// SQLite Pager State Machine Specification (speckl#35)
//
// Models the pager storage engine's state machine: page cache, transactions,
// journal files, and crash recovery. Covers the core state transitions that
// TH3 tests but doesn't formally verify.
//
// Based on: docs/db-sqlite-reference.md Section 1
// Scope: Pager state machine, journal modes, lock escalation, error recovery
// Does NOT cover: WAL mode (separate spec), VDBE, B-Tree internal structure
