Research direction
Start by examining tiflash_pid.zip and the snapshot metrics for TiFlash v5.4.0, focusing on why 15 DT_SnapshotOfRead snapshots remain after query or compaction work finishes. Done means reproducing the condition and confirming that all snapshots are released and the minimum count returns to zero.
