The continuous-historization recorder awaited every outbox append (an fsync
under PerEntry) on its mailbox, so ingestion was capped at 1/fsync_latency
bursts per second while the mux kept telling into an unbounded, unmetered
mailbox. GetStatus also suspended the mailbox on an unbounded outbox count.
- Gated ingest bursts go to a bounded channel (64 bursts) drained by one
ordered append loop, which commits every burst waiting behind a slow
append in a single AppendBatchAsync (FIFO kept). Only a full queue holds
the mailbox (backpressure, bounded memory). Counters are Interlocked; the
loop nudges the drain. PostStop flushes queued bursts within the shared
5 s stop budget.
- GetStatus reads counters on the actor thread and pipes a count bounded by
a 10 s timeout (-1 when it does not answer); it no longer suspends the
mailbox. RecorderStatus gains PendingAppends, MailboxDepth and
AppendBackpressureWaits; two gauges publish pending appends and mailbox
depth.
- ContinuousHistorization:CommitMode defaults to Periodic (100 ms). The
Host's appsettings.json, its unparseable-value fallback and docker-dev
still say PerEntry: filed as a Host follow-up (outside this lane).

The QuestDB live writer waited for WAL visibility after every tag group, and
the wait polled wal_tables() every 10 ms. With DrainConcurrency = 8 that was
up to eight pollers at ~100 queries/s each against a database whose WAL
apply was already behind.
New Runtime seam IHistorianPassWriter (WriteLiveValuesInPassAsync +
FlushAsync). The recorder writes every group of a pass through it and calls
FlushAsync once after all groups report, before the ack, whenever any group
wrote (an un-acked pass is redelivered and its insert-if-absent check must
see this pass's rows). A flush failure does not fail the pass. The QuestDB
writer implements it: in-pass writes only mark a flush as owed; FlushAsync
waits once. The poll now backs off 10 -> 20 -> ... -> 200 ms, never past the
timeout. Direct WriteLiveValuesAsync callers still wait per call.
Also updates the QuestDB cancelled-write integration test to the rethrow
contract from the previous commit.
