Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This change still allows malformed WAL data to trigger out-of-bounds reads or recovery/inspection crashes, and cleanup failures can leave durable files inconsistent with in-memory recovery state.

cmds_[0]before command decoding.Checksum validation runs before the command loop populates
entry->cmds_. Any checksum mismatch therefore indexes an empty vector in the diagnostic path.CorruptEntrycreates exactly this condition, so the new recovery tests can crash instead of returningnullptrfor purge.Log only header data at this point, or decode a command only after checksum validation succeeds.

- Line 2438: Update ThrowWalIOError and the WAL open/read failure paths used by
WalEntryIterator::Make to call RecoverableError instead of UnrecoverableError,
while preserving a path-specific status and the documented RecoverableException
contract.
- Line 2502: Update both directional WAL entry-size checks surrounding
WalEntry::ReadAdv so entry_size must be at least sizeof(WalEntryHeader) + 2 *
sizeof(i32) before parsing; preserve the existing upper-bound validation and
reject undersized frames to prevent out-of-bounds reads.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Use the recoverable error boundary for WAL open and read failures.
ThrowWalIOError calls UnrecoverableError, but WalEntryIterator::Make documents RecoverableException. The new UnreadableWalFileIsRecoverableError test also requires that contract. A WAL file removed after an admin request lists it will terminate the process instead of returning a request error.
Use RecoverableError with a path-specific status for these I/O failures.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Reject entry sizes smaller than a serialized WAL entry.
A four-byte file whose first i32 is 4 passes these checks. WalEntry::ReadAdv then reads a full WalEntryHeader and the command count from an undersized frame. This is an out-of-bounds read during recovery or WAL inspection.
Require entry_size >= sizeof(WalEntryHeader) + 2 * sizeof(i32) before calling WalEntry::ReadAdv in both directions.
