//!
//! ## Claim coverage
//!
//! | Claim | Verdict | Test(s) |
//! |-------|---------|---------|
//! | Index.db entry = u16 BE key len + raw key + unsigned vint offset + vint promoted_len | CORRECT & TESTED | `test_index_db_big_format_*` |
//! | No 0x0010 marker / no MD5 digest in Index.db (Issue #552 fix) | CORRECT & TESTED | `test_no_marker_or_digest_in_index_db` |
//! | UUID key (16 bytes) produces 0x0010 key_len, not a "format marker" | CORRECT & TESTED | `test_uuid_key_len_not_a_marker` |
//! | Summary.db sampling_level = BASE_SAMPLING_LEVEL (128) for new SSTables | BUG FIXED (#636) | `test_sampling_level_is_base_not_min_index_interval` |
//! | Summary.db size_at_full_sampling = total_partitions / min_index_interval | BUG FIXED (#636) | `test_size_at_full_sampling_uses_partition_count` |
//! | Summary.db header is 24 bytes big-endian | CORRECT & TESTED | `test_summary_header_byte_layout` |
//! | Summary.db offset table is LITTLE-ENDIAN | CORRECT & TESTED | `test_summary_offset_table_is_little_endian` |
//! | BTI has no Summary.db / Index.db components | CORRECT & TESTED | `test_bti_has_no_summary_or_index_components` |
//! | BTI sign-bit routing: negative = direct Data.db offset, non-negative = Rows.db | CORRECT & TESTED | `test_bti_sign_bit_position_routing` |
//! | BTI FLAG_HAS_HASH_BYTE = 8 always written in 5.0 | CORRECT & TESTED | `test_bti_hash_byte_payload_flag` |
