1//! [`WalRecorder`] — adapter from `MutationRecorder` to the durable
2//! [`Wal`].
3//!
4//! Lifecycle, viewed from `lora-database::Database::execute_with_params`:
5//!
6//! 1. Acquire the store write lock.
7//! 2. `recorder.arm()` — marks the recorder as inside-a-query but
8//! appends nothing to the WAL yet. A pure read query that fires
9//! no `MutationEvent` therefore touches the WAL zero times.
10//! 3. Run analyze + compile + execute. The executor mutates the
11//! in-memory store, which fires `MutationRecorder::record` for each
12//! primitive mutation. The adapter buffers those events in memory.
13//! 4. On Ok: `recorder.commit()` drains the buffered events and hands
14//! them to [`Wal::commit_tx`], which writes `TxBegin` +
15//! `MutationBatch` + `TxCommit` in one critical section and applies
16//! the configured single-thread flush policy. A read-only query returns
17//! `WroteCommit::No` and the WAL never wakes up.
18//! 5. On Err / panic: `recorder.abort()` discards the buffered events.
19//! Because `commit_tx` writes the begin/batch/commit triple
20//! atomically, an aborted query has *no* on-disk presence — there
21//! is no `TxBegin` to pair with a later `TxAbort`, so the WAL stays
22//! consistent without an explicit abort marker.
23//! 6. Before returning, the host inspects `recorder.poisoned()` once.
24//! If `Some`, the query fails loudly with a durability error so
25//! the caller can act on it; the WAL is now refusing further
26//! appends until the operator restarts the database, which
27//! recovers from the last consistent snapshot + WAL.
28//!
29//! ### Hot-path cost
30//!
31//! `record` is called once per primitive mutation. It takes only the
32//! recorder mutex and pushes the event into a query-local buffer; the
33//! WAL mutex, framing, checksum, and segment append happen once at
34//! commit time inside `Wal::commit_tx`.
35//!
36//! ### When `record` fires after a failed in-memory mutation
37//!
38//! `InMemoryGraph::emit` only calls the recorder *after* the mutation
39//! has been committed to the in-memory state. If the subsequent WAL
40//! append fails, the live in-memory store is briefly ahead of disk:
41//! the next query sees the partial state, but the next query also
42//! observes `poisoned() = Some(_)` and is rejected. Recovery from a
43//! snapshot + WAL after operator restart will not include the failed
44//! mutation, so durable state stays consistent. The cost is "the live
45//! process is wrong until the next restart"; the gain is that the
46//! storage trait does not need to learn about durability.
