//! Core database engine that owns the `HyperProcess` and its connection.
//!
//! The [`Engine`] is the single point of contact with the Hyper database. It
//! manages process startup, connection lifecycle, table DDL, query execution,
//! and workspace metadata. All higher-level modules (ingest, export, server)
//! operate through an `&Engine` reference.
//!
//! # Lazy Initialization and Connection Recovery
//!
//! The engine is lazily initialized by [`crate::server::HyperMcpServer`] on the
//! first tool call (not during MCP handshake). This keeps the `initialize`
//! response fast and avoids starting `hyperd` if the client never calls a tool.
//!
//! If the connection to `hyperd` is lost (crash, broken pipe, wire-protocol
//! desync), the server's `crate::server::HyperMcpServer::with_engine` wrapper
//! detects the [`crate::error::ErrorCode::ConnectionLost`] error, drops the
//! engine, and transparently re-creates it on the next call. This auto-reconnect
//! path covers both transport-level failures and the `"desynchronized"` state
//! surfaced by the `hyper-client` layer's bounded drain.
//!
//! # Workspace Modes
//!
//! - **Persistent** — caller supplies a path via `--workspace`; the `.hyper`
//!   file survives across sessions. Tables can be built up incrementally and
//!   exported to Tableau Desktop.
//! - **Ephemeral** — a temp directory is created per process; everything is
//!   discarded when the server exits. No configuration needed.
//!
//! # Sync Calls in an Async Server
//!
//! All `Engine` methods are synchronous (blocking). The MCP server runs on a
//! tokio runtime, but `hyperd` communication goes through the `hyperdb-api` crate's
//! blocking `Connection` API. The `rmcp` framework spawns tool handlers on its
//! own task pool, so blocking calls do not starve the async event loop. A future
//! optimization could use `spawn_blocking` or an async connection API, but the
//! current approach is correct and simple.
