//! The engine tying the write and read paths together.
//!
//! Sub-ms writes: [`Table::put`] appends to the WAL **without fsyncing**, upserts
//! the skip-list memtable, and updates the in-memory HOT index + secondary
//! indexes. A batch-driven [`Table::commit`] does the group `fsync` and bumps the
//! epoch. [`Table::flush`] commits, drains the memtable into an immutable sorted
//! run, and rotates the WAL. Reads merge versions across the live memtable and
//! all sorted runs ([`Table::get`], [`Table::visible_rows`]).
