//! **The CDC seam** — one change-data-capture vocabulary, three backends, and
//! the Arrow row shape a UI renders change-by-change.
//!
//! # Why a seam at all
//!
//! knut can learn "what changed in this table since snapshot N" three different
//! ways, and which one is *available* is a property of the server it is talking
//! to, not of anything an operator types into a YAML file:
//!
//! | backend | how | needs |
//! |---|---|---|
//! | [`CdcKind::SparkNative`] | Spark 4.2's `… CHANGES FROM VERSION a TO VERSION b` | a Spark **4.2+** Connect server **and** a DSv2 connector implementing `Changelog` |
//! | [`CdcKind::IcebergChangelogView`] | Iceberg's `system.create_changelog_view` procedure | any Spark with the Iceberg runtime loaded (4.0 / 4.1 / …) |
//! | [`CdcKind::SkadeDelta`] | `skade::Table::read_changelog` — manifest-level delta, pure Rust | no Spark at all |
//!
//! ## What Spark 4.2 actually added (and what it does not give us *yet*)
//!
//! Spark 4.2.0 (GA 2026-07-14) landed first-class CDC as SPARK-55668: a SQL
//! `CHANGES` clause, a DSv2 connector interface
//! `org.apache.spark.sql.connector.catalog.Changelog` (`@since 4.2.0`), and
//! DataFrame / PySpark / **Spark Connect** bindings (SPARK-55949). The grammar,
//! from Spark's own `SqlBaseParser.g4` at tag `v4.2.0`:
//!
//! ```text
//! changesClause
//!   : CHANGES FROM (SYSTEM_VERSION | VERSION) startingVersion (INCLUSIVE | EXCLUSIVE)?
//!       (TO (SYSTEM_VERSION | VERSION) endingVersion (INCLUSIVE | EXCLUSIVE)?)?
//!   | CHANGES FROM (SYSTEM_TIME | TIMESTAMP) startingTimestamp (INCLUSIVE | EXCLUSIVE)?
//!       (TO (SYSTEM_TIME | TIMESTAMP) endingTimestamp (INCLUSIVE | EXCLUSIVE)?)?
//!   ;
//! ```
//!
//! Its changelog rows carry `_change_type` (`insert` / `delete` /
//! `update_preimage` / `update_postimage` — **lower case**), `_commit_version`
//! and `_commit_timestamp`.
//!
//! **But**: the `CHANGES` clause only resolves for a table whose connector
//! implements `Changelog`. Apache Iceberg does not — as of 2026-07-22 Iceberg
//! 1.11.0 publishes `iceberg-spark-runtime-{3.4,3.5,4.0,4.1}` and **no 4.2
//! runtime at all** (apache/iceberg#14984 "Spark: Add support for 4.2.0" is
//! still open; #16751 was closed unmerged), and no Iceberg source references
//! `org.apache.spark.sql.connector.catalog.Changelog`. So on a *4.2 server
//! holding Iceberg tables* the native path is present in the engine and
//! unreachable for our data. That is not a reason to pretend: it is exactly why
//! [`detect`] **probes** instead of trusting the version string, and why a
//! failed probe records [`CdcCapability::fell_back`] rather than silently
//! choosing the other path.
//!
//! ## The renderable row
//!
//! Every backend is normalised onto ONE Arrow shape — [`change_row_schema`]:
//!
//! ```text
//! op       : Utf8                          non-null   insert | delete | update_before | update_after | update
//! before   : Struct<data columns, nullable> nullable  the pre-image  (null for an insert)
//! after    : Struct<data columns, nullable> nullable  the post-image (null for a delete)
//! snapshot : Int64                          nullable  Iceberg snapshot id / Spark _commit_version
//! ts       : Timestamp(Microsecond, UTC)    nullable  commit timestamp
//! ```
//!
//! One Arrow row per change event, delivered batch-by-batch over a
//! [`ChangeStream`] so a UI pane can paint changes as they arrive instead of
//! blocking on a whole scan.
