//! Transaction-Aware WAL for ACID Transactions
//!
//! This WAL implementation provides ACID transaction support:
//! - Atomicity: All writes in a transaction are logged together
//! - Consistency: Schema validation before commit
//! - Isolation: Transaction IDs for MVCC
//! - Durability: fsync after commit
//!
//! ## WAL Record Types
//!
//! - Data: Key-value write
//! - TxnBegin: Start of transaction
//! - TxnCommit: Commit point (durability guarantee)
//! - TxnAbort: Transaction rollback
//! - Checkpoint: Snapshot marker for recovery
//! - SchemaChange: DDL operations
//!
//! ## Record Format (Fixed Layout for Torn Write Detection)
//!
//! ```text
//! ┌───────────┬──────────┬─────────┬───────────┬─────────┬───────────┬─────────┬─────────┬──────────┐
//! │ Length(4) │ Type(1)  │ TxnId(8)│ Timestamp │ KeyLen  │ ValueLen  │ Key(*)  │ Value(*)│ CRC32(4) │
//! │           │          │         │   (8)     │  (4)    │   (4)     │         │         │          │
//! └───────────┴──────────┴─────────┴───────────┴─────────┴───────────┴─────────┴─────────┴──────────┘
//! ```
//!
//! ## Crash Recovery Guarantees
//!
//! 1. **Torn Write Detection**: Length prefix + CRC32 checksum detects partial writes
//! 2. **Atomic Commit**: Commit record with fsync ensures durability
//! 3. **Uncommitted Rollback**: Transactions without commit record are discarded
//! 4. **Checkpoint Safety**: Checkpoint marker allows safe WAL truncation

// At-rest encryption framing (Task 3B)
// =============================================================================
//
// When the WAL's `EncryptionEngine` is enabled, each record is written as an
// encrypted frame instead of the plaintext frame above:
//
// ```text
//   plaintext frame:  [content_len:u32][type|txn|ts|klen|vlen|key|val|crc32]
//   encrypted frame:  [outer_len:u32  ][ver|nonce(12)|ciphertext+tag(16)]
// ```
//
// `outer_len` is the length of the AEAD envelope (ciphertext.len()); the inner
// plaintext that the envelope protects is the record BODY — exactly the bytes
// after `content_len` in the plaintext frame (`type..crc32`). On decrypt the
// body is parsed by [`TxnWalEntry::parse_body`], reusing the same field layout +
// CRC check as the plaintext path.
//
// The per-record AAD binds {format_version, db_uuid, dek_epoch, file-relative
// record ordinal} so a record cannot be reordered, duplicated, spliced from
// another DB, or read under a downgraded format without failing authentication.
// The reader reconstructs the identical AAD from its own trusted state (the
// keyring's db_uuid/epoch and a 0-based counter of records read from this file),
// NEVER from the attacker-controllable on-disk bytes.

/// Encode a record BODY (`type|txn|ts|klen|vlen|key|val|crc32`) — the bytes the
/// AEAD envelope protects, identical to `to_bytes()` minus the length prefix.
/// Used by the encrypted write paths to materialize a record before sealing it.
