SlateDB storage engine — implementation plan
============================================

.. warning:: This is not authoritative documentation.  It describes a
   plan of work that is not yet implemented and will change as it lands.
   Once the work is complete these documents should be removed; the
   finished system is described by the *SlateDB storage engine* spec,
   the plugin's user documentation, and the repos themselves.

Tactical companion to the :doc:`SlateDB storage engine spec
<../../slatedb-engine>`.  The spec covers the design and the why; these
are the task handoffs — each self-contained, each landing green, with
commit boundaries and verification requirements stated per task.

Critical chain: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5, then 6; task 7 floats after 5.
Tasks 1–4 deliver a working single-index engine under autocommit;
task 5 delivers multi-statement transactions with honest semantics;
task 6 adds secondary and unique indexes; task 7 is DROP reclamation
and operational polish.
