gunnar-core 3.0.0

//! Secrets as an **Arrow IPC log**: there is no database.
//!
//! `ArrowLogSecretStore` is the live half of this module: it stores SSH host keys
//! and bootstrap material in `secrets.arrow`, with append durability and immediate
//! compaction of superseded values so rotated secrets do not remain on disk.
//!
//! The old Arrow reference store has been retired. Reference storage now lives in
//! the znippy ref log; this module keeps only the shared Arrow framing/durability
//! machinery and the secret store. The reference schema constants remain because
//! `crate::history` can still read/seal legacy Arrow reflog history.

///
/// | alignment | bytes/push | live log at 4001 pushes | durable pushes/s | µs/push | reopen |
/// |---|---|---|---|---|---|
/// | 64 (arrow's default) | 1 536.1 | 6 145 984 B | 15 615 | 64.05 | 20.50 ms |
/// | **8** | **680.1** | **2 721 128 B** | **17 450** | **57.31** | **16.72 ms** |
/// | | **2.258× smaller** | 2.258× | **1.118×** | 1.118× | **1.226× faster** |
///
/// Every one of the four pairs favoured 8 on every metric; the byte figures are
/// exact and load-independent.
///
/// **The throughput win is a consequence of the size win, not a separate
/// effect.** `fsync`'s share of the wall clock is 0.830–0.838 *in both arms* —
/// the sync did not get relatively cheaper, there were simply 2.26× fewer bytes
/// for it to force through the XFS log. That also explains why the one thing
/// tried before this — `fsync` → `fdatasync` — measured **no change at all**
/// (16 252 → 16 449 pushes/s, inside the run-to-run spread): on XFS an append
/// commits the size update through the log either way, so the timestamp
/// metadata `fdatasync` skips was never what was being paid for. Recorded so it
/// is not tried a third time.
///
/// # Why this is safe to change
///
/// 64 is a *recommendation* in the Arrow IPC specification, for the benefit of
/// readers that want to hand a buffer straight to a SIMD kernel; 8 is the
/// specification's requirement. Every message on disk carries its own
/// `bodyLength`, so a stream written at 64 and appended to at 8 stays readable
/// message by message and **no migration is needed** — which
/// `an_existing_64_byte_aligned_log_is_still_read_after_the_alignment_changed`
/// asserts against real bytes rather than by argument.
///
/// What is given up is the guarantee that a mapped body's buffers land on
/// 64-byte boundaries. Nothing in gunnar maps this log: it is read with
/// `StreamReader` over a `Cursor`, which copies into freshly-allocated,

///
/// | concurrent writers | total durable pushes/s | aggregate lock wait |
/// |---|---|---|
/// | 1 | 13 038 | 0.000 s |
/// | 8 | 14 505 | 2.224 s |
/// | 32 | 14 907 | **9.934 s** against 0.550 s of wall clock |
///
/// Flat throughput and lock wait rising linearly with the writer count is the
/// signature of a serialised barrier, not of a busy disk.
///
/// # What it costs now
///
/// **Five interleaved A/B pairs** from two binaries differing only in this
/// change, md1, loadavg matched within each pair (11–26 across the set).
/// Medians of total durable transactions per second:
///
/// | concurrent writers | before | after | |
/// |---|---|---|---|
/// | 1 | 14 387 | 14 836 | 1.03× — nothing to group, and nothing lost |
/// | 2 | 15 901 | 15 964 | 1.00× |

/// | 32 | 15 070 | 42 117 | **2.79×** |
///
/// Aggregate lock wait at 32 writers went **8.5–10.5 s → 0.27–0.66 s**, about
/// 19×, which is the mechanism showing through: the pushers stopped queueing
/// behind one another's `fsync`.
///
/// The single-writer row is the one that had to not move, and it did not. Group
/// commit is a **concurrency** lever; it makes a lone pusher neither faster nor
/// slower, and a change that had quietly taxed the serial path would show here.
/// The 32-writer column is the widest-spread one (21 236 to 50 873 across the
/// five runs) because the box was carrying loadavg 22–26 while it ran; the
/// median is quoted rather than the best, and the *shape* — flat before, rising
/// after — is what the claim rests on.
///
/// # What this does instead
///
/// The descriptor here is a `dup` of the log's — the same open file
/// description and the same inode, so an `fsync` issued on it flushes bytes
/// another thread's `write` put there through the other descriptor. A committer
/// therefore:
///
/// 1. appends its frame under the writer mutex and takes a commit sequence;
/// 2. **releases the writer mutex**, so the next pusher can already be writing;
/// 3. asks this gate to make that sequence durable.
///
/// Step 3 is leader/follower. Whoever gets here first reads `written_seq`
/// *before* syncing and publishes it as `durable_seq` after — so the one sync it
/// performs is credited with every commit that had already reached the kernel
/// when it started, which is exactly the set that `fsync` is guaranteed to
/// cover. Everyone whose sequence is at or below that watermark returns without
/// syncing at all. N pushers cost the number of *rounds*, not N.
///
/// # The one property that changed, stated plainly
///
/// The acknowledgement barrier is unchanged: `transaction` still does not return
/// `Ok` until this gate has made that transaction's bytes durable, and
/// `a_transaction_is_durable_before_it_returns_ok` still asserts it against the
/// file's own length.
///
/// What did change is **reader visibility**. The in-memory ref map is published
/// under the writer mutex, which is now released before the sync, so for the
/// duration of one barrier a concurrent *reader* can observe a ref move whose
/// bytes are not yet on the platter. Nobody has been promised anything — the
/// pusher has not been acknowledged — but a fetch served inside that window and
/// followed by a power cut would have handed out a ref the log no longer names.
/// This is the ordinary read-uncommitted trade a group-committing log makes, and
/// it is written down here rather than discovered later.
