//! Query path instrumentation (OPTIMIZATIONS.md Priority 0 / 16).
//!
//! MongrelDB has many physical paths a query can take: an O(1) metadata count,
//! a zero-copy Arrow IPC shadow, a single-run lazy page cursor, a multi-run
//! k-way merge cursor, an index-pushdown columnar gather, or a full row
//! materialization. Correctness tests verify *results* but never reveal *which*
//! path ran, so performance regressions are currently invisible until a
//! benchmark accidentally trips one.
//!
//! [`QueryTrace`] makes those path decisions observable. It is a lightweight,
//! opt-in record filled at decision points via a thread-local scope collector.
//! The hot path (no capture active) pays only a single TLS load per record site
//! and then returns immediately — there is no allocation, no lock, and no
//! signature change to the hundreds of internal functions that serve queries.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! The public `_traced` methods on [`crate::engine::Table`] (and
//! `MongrelSession::run_sql_traced` in the query crate) wrap the corresponding
//! query in [`QueryTrace::capture`] and return the result alongside the trace:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! # use mongreldb_core::*;
//! # let mut db: Table = unimplemented!();
//! # let snap = db.snapshot();
//! # let conditions = &[];
//! # let proj = &[];
//! let (cols, trace) = db.query_columns_native_traced(conditions, Some(proj), snap).unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(trace.scan_mode, trace::ScanMode::NativePushdown);
//! assert_eq!(trace.index_rebuild, trace::IndexRebuild::AlreadyComplete);
//! ```
//!
//! ## Extensibility
//!
//! New fields can be added to [`QueryTrace`] freely — it is `#[derive(Default)]`,
//! so existing callers and tests continue to compile. New recording sites are a
//! single [`QueryTrace::record`] call at the decision point; no plumbing is
//! required because the thread-local stack is the transport.
