//! Transaction lifecycle (§5.4): Begin/Read/Write/Commit/Abort.
//!
//! This module implements the full transaction lifecycle for both
//! Serialized and Concurrent modes.  It provides:
//!
//! - [`BeginKind`]: The four modes (Deferred, Immediate, Exclusive, Concurrent).
//! - [`TransactionManager`]: Orchestrates begin/read/write/commit/abort.
//! - [`Savepoint`]: Transaction-local write snapshots for page and cell deltas.
//! - [`CommitResponse`]: Result type for the commit sequencer.
