//! Supervised background workers.
//!
//! Long-running detached workers (LSM compaction, GC, the event-driven flusher,
//! dirty-tracking aggregation, …) historically ran as a bare
//! [`std::thread::spawn`] containing a `loop { … }`. If any iteration panicked —
//! a poisoned lock, an arithmetic overflow in debug, an `unwrap()` on a
//! transient error — the thread unwound and **died silently**. Compaction would
//! stop, GC would stop, and the only symptom would be slowly growing disk usage
//! or unbounded version chains, with no signal that anything was wrong.
//!
//! [`Supervisor`] wraps a worker's per-iteration body in
//! [`std::panic::catch_unwind`] so a panic in one iteration is *contained*:
//! the panic is counted, the worker is marked unhealthy, a bounded backoff is
//! applied, and the loop is **restarted** rather than torn down. Callers can
//! observe liveness via [`WorkerHealth`].
//!
//! # Contract
//!
//! - The worker body is a closure returning [`WorkerStep`]. Returning
//!   [`WorkerStep::Continue`] runs another iteration; [`WorkerStep::Stop`] ends
//!   the worker cleanly.
//! - Shutdown is cooperative: callers flip the shared `running` flag (or return
//!   [`WorkerStep::Stop`] from the body) and then [`SupervisedWorker::join`].
//! - Backoff after a panic grows geometrically from `base_backoff` up to
//!   `max_backoff` and resets to zero after any successful (non-panicking)
//!   iteration. This prevents a tight panic loop from pinning a core.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```ignore
//! let running = Arc::new(AtomicBool::new(true));
//! let worker = Supervisor::new("compaction")
//!     .spawn(running.clone(), move || {
//!         do_one_compaction_pass();
//!         WorkerStep::Continue
//!     });
//! // … later …
//! running.store(false, Ordering::SeqCst);
//! worker.join();
//! assert!(worker.health().panics() == 0);
//! ```
