This commit implements comprehensive production hardening across multiple
layers to prepare StemeDB for enterprise pilot deployments:
## API Layer
- Add rate limiting middleware with configurable limits per endpoint
- Enhance error handling with detailed context and proper HTTP status codes
- Add security hardening tests for input validation and boundary conditions
- Create store_helpers module for defensive storage access patterns
## Storage & WAL
- Optimize group commit batching for higher throughput
- Add defensive error handling in hybrid backend with proper fallbacks
- Enhance WAL journal durability guarantees with fsync validation
- Improve index store query performance with better caching
## Operations & Deployment
- Add comprehensive operations documentation (deployment, monitoring, DR)
- Create systemd units for backup, WAL archival, and verification
- Add monitoring configs (Prometheus alerts, metrics exporters)
- Implement backup/restore scripts with verification and S3 archival
- Add DR drill automation and runbook procedures
- Create load balancer configs (nginx, envoy) with health checks
## Documentation
- Update CLAUDE.md with operations and troubleshooting guides
- Expand roadmap with production readiness milestones
- Add pilot success criteria and deployment reference architecture
- Document TLS setup, monitoring integration, and incident response
## Configuration
- Add .env.example with all required environment variables
- Document resource sizing for different deployment scales
- Add configuration examples for various deployment topologies
This positions StemeDB for successful enterprise pilots with proper
operational discipline, monitoring, backup/DR, and security hardening.

Add CRC32C checksums to WAL record format (v2), implement crash recovery
with automatic truncation of corrupt records, add feature-gated group commit
buffer for batched fsync under concurrent load, and implement log rotation
via segment files with global offset addressing.
Key changes:
- Record format v2: [len:u32][crc32c:u32][blake3:32][payload:N]
- recover_file() scans and truncates corrupt tail records
- GroupCommitBuffer batches fsync via MPSC channel (tokio feature gate)
- SegmentManager with binary search resolution and cursor-based cleanup
- Journal::read() auto-refreshes segments on miss for writer/reader split
- Split recovery.rs and key_codec.rs into directory modules for 500-line max
