+/**
+ * @fileoverview The flush engine of the QuestDB adapter (ADR-029). It
+ * owns the hot path (`write`), every flush, the counters behind
+ * pressure and health, and the drain at shutdown. The factory in
+ * `index.js` builds the connected sender and the persist plans, then
+ * hands them to `createFlushEngine`, which returns the handle methods.
+ *
+ * Three modules carry the engine's hardest concerns, so this file
+ * stays the handle and nothing else. `flush-tracker.js` is the ledger
+ * of flushes in flight: exact in-flight counts and the deadline that
+ * abandons a flush that never settles. `delivery-gate.js` is hold and
+ * probe: it pauses delivery while the endpoint is unreachable and
+ * resumes it when a probe passes. `shutdown-drain.js` is the
+ * drain-then-close shutdown with its exact dropped count. Each carries
+ * its own header; this one says how the engine uses them.
+ *
+ * Composer owns every flush. The client's own trigger is off
+ * (`auto_flush=off`, set by the factory), so a batch leaves the process
+ * only when this module says so. Two triggers exist. A write that
+ * brings the buffer to `flushRows` starts a flush at once, inside
+ * `write()`, and does not wait for it. A timer starts a flush every
+ * `flushIntervalMs` when anything is buffered, so a slow stream still
+ * lands within about one interval. Only one engine flush runs at a
+ * time. While one is in flight, both triggers wait and rows collect in
+ * the buffer. An explicit `flush()`, the shutdown drain, and the
+ * mid-row recovery flush are the caller's own decisions and start
+ * regardless.
+ *
+ * Why the module counts exactly. The client copies the rows out of
+ * its buffer the moment a flush starts, before any network work. So
+ * `bufferedRows` counts rows waiting for the next flush, and the
+ * ledger's `inFlightRows` counts rows inside flushes that have not
+ * settled. Every flush start and settle passes through the tracker, so
+ * both numbers are exact, not estimates. A failed flush has lost its
+ * rows, because the copy is gone with it. The engine reports that loss
+ * once per flush: to `onDeliveryFailure` when the caller gave one, as
+ * `( err, { trigger, rowsLost, abandoned, probe } )`, otherwise as one
+ * classified `DELIVERY_FAILED` console line ending with the probe
+ * finding when a probe ran. The process keeps running either way. An
+ * unattended deployment must report a lost batch, not stop on it.
+ *
+ * The lines are bounded during a streak. A server that answers an
+ * error for hours never pauses delivery, because the probe passes, so
+ * a flush fails every interval. The first two reported losses of an
+ * episode print in full. After that the losses are counted, and one
+ * summary line prints per minute of streak with the counts. An
+ * episode ends at a landing. An explicit `flush()` that fails rejects
+ * to its caller and spends none of the lines. The handler still hears
+ * every loss.
+ *
+ * One count is off by one row per rare event. When the client refuses
+ * an append at its byte ceiling, its promise rejects after the plan
+ * has returned, so the row was already counted as buffered. The next
+ * flush then carries one row fewer than the count says. The drift is
+ * one row per such event, and it resets when that flush settles.
+ *
+ * What a failure sets in motion. A failed or abandoned engine flush
+ * goes to the gate. The gate runs the ADR-030 probe once, holds the
+ * single-flight guard until the probe answers, and pauses delivery
+ * when the probe fails. While paused, `write()` and the timer start no
+ * flush, rows collect up to the ceiling, and each tick asks the gate to
+ * probe again. When the gate resumes, the engine sends everything held
+ * in one flush. Two flushes own their own errors and never reach the
+ * gate: an explicit `flush()` rejects to its caller, and a flush that
+ * fails during the drain is reported by shutdown alone.
+ *
+ * The ceiling (ADR-018 §12). Once the rows buffered plus the rows in
+ * flight reach `bufferCeilingRows`, `write()` refuses new rows with
+ * `STORAGE_FULL`. The refusal is one shared object, so shedding costs
+ * no allocation. A shed row is a capacity refusal, not a sender error,
+ * and does not touch the error counter. Health reads red at the
+ * ceiling. With hold and probe, the ceiling is the outage the adapter
+ * rides through without loss. A shedding episode prints two lines and
+ * no more: one at the first refusal, one when the interval tick finds
+ * room again, with the count refused. The ended line can lag the
+ * first free slot by one interval; that keeps the accept branch free
+ * of the check.
