Dec 1, 2025Month: 2025-12 — Delivered a cohesive refactor of the transaction limbo subsystem in tarantool/tarantool to boost reliability, maintainability, and readiness for upcoming features. The work emphasizes modularization, explicit state/outcome handling, and streamlined journal I/O, with initialization hardening to prevent uninitialized state. These changes reduce complexity and prepare the codebase for future evolution (e.g., related to #8095 and Raft-driven transitions).
