18//! Application-Level Page Cache with Clock-Pro (Recommendation 8)
19//!
20//! ## Problem
21//!
22//! SQLite maintains a sophisticated page cache with:
23//! - LRU-K eviction policy
24//! - Dirty page tracking
25//! - Read-ahead for sequential scans
26//!
27//! SochDB currently relies on OS page cache (mmap) which:
28//! - Has no application-level control
29//! - Cannot prioritize hot pages
30//! - Has 4KB granularity (vs optimal 64KB for SSTable blocks)
31//!
32//! ## Solution
33//!
34//! Clock-Pro algorithm (adaptive replacement cache):
35//!
36//! ```text
37//! ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
38//! │                    Clock-Pro Cache                       │
39//! ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
40//! │  Hot Ring (frequently accessed)                         │
41//! │    ↻ Clock hand for hot pages                           │
42//! ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
43//! │  Cold Ring (recently accessed once)                      │
44//! │    ↻ Clock hand for cold pages                          │
45//! ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
46//! │  Test Ring (ghost entries for adaptive sizing)          │
47//! │    Tracks recently evicted to detect reuse              │
48//! └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
49//! ```
50//!
51//! ## Performance Analysis
52//!
53//! Clock-Pro complexity:
54//! - Insert: O(1)
55//! - Lookup: O(1)
56//! - Eviction: O(1) amortized
57//!
58//! Hit rate improvement over LRU:
59//! - LRU: 90% hit rate (typical)
60//! - Clock-Pro: 95-99% hit rate (adaptive)
61//!
62//! I/O reduction:
63//! ```text
64//! With 1GB cache, 100GB dataset, 1% access skew:
65//! LRU: 10% miss × 100M accesses = 10M I/O ops
66//! Clock-Pro: 2% miss × 100M accesses = 2M I/O ops (5x reduction)
67//! ```

297/// ## Algorithm Overview
298///
299/// 1. **Cold pages**: Recently accessed once. These may be promoted
300///    to hot if accessed again before eviction (reuse distance < test size).
301///
302/// 2. **Hot pages**: Frequently accessed. Protected from eviction
303///    until demoted to cold.
304///
305/// 3. **Test pages**: Ghost entries tracking recently evicted cold pages.
306///    If a test page is accessed, it indicates we should increase hot space.
307///
308/// ## Adaptive Sizing
309///
310/// The hot/cold ratio adjusts based on access patterns:
311/// - Access to test page → increase hot space (working set growing)
312/// - Cold page eviction without test hit → decrease hot space
