feat: migrate ledger index to global Fjall database - #71
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR replaces the ledger’s LMDB index with a shared Fjall database and per-superblock keyspaces. It adds Fjall readers, writers, codecs, iterators, atomic persistence, and corruption handling. Ledger appending now supports buffered and synchronized durability. Superblock retention removes metadata before asynchronous keyspace and directory cleanup. Heed transaction integration is removed from nucleus and updated in accountsdb and ledger readers. Tests cover index behavior, crash recovery, retention, and cleanup completion. Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to High merge risk: the new ledger persistence flow can advertise unsynchronized data as durable, complete shutdown without reliably persisting pending state or reporting sync failures, and leave retired superblock data unreclaimed after a crash. These durability and recovery issues should be fixed before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

What changed
nucleusinto AccountsDB's index module.Closes #62
Impact
The index format is intentionally incompatible with existing LMDB ledgers and has no migration path. Blockstore and execution stream formats are unchanged. A single Fjall database shares its workers, cache, journal, and manifest across all retained superblocks. LZ4 remains disabled because the realistic fixture reduced closed-directory size by only 7.37%.
Reviewer notes
This is an alternative to #70's database-per-superblock design. The highest-risk invariants are namespace ordering, atomic block publication, lazy active-head recovery, and retention ordering: metadata is durable before asynchronous physical deletion, and every cleanup worker is joined before another truncation or shutdown completes.
