Description

mvSQLite has stacked a lot of logic on top of FoundationDB. The *design* of these logic should be verified for correctness.

Some specific subsystems that would benefit from verification:

- The commit path
- Garbage collection

Research direction

Start by mapping mvSQLite’s commit path and garbage collection logic, then identify the FoundationDB-backed behavior that needs formal verification. Define TLA+ specifications for the selected subsystem and establish what properties the verification must prove; the issue does not name implementation files or tests.
