Standalone OxGraph-native database engine above the topology substrate.
Documentation
//! Single-writer cross-process lock for an OXGDB database directory.
//!
//! The lock is an exclusively-created sentinel file in the database directory.
//! At most one writer holds it at a time; readers never touch it (an open
//! reader keeps a consistent view across a writer's atomic store rename). The
//! guard removes the sentinel on drop, so a committed or rolled-back writer
//! releases the lock automatically.
