expire.rs

//! Active TTL reaper — Redis's `activeExpireCycle`, adapted to the
//! thread-per-core / single-shard `Store`.
//!
//! Lazy expiry (in `live_entry[_mut]`) still handles the common case where
//! the next access to a TTL'd key removes it. The active reaper exists for
//! the harder case: a key has TTL but is never touched again, so without an
//! explicit sweep it would sit in the map until the next FLUSH or eviction.
//!
//! Entry point: [`Store::tick_expire`]. The shard runtime calls it at the
//! configured `[expiry].hz` cadence (default 10 Hz / every 100 ms);
//! embedded users without a runtime call it themselves from whatever event
//! loop they have (mandatory for WASM, which has no threads).
