- A checkpoint larger than one record (16 MiB) is written as CHKPT_BEGIN
[size u64, CRC-32], CHKPT_DATA chunks and CHKPT_END. Replay assembles it
and applies it only when complete with the size and CRC matching; an
unfinished one is a torn tail (valid_bytes stops before it). Buffers
over 16 MiB could not be checkpointed before: a lost record left their
journal behind for good, and they were never compacted. Records are
written as segments straight from the snapshot. Header version 2;
version 1 journals are still read.
- Checkpoint thresholds scale with the buffer size (edits of half its
size; the timer only after a sixteenth; compaction at twice its size;
gap retries spaced by size), and a checkpoint that would compact is
written straight into the compacted journal instead of being appended
and then copied.
- The recovery prompt keeps the content it replayed for its preview and
installs it on 'y', instead of replaying the journal a second time.
- A base file over 64 MiB gets its CRC from the writer thread before it
creates the journal (it had none, so touching such a file made its
journal unusable for recovery).
- kte_tests takes optional name substrings to run a subset of tests.
