//! Write-Ahead Log — append-only log for crash recovery.
//!
//! WAL entry format on disk:
//! ```text
//! [length: u32][lsn: u64][type: u8][page_id: u64][compressed_data: ...][crc32: u32]
//! ```
//!
//! - `length` — byte count of the payload (lsn + type + page_id + compressed_data).
//! - `compressed_data` — the data portion compressed with LZ4.
//! - `crc32` — checksum over the entire payload.
