Phase 1 default state had two data-loss paths in WAL recovery.
C2: resolveRecoverySegmentID fell back to CURRENT when MANIFEST=0.
Since segment_manager writes CURRENT on every segment create/rotate,
the first recovery in Phase 1 (MANIFEST always 0 without flush) would
start from the active segment, skipping earlier unflushed segments.
C3: Recover called manifest.Save after every recovery, advancing
recoverySegmentID past segments that were still the only durable copy
of their data (no SSTable flush yet). Next restart would filter those
segments out and permanently lose the data.
Per design §3.2 line 280, recovery must not update MANIFEST; per line
604-06, CURRENT must not be used as recovery start. Both fixes are
required together — fixing C3 alone leaves C2's data-loss window open.
Changes:
- wal/recover.go: remove manifest.Save calls on both success and
tail-repair paths; remove CURRENT fallback in resolveRecoverySegmentID.
RecoveryResult.NextSegmentID is now in-memory only (consumed by DB.Open
to seed the new WalWriter, but never persisted to MANIFEST).
- wal/recover_test.go: rewrite TestRecoverUpdatesManifest as
TestRecoverDoesNotUpdateManifest; add TestRecoverPreservesExistingManifest,
TestRecoverIdempotentClean, TestRecoverIdempotentAfterTruncation,
TestRecoverIgnoresCurrentFallback.
- db_test.go: add TestOpenThreeTimesKeepsData (three opens to catch C3's
second-restart data loss; single-segment to avoid unrelated C8 bug
where segment_manager passes byte offset as startSequence).
Verified: each new test fails on pre-fix code and passes after the fix.
Full suite green including -race.
