feat(transaction): Serializable Snapshot Isolation (SSI) — v1.8.0

[Copilot]

Implements full SSI for ThemisDB v1.8.0: predicate (SIREAD) lock tracking, read-write / write-write conflict detection, automatic serialization failure, and retry with exponential backoff.

Description

Core API additions

• IsolationLevel::SerializableSnapshot — alias for SERIALIZABLE (value = 4), as specified in the architecture spec
• TransactionManager::SSIConfig — enable_predicate_locking, max_predicate_locks, conflict_detection_interval; wired via setSSIConfig() / getSSIConfig() which propagate limits to LockManager
• TransactionManager::SerializationConflict + detectConflicts(txn_id) — enumerate predicate-lock conflicts for a live SERIALIZABLE transaction

// Configure SSI
TransactionManager::SSIConfig cfg;
cfg.max_predicate_locks = 5000;
txn_mgr.setSSIConfig(cfg);

// Use SerializableSnapshot alias
auto txn = txn_mgr.beginTransaction(IsolationLevel::SerializableSnapshot);
txn->trackPredicateRead("entity:accounts:acct_A", "entity:accounts:acct_Z");
auto result = txn->putEntity("accounts", account);  // fails if write conflicts predicate lock
// result.message contains "serialization failure: write conflicts with predicate lock..."

// Retry via TransactionRetryManager (SSI errors classified as WRITE_CONFLICT)
retry_mgr.executeWithRetry([&]() { /* rebuild + commit txn */ }, "transfer_op");

LockManager extensions

• setPredicateLockingEnabled(bool) — global on/off; checkPredicateConflict short-circuits to 0 when disabled
• setMaxPredicateLocks(size_t) — cap total concurrent predicate locks; acquirePredicateLock returns false (silent drop) at limit
• All four methods are std::atomic-backed, thread-safe

Retry integration

TransactionRetryManager::classifyError() extended to match "serialization failure" and "transaction must be retried" as WRITE_CONFLICT so executeWithRetry transparently retries SSI-aborted transactions with exponential backoff.

Write-skew prevention

Predicate locks acquired via trackPredicateRead([start, end]) block any other SERIALIZABLE transaction from writing into that range, eliminating the classic write-skew / lost-update anomalies.

<issue_title>Serializable Snapshot Isolation (SSI)</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Context

This issue implements the roadmap item 'Serializable Snapshot Isolation (SSI)' for the transaction domain. It is sourced from the consolidated roadmap under 🟠 High Priority — Near-term (v1.5.0 – v1.8.0) and targets milestone v1.8.0.

Primary detail section: Serializable Snapshot Isolation (SSI)

Goal

Deliver the scoped changes for Serializable Snapshot Isolation (SSI) in src/transaction/ and complete the linked detail section in a release-ready state for v1.8.0.

Detailed Scope

Serializable Snapshot Isolation (SSI)

Priority: High
Target Version: v1.8.0

Add full serializability with snapshot isolation using predicate locking and conflict detection.

Features:

• Predicate lock tracking for range queries
• Read-write conflict detection
• Write-write conflict detection
• Automatic serialization failure detection
• Transaction retry with exponential backoff

Architecture:

enum class IsolationLevel {
    ReadCommitted,
    Snapshot,
    SerializableSnapshot  // New level
};

class TransactionManager {
public:
    struct SSIConfig {
        bool enable_predicate_locking = true;
        size_t max_predicate_locks = 10000;
        std::chrono::milliseconds conflict_detection_interval{100};
    };
    
    void setSSIConfig(const SSIConfig& config);
    
    // Predicate lock management
    void trackPredicateLock(TransactionId txn_id, 
                           const PredicateLock& predicate);
    
    // Conflict detection
    std::vector<SerializationConflict> detectConflicts(TransactionId txn_id);
};

// Example usage
auto txn = txn_mgr.begin(IsolationLevel::SerializableSnapshot);
txn.putEntity("accounts", account);  // Tracked for conflicts
auto result = txn.commit();  // May fail with serialization error
if (!result.ok && result.message.find("Serialization") != std::string::npos) {
    // Retry transaction
}

Implementation Details:

• SIREAD locks for reads that may cause conflicts
• Commit-time validation of read/write sets
• False positive rate: <5% (tunable with granularity)
• Performance overhead: 10-15% vs Snapshot isolation

Benefits:

• True serializability without holding locks
• Eliminates write skew anomalies
• Prevents lost updates in complex scenarios
• Better than traditional 2PL for read-heavy workloads
