// 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 speck SQLitePager { author: "Engineering (agent-engineering) " source: architecture_review ref
