//! Crash-simulation tests for `save_sidecars` / `load_sidecars` atomicity
//! (issue #617).
//!
//! `save_sidecars` writes three sidecar files sequentially
//! (`native_mappings.bin`, `native_vectors.bin`, `native_meta.bin`). Each
//! individual file uses atomic write-tmp-fsync-rename, but the 3-file
//! sequence itself is not atomic. A crash between two renames leaves
//! the on-disk state inconsistent, which can silently corrupt search or
//! panic at load time.
//!
//! To detect a crashed save we stamp every sidecar with a monotonic
//! `generation: u64`. `meta` (written last) is the authoritative commit
//! point. Any file with a stale generation is proof of an incomplete
//! prior save, and `load_sidecars` must reject the database with
//! `io::ErrorKind::InvalidData` rather than silently return a torn state.
//!
//! These tests simulate the crashed states by manually rewriting the
//! sidecar files with mismatched generations, no real crash is needed.
//! Backward-compat cases (legacy DBs without the generation counter)
//! must keep loading unchanged.
//!
//! NOTE: this module is an internal `#[cfg(test)]` sibling of
//! [`super::persistence`], which means every `pub(crate)` helper in
//! `persistence.rs` is reachable from here.
