transaction-concurrency-control-foundations
Provides database transaction concurrency-control background. Use when reasoning about transactions, commits and aborts, serializability, isolation anomalies, conflicts, dependencies, and protocol families such as locking, timestamp ordering, OCC, MVCC, SSI, TicToc, hybrid protocols.

# Transaction Concurrency-Control Foundations
Use this skill when you need *shared vocabulary + decision lenses* for transaction concurrency control before analyzing a specific protocol or trace.
This skill is most useful when you catch yourself asking:
- “What *exactly* is the anomaly / conflict here?”
- “What does the protocol need to prevent, and what metadata would prove it?”
- “Is this abort required for correctness or just conservative?”
