- docs/stories/databasev2/, numbered from 1. Six PENDING database iterations
moved from the language track and renumbered, keeping the old id in
`was_language_iteration:` so a search for "iteration 32" still finds it:
32 -> 3 WAL checkpoint, 23 -> 4 io_uring commit, 33 -> 7 single-file store,
27 -> 8 query grammar, 20 -> 9 cross-program, 21 -> 10 keypair auth.
Done work (9, 9b, 22) stays as v1 history; language 18 left whole
- the problem, read off the engine not guessed: rows are malloc'd slabs with
addresses stable forever, NO eviction/spill/paging anywhere in database/src,
the WAL never checkpoints so boot replays all history, and durability is one
process-global WO_DATA so no table can say it matters more than another.
An allocation failure IS a clean catchable WO_T_OOM — but swap thrash
arrives first and carries no error signal at all, which is the real hazard
- four new iterations:
1 measure the ceiling FIRST (curve not cliff; the three exits; kill -9 at
exhaustion) — every later default should follow from a number
2 `@table(mode: ram | durable | cold)` — the grammar ask. Small surface
(Ast.table_cfg gains a key, the parser already rejects unknown args), big
semantics: `durable` defaults so nothing changes silently, and the
compiler refuses a durable row holding a `ref` into a ram table
5 bounded tables + refuse/evict/back-pressure, shedding BEFORE the OS acts
6 cold tiering — mostly forks, incl. whether the language surfaces the
fault cost and whether @unique on cold is refused outright. A paged
B-tree stays rejected: if tiering needs one, reject tiering
- 39 links repointed, link TEXT renumbered to track-local ids; arc gains one
pointer row replacing the six moved; board + board-views cover three tracks
- linkcheck 0 broken / 0 anchors; no code blocks in any story
