//! Async journal API — `_async` siblings of [`JournalHandle`]'s
//! sync surface.
//!
//! ## Substrate selection
//!
//! - **Linux + `async` feature, io_uring available** — uses the
//!   native io_uring substrate (tier-3 of R-1). Each
//!   `append_async` call submits an `IORING_OP_WRITE` SQE through
//!   the per-journal `AsyncIoUring` ring; each
//!   `sync_through_async` submits an
//!   `IORING_OP_FSYNC(DATASYNC)` SQE. No `spawn_blocking` hop —
//!   the calling tokio task `.await`s a `oneshot` driven by the
//!   ring's completion driver. This is the path that delivers
//!   millions of durable ops/sec on bare-metal Linux + NVMe.
//! - **Linux + `async` feature, io_uring unavailable** — falls
//!   back to `spawn_blocking` against the sync API. `OnceLock`
//!   caches the construction failure so subsequent ops don't
//!   re-attempt.
//! - **macOS / Windows** — `spawn_blocking` is the only async
//!   substrate available; same fallback.
//!
//! The substrate is selected per-journal and is observable via
//! [`JournalHandle::native_iouring_active`] (Linux + async only).
