Research direction
Start at BaseHoodieWriteClient and trace callers of compact() and logCompact(), especially the metadata table path. Determine whether these methods are needed outside the metadata table and document the scope before changing their exposure; done means the write-client layer no longer exposes unnecessary public methods, with affected callers still working.
