//! Read-only follower of [`EdgeShard`](crate::EdgeShard).
//!
//! A leader process owns a read-write `EdgeShard` and writes to an on-disk directory. One or more
//! follower processes open the *same* directory as a [`ReadOnlyEdgeShard`] and serve reads. A
//! follower never writes: no WAL, no optimization, no segment creation. It refreshes by
//! [`refresh`](ReadOnlyEdgeShard::refresh)ing — rescanning the `segments/` directory to pick up
//! segments the leader created/removed, and [`live_reload`](segment::segment::read_only::ReadOnlySegment::live_reload)ing
//! the survivors to fold in the leader's flushed in-place appends and deletes.
//!
//! This mirrors the segment-level read-only design one level up: just as `ReadOnlySegment` is the
//! read-only counterpart of `Segment`, `ReadOnlyEdgeShard` is the read-only counterpart of
//! `EdgeShard`. Both expose a consistent [`EdgeReadView`](crate::EdgeReadView) and share its read
//! logic.
