## Key Design Decisions
1. **Dual API**: Single-threaded (`Rc`) and thread-safe (`Arc<Mutex>`) APIs both available
2. **SQLiteGraph storage**: Checkpoints stored as `GraphEntity` with JSON state
3. **TDD approach**: Tests written first, then implementation
4. **Send/Sync for trait**: `CheckpointStorage: Send + Sync` enables thread-safe trait objects
5. **Per-manager sequences**: Each manager maintains its own sequence counter

## Project Complete! 🎉
### What Was Built
A production-ready Temporal Checkpointing system with:
- **Core checkpointing** (create, query, restore)
- **Persistent storage** (SQLite backend)
- **Export/import** (JSON format)
- **Thread safety** (concurrent operations)
- **Integration API** (service layer with events)
- **WebSocket API** (real-time remote access)
- **Performance benchmarks** (Criterion.rs with 11 groups)
- **WebSocket event broadcasting** (real-time notifications)
- **Global sequence numbers** (across all sessions)
- **Data integrity** (SHA-256 checksums, validation)
- **110 tests** (all passing)
### Future Enhancements (Post-Wave 10)
- Distributed checkpointing across nodes
- Advanced compaction strategies
- Checkpoint encryption
- Cloud storage backends
