feat(cubesys): Task 4 reader/writer sharding (Mutex -> RwLock)
ConcurrentStore.inner is now Arc<RwLock<CubeStore>>: all read paths take the read side, all mutations + checkpoint take the write side. Readers no longer exclude each other and overlap an active writer (verified by concurrent_reads_dont_block_on_writer + cube-bench Task 4 section). WAL, checkpoint, and coordinate encoding are untouched, so durability/replay is unchanged (.check green). Honest finding recorded in docs/task4-reader-writer-sharding.md: on this 8-core host std RwLock removes reader-vs-reader exclusion (correct) but shows no wall-clock speedup for short reads (cache-line bounce on one shared lock). Real read-throughput scaling would need sharded/lock-free storage, left as a follow-up decision rather than invented.

// ---- 5. Task 4: reader/writer sharding (RwLock) ------------------------
|
||||
// The win from an RwLock (over the old single global Mutex) is that
|
||||
// concurrent READERS do not serialize behind one another — many read
|
||||
// threads run in parallel, and a writer doing short puts does not stop
|
||||
// readers from making progress. We measure:
|
||||
// * readers_solo_ms — 1 reader's time (the per-thread cost)
|
||||
// * concurrent_8_ms — 8 readers at once (RwLock: ~solo, gated by
|
||||
// cores, NOT 8x solo)
|
||||
// * serialized_mutex_ms — 8 x solo == what the OLD Mutex would cost
|
||||
// * with_writer_ms — 8 readers WHILE a writer does short puts;
|
||||
// readers must overlap the writer, not queue
|
||||
// behind it.
