//! `WriterActor`, `WriteCommand`, `WriteHandle` — single-writer actor on a
//! dedicated OS thread. See ADR-0003 §"Trait shapes" and §"Operational
//! invariants".
//!
//! ## Why a dedicated OS thread (not a tokio task)
//!
//! `rusqlite::Connection::execute` blocks the current thread. If the actor
//! ran on a tokio worker, every write would block one worker for the
//! duration of the SQL — under burst load the runtime would starve and
//! every other task (HTTP handlers, MCP handlers, the snapshot timer) would
//! stall. The dedicated thread isolates that blocking from the runtime.
//!
//! Inside `run()` we use `mpsc::Receiver::blocking_recv()`; from outside the
//! actor, `WriteHandle::send().await` is async, so callers don't block on
//! sends.
//!
//! ## Reply-before-drain (ADR-0003 §P8-E)
//!
//! `Remember` carries a oneshot reply channel. The reply is sent **after**
//! the SQL transaction commits and `hnsw.add` succeeds, but **before** the
//! `pending_index` row is drained. Callers see "Ok = durable AND searchable"
//! without waiting on cleanup. If the drain itself fails, the row replays
//! on next startup — same end state.
//!
//! ## What's stubbed in commit 1.2
//!
//! `handle_forget`, `handle_consolidate`, `handle_reembed`,
//! `handle_save_snapshot` return `Error::Other("not yet implemented (commit
//! 1.x)")`. They're plumbed through the dispatch so callers can wire the
//! API today; the bodies fill in as the relevant commits land.
