tidaldb/tidal-server/src/cluster.rs
jx12n 3bcfb3c576 feat: Bazel build, crate docs/ai-lookup, docker images, and engine hardening
- Add BUILD.bazel across tidal, tidal-net, tidal-server, tidalctl for bzlmod build
- Add tidal/ crate docs (README, CHANGELOG, CONTRIBUTING, AGENTS, CLAUDE, API, ARCHITECTURE) and ai-lookup reference
- Add docker standalone/cluster/deploy images, compose, and prometheus config
- Harden WAL (batch format, writer, dedup, diagnostics), text syncer/collectors, and vector registry
- Expand tidalctl CLI and tests; restructure WAL/visibility integration test suites
- Refine tidal-net transport/client/server and tidal-server cluster/scatter-gather

//! Cluster mode: multi-region tidalDB behind a single HTTP surface.
//!
//! Wraps [`SimulatedCluster`] with region name ↔ [`RegionId`] mapping and
//! exposes cluster management HTTP routes matching the runbook.
//!
//! # Transport (m8p8)
//!
//! Each follower region is wired to a real [`GrpcTransport`] from `tidal-net`
//! (not in-process crossbeam channels): leader writes are encoded as WAL
//! segments and shipped to each follower over gRPC, where the follower's
//! segment-receiver thread applies them. The transport is a self-loop — the
//! follower's own gRPC server is both the ship target and the receive source —
//! so replication traverses a real gRPC/TCP hop (serialization, circuit
//! breaker, HTTP/2) on the loopback interface.
//!
//! All regions still run inside this single process; true multi-process /
//! multi-host deployment with process isolation is tracked separately (m8p10).
