Research direction

Start by reproducing the shown BEGIN READONLY transaction in the hrana server and trace how the server handles transaction modes. Determine whether the intended result is to enforce read-only behavior or reject the syntax, then add coverage proving that writes cannot proceed silently and run the relevant server tests.
