//! Shared pager orchestration over an exclusively owned VFS file.
//!
//! Native and browser use the same cache, allocation fences, freelist, DWB,
//! superblock publication and checkpoint algorithms. Opening/locking files,
//! scheduling, WAL implementation and encryption remain host policy.
//! The owner explicitly calls `sync` before teardown; this low-level pager
//! does not hide I/O failures in a destructor. It is not a transaction API.
