1//! `Database`: the engine + its file + the maintenance policy behind
2//! one lock (§3).
3//!
4//! The orchestration model in one paragraph: a `Database` handle is
5//! `Clone + Send + Sync` (an `Arc` around an `RwLock`-guarded engine), so
6//! any number of threads or agents in one process share one file by
7//! cloning the handle — the read verbs (`recall`/`get`/`stats`/…) run
8//! concurrently under a shared guard, the write verbs serialize under an
9//! exclusive one; at microsecond engine calls neither is a bottleneck. A
10//! second *process* (or a second `Database` on the same path) is refused
11//! with [`HostError::Locked`] by the file lock. Different files are fully
12//! independent — open as many `Database`s as you have files.
13//!
14//! Everything expensive and external — computing embeddings over HTTP —
15//! happens **before** the lock is taken: while one agent waits for its
16//! embedding provider, others keep reading and writing.
17//!
18//! (Under the `counters` perf-gate feature the engine's instrumentation
19//! `Cell`s are not `Sync`, so the lock falls back to a `Mutex` and reads
20//! serialize — a single-threaded measurement build; the public API is
21//! unchanged. See `StateLock`.)
22//!
23//! ## Overlay write path
24//!
25//! Opening a database does **not** copy its snapshot into RAM. `open`
26//! memory-maps the snapshot file and the engine *borrows* the mapped pages
27//! (an overlay over the base), replaying the journal into a small owned
28//! overlay; a mutation lands its appends in an owned tail and copies only
29//! the pages it rewrites (per-page copy-on-write in `plugmem-arena`). So a
30//! multi-gigabyte database is opened and written to while resident only in
31//! the pages it actually touches — the SQLite model. A snapshot
32//! materializes the base + overlay into a fresh file and **re-maps** it, so
33//! the overlay collapses and a long write session stays bounded. A brand-new
34//! database has no file to map yet: it opens *owned* and empty, and switches
35//! to the mapped overlay at its first snapshot.
