//! `sqlite-core` — native, read-only, panic-free `SQLite` file-format reader.
//!
//! Parses the 100-byte file header (magic + page size), walks table b-trees
//! (interior + leaf) yielding rows as typed [`Value`]s, reassembles
//! overflow-page chains for large payloads, walks the freelist
//! ([`Database::freelist_pages`]), and applies a read-only `-wal` overlay
//! ([`Database::open_with_wal`]) — all bounds-checked and panic-free on crafted
//! input. [`Database::carve_cells`] recognizes record-shaped cells in
//! free/unallocated space for the analyzer's deleted-record recovery. The bespoke
//! [`WalTimeline`] ([`Database::wal_timeline`]) models a `-wal` as a salt-bounded
//! segment of materializable [`CommitSnapshot`]s for "carve all snapshots".
//!
//! Format constants are consumed from [`forensicnomicon::sqlite`] (the KNOWLEDGE
//! leaf) where exposed; a few not-yet-promoted offsets (reserved-space 20,
//! in-header DB-size 28, freelist-count 36) are held locally and flagged for
//! promotion. Still out of scope: index b-trees, `WITHOUT ROWID` tables,
//! UTF-16 text, and WAL frame-checksum verification.
