scope
//!
//! `save` writes a temp file and renames it into place, which is atomic against
//! a *clean* process restart (no half-written checkpoint is ever visible). It
//! does not `fsync`, so it is not a guarantee against power-loss / kernel crash.
