Description

If you run a long sync and press Ctrl-C, you get the following error on subsequent sync:

thread 'main' panicked at libsql/examples/sync_stress.rs:49:21:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Sync(InvalidPushFrameConflict(1, 222))
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

The info file seems to be the culprit here because durable frame number is zero:

{"hash":2473653909,"version":0,"durable_frame_num":0,"generation":17}

Research direction

Reproduce the interruption scenario with libsql/examples/sync_stress.rs and inspect the failure reported at line 49. Start by examining how the info file's durable_frame_num=0 interacts with WAL sync after Ctrl-C; done means a subsequent sync no longer returns InvalidPushFrameConflict.
