-/**
- * @file Where downloaded pieces live once memory cannot hold them.
- *
- * The second tier of the piece store, and — unlike what it replaces — an owner
- * of what it takes: it knows how many bytes it holds, it is told how many it
- * may hold, and when it is over that it gives disk back.
- *
- * WHAT IT REPLACED, because the difference is the whole of the design. `DiskTier`
- * wrote every piece into ONE sparse file at `index * chunkLength` and answered
- * `forget(index)` by dropping the number from a set. The bytes stayed: a sparse
- * file's blocks are returned only by hole punching, which Node exposes no
- * binding for, so nothing this process could do returned a single block before
- * the whole file was removed. Measured 2026-08-31: a store holding 312-424 MB
- * of pieces had written **14 400 MB** to that file in fifty minutes, and free
- * space on the host fell by every megabyte of it until the session ended. On a
- * Home Assistant install with a 32 GB card that is the card.
- *
- * A PIECE IS A FILE, and that is what makes the ceiling real. Removing a file
- * returns exactly its blocks, needs no binding this runtime lacks, and makes
- * the unit of eviction the same as the unit of storage — so the order pieces
- * leave in is the order we choose rather than the order they happen to lie in.
- * The read that the single file was chosen for is unaffected: it is still one
- * `read` into a buffer the caller already owns, which is what the 22.08 ms →
- * 7.63 ms measurement on the field host was about. What it adds is an `open`
- * per read, tens of microseconds against those milliseconds.
- *
- * Nothing here decides what the allowance should be. It is told, because the
- * disk is one and this store is not its only user — the segments an encoder
- * produces are on it too — and a ceiling that one of two users sets for itself
- * is not a ceiling.