+ *
+ * Health (ADR-018 §8). `connected` is derived, because the ILP client
+ * exposes no socket state. It is false while shutting down, while
+ * delivery is paused, after five consecutive write errors, or when
+ * delivery reads red. Delivery reads red after two failed flushes in
+ * a row, or after one abandoned flush. `status` is `red` when not
+ * connected or at capacity (`pressure >= 1`). It is `yellow` when
+ * `pressure >= 0.66`, when a write error is outstanding, or when one
+ * flush has failed. Otherwise it is `green`. One successful write
+ * clears the write error count, and one delivered flush clears the
+ * flush failure count. The health object also carries
+ * `abandonedFlushes`, `pausedSince`, `consecutiveFlushFailures`,
+ * `lastFlushAt`, and `lastFlushError` (`{ message, abandoned, at }`,
+ * kept after recovery so the last failure stays readable). The ladder
+ * itself is `deliveryStateOf` in `flush-tracker.js`, which also prints
+ * one line at every change of it, so a log reader and a health reader
+ * see the same state.
+ *
+ * Shutdown (ADR-018 drain-then-close). A clean resolve is a delivery
+ * statement: everything buffered or in flight was delivered. The
+ * engine stops the timer, refuses new rows, and hands the drain to
+ * `shutdown-drain.js`, which settles every unsettled flush plus one
+ * final flush and reports any loss with an exact `dropped` count. The
+ * outcome is latched here, so repeated calls cannot contradict it.
+ * Shutdown attempts the final flush even while delivery is paused,
+ * because the endpoint may have returned since the last tick. A flush
+ * that fails during the drain is reported by shutdown alone.
+ *
+ * Mid-row recovery (ADR-018 — a rejected message costs that message,
+ * nothing else):
+ * - A persist plan that throws between sender.table() and sender.at() leaves
+ *   the client holding a half-written row. Without recovery, every later
+ *   write fails with "Table name has already been set" — the 2026-06-10
+ *   silent-write-failure incident lost 98.6% of a replay's rows this way.
+ * - write()'s catch therefore calls recoverSender(), which composes two
+ *   documented client calls: flush() ships every COMPLETED row out of the
+ *   buffer (the copy-out happens synchronously, before any network I/O; the
+ *   client documents that an unfinished row stays behind), then reset()
+ *   clears the buffer — at that point holding only the broken stub — and
+ *   lowers the client's row-in-progress flags.
+ * - The recovery flush runs only when completed rows are buffered. It
+ *   carries real data and is tracked like every flush. If it fails, the
+ *   loss is reported like any other:
+ *   `onDeliveryFailure( err, { trigger: 'recovery', rowsLost, abandoned, probe } )`,
+ *   or one `DELIVERY_FAILED` line.
+ * - With nothing buffered, reset() alone clears the broken row. An empty
+ *   flush sends nothing and resolves at once, so tracking it would stamp
+ *   a success the endpoint never gave (the 2026-09-08 review found the
+ *   ladder climbing to yellow on exactly that).
+ * - While delivery is paused, a mid-row throw still runs this flush.
+ *   The held rows go into the dead endpoint and are lost. The client
+ *   offers no other way to clear the broken row. A row-cancel call
+ *   would remove that loss; see the upstream issue below.
+ * - The client (4.2.0) has no row-cancel API, while its sibling clients do
+ *   (.NET CancelRow, Rust/C rewind_to_marker, Java recovers automatically).
+ *   Upstream issue #60 tracks the gap:
+ *   https://github.com/questdb/nodejs-questdb-client/issues/60
+ *   When a release ships cancelRow(), recoverSender() becomes that one call.
+ *
+ * Long-running commitments (ADR-018 §12). One interval timer, created
+ * at setup and cleared at shutdown; it does not hold the process open.
+ * One deadline timer per flush, cleared when the flush settles, never
+ * one per row. Every counter is bounded by the ceiling, except the
+ * plain event counts (`abandonedFlushes`, write errors), which are
+ * integers. The per-row path allocates nothing in this module; the
+ * persist plan documents its own one derived promise per row. The
+ * probe runs only after a failure or once per tick while paused, so a
+ * healthy adapter never opens a probe socket. Reconnection and request
+ * retries belong to the client. No listeners are attached.
+ *
+ * Client facts this module relies on (`@questdb/nodejs-client`, pinned
+ * `~4.2.0`; re-verify each on an upgrade):
+ * - `flush()` is `async` and copies the completed rows out of the
+ *   buffer before it sends (copy-out).
+ * - `at()` is `async`; its append runs first and synchronously.
+ * - `tryFlush()` checks `auto_flush` first, so `auto_flush=off` stops
+ *   every client-side flush.
+ * - `close()` on the HTTP transport is an empty function. Nothing here
+ *   can abort an in-flight send; process exit is the backstop.
+ * - A send against an unreachable server can retry without end
+ *   (undici `RetryAgent`, `maxRetries: Infinity`), so a flush promise
+ *   may never settle. The per-flush deadline is what bounds it here.
+ *   Under that transport a refused connection shows up as an
+ *   abandonment after the deadline, not as a fast rejection.
+ *
+ * The adapter's `index.js` header carries the full `err.code`
+ * vocabulary, the defaults table, and the deprecated options.
