/**
 * @module tests/unit/brainy/persistence-policy
 * @description THE ENGINE-OWNED FLUSH CADENCE pins (A4,
 * SELF-ENGINE-LIFECYCLE-SPRINT, David-directed: callers NEVER call flush()
 * in hot paths). The production disease: 829 caller-scheduled per-write
 * flushes convoying into 45–66 second write walls — cadence hand-rolled a
 * layer above the only layer that can see dirty state and IO pressure.
 *
 * Pinned here: (1) the write-count trigger fires a BACKGROUND flush without
 * any caller flush(); (2) the idle trigger; (3) `'manual'` restores
 * caller-owned cadence exactly; (4) THE ACK LAW — a write acknowledges
 * without awaiting any background flush, even one that never resolves.
