# Storage layer
-This directory is reserved for persistence adapters. The storage engine and its
-schema are intentionally undecided; SQLite or another dependency will be added
-to `vcpkg.json` only after the storage contract is designed.
+The storage adapter owns `active.log`, `snapshot.bin`, the data-directory lock,
+in-memory live/deleted state, synchronous PUT/DEL writes, startup replay, and
+compaction. It uses Win32 64-bit file APIs and `FlushFileBuffers`.
+The binary format is private but versioned. Invalid complete records are never
+skipped; only an incomplete EOF record is truncated. Snapshot generation must
+match the active log before snapshot state is trusted.
