//! DML execution: INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE via SQL AST
//!
//! Implements `execute_insert`, `execute_update`, and `execute_delete` on
//! `RedDBRuntime`.  Each method translates the parsed AST into entity-level
//! operations through the existing `RuntimeEntityPort` trait so that all
//! cross-cutting concerns (WAL, indexing, replication) are automatically
//! applied.
