Did I read that correctly that there’s no WAL?

I let agents do their things but I would not trust them with my data without extensive validation. A database efforts main product is not exotic data structures but validation.

So the main feature of this project is that it's easy to fork a database, however it's 1.2x to 4x slower than sqlite, and it's level of testing and validation will be nothing like sqlite. The simple way to fork a sqlite db is just to copy it, but if that is too slow you could use it with a copy on write filesystem, either something native, a FUSE filesystem, or build a sqlite VFS. That would probably be faster to build, faster to run, and easier to validate.
