24/// Outcome of a device support read() call.

28/// Result of a device support `read()` call.
29///
30/// # `ok()` vs `computed()`
31///
32/// This mirrors the C EPICS `read_ai()` return convention:
33///
34/// - **`ok()`** (C return 0): Device support wrote to RVAL. The record's
35///   `process()` will run its built-in conversion (e.g., ai applies
36///   `ROFF → ASLO/AOFF → LINR/ESLO/EOFF → smoothing` to produce VAL
37///   from RVAL).
38///
39/// - **`computed()`** (C return 2): Device support wrote to VAL directly.
40///   The record's `process()` will **skip** its conversion and use the
41///   VAL as-is. Use this when the device support provides engineering
42///   units directly (e.g., soft channel, asyn, custom drivers that
43///   call `record.put_field("VAL", ...)`).
44///
45/// **Common mistake:** returning `ok()` when VAL is set directly causes
46/// the record's conversion to overwrite VAL with a value derived from
47/// RVAL (typically 0), making the read appear broken.

216/// 3. `init(record)` — driver `init_record` equivalent.

218/// On `init()` failure the record is flagged `INVALID` severity with
219/// a `SOFT` status and a diagnostic is logged — matching C
220/// `initDevSup`/`init_record` failure handling (the record is marked,
