jordan 3cfaa1e1d3 feat: Complete Phase 1 (The Spine) - storage foundation
Phase 1 delivers the complete durability and storage layer:

- WAL with crash recovery: Append-only journal with BLAKE3 checksums,
  fsync guarantees, and proper seek-to-EOF on reopen
- Storage engine: sled-backed KVStore with scan_prefix for range queries
- Content-addressed storage: H:{hash}, V:{hash}, E:{hash} key patterns
- Ingestor: Background worker tailing WAL, writing to KV with 8-byte
  aligned record headers for rkyv zero-copy deserialization
- Comprehensive tests: 31 tests covering crash recovery, round-trips,
  and multi-cycle durability

New crates: stemedb-wal, stemedb-storage, stemedb-ingest

AUDIT (2026-01-31)

Original Concern

Error handling audit flagged expect()/unwrap() in:

  • crates/stemedb-core/src/lib.rs (9 occurrences)
  • crates/stemedb-storage/src/sled_backend.rs (5 occurrences)
  • crates/stemedb-wal/src/durability.rs (23 occurrences)
  • crates/stemedb-wal/src/format.rs (5 occurrences)

Analysis

All 42 occurrences are in #[cfg(test)] blocks.

The clippy.toml correctly configures:

allow-unwrap-in-tests = true
allow-expect-in-tests = true
allow-panic-in-tests = true

Production code is clean. No actual error handling issue.

Real Issue Found

Cargo.toml workspace lints are at warn level:

[workspace.lints.clippy]
unwrap_used = "warn"
expect_used = "warn"
panic = "warn"

This means:

  1. CI currently passes even with violations
  2. New production code could introduce expect()/unwrap()
  3. Protection will drift

Solution

Upgrade to deny to fail CI on violations. The clippy.toml test exceptions will still apply.


FIX

  • Cargo.toml - upgraded lints from warn to deny (2026-01-31)
    • unwrap_used = "deny"
    • expect_used = "deny"
    • panic = "deny"

VERIFY

  • cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings - PASSED
  • cargo test --workspace - PASSED (11 tests)

ENFORCE (2026-01-31)

  • CLAUDE.md - enhanced "No Unwrap" rule to mention enforcement mechanism

DOCUMENT (2026-01-31)

  • .claude/guides/local/quality-checks.md - added "Enforced Lints" section explaining:
    • Which lints are at deny level
    • Why tests are exempt
    • How to add new enforced lints

COMPLETE

All phases executed successfully.
