//! Error types for the `emdb` crate.
//!
//! All fallible operations return [`Result<T>`] — an alias for
//! `core::result::Result<T, Error>`. The [`Error`] type enumerates every
//! failure mode the crate can produce. Error codes are reserved under the
//! `EM-XXXXX` prefix in the wider Hive error registry.

/// The top-level error type returned by every fallible operation in `emdb`.
///
/// The variant set is intentionally small during the early development
/// phase. It will grow as concrete subsystems land (storage engine,
/// transaction manager, query layer, etc.).
