wal.rs

//! Append-only, group-commit, torn-write-safe WAL.
//!
//! Sub-ms writes come from the fact that [`Wal::append`] only copies bytes into
//! the OS file buffer (and an in-process [`BufWriter`]); it does **not** fsync.
//! A timer- or threshold-driven [`Wal::sync`] does the `flush() + sync_all()`
//! and bumps the epoch.
