wal.rs

//! Core WAL file I/O layer.
//!
//! Provides [`WalFile`], a VFS-backed abstraction over the SQLite WAL file format.
//! Handles WAL creation, frame append with rolling checksum chain, frame reads,
//! validation, and reset for checkpoint.
//!
//! The on-disk layout is:
//! ```text
//! [WAL Header: 32 bytes]
//! [Frame 0: 24-byte header + page_size bytes]
//! [Frame 1: 24-byte header + page_size bytes]
//! ...
//! [Frame N: 24-byte header + page_size bytes]
//! ```
