In `@src/bin/dolos/snapshot/backfill.rs`:
- Line 275: Update Driver::extend to evaluate and retain both the replay and
shutdown results before returning, rather than propagating the replay error
immediately. Add a combined backfill::Error variant for simultaneous failures
and use it to preserve both errors, following the existing handling in
BulkReplaySession::run.
In `@src/engine.rs`:
- Line 182: Remove the Clone derive from the session type and change its close
method to consume self rather than borrowing it. Update callers such as run and
any other close invocations to transfer ownership, ensuring no session handle
remains usable after shutdown; only add synchronized closed-state tracking if
shared handles must be retained.

445-447: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winCall the inherent methods through explicit paths in the trait impls.
Each trait method body calls a same-named method on
self. Rust resolves these to the inherent methods, so the current code is correct. The resolution is implicit:Workspace::finishand the inherentReplayWorkspace::finishhave identical signatures, and only inherent-method priority separates them.If an inherent method is later renamed or removed, the trait method body will resolve to itself and recurse until the stack overflows. The code still compiles. Use explicit paths so the target is fixed at the call site.
Also applies to lines 449-451, 454-456, 462-464, 471-472, 476-477, and 481-482.

Summary
Expose the existing Dolos replay engine for an external host, without making the host coordinate Dolos storage internals.
Plan:
plans/stelae-publisher-pipeline-dolos-engine.md(step 1 of the Stelae-owned publisher migration).This revision addresses the API review: owning the implementation in Dolos is not enough if its public contract still leaks WAL recovery and unrestricted domain access.
Host-facing API
DomainBuilder::build()remains the shared normal-node construction path. Store assembly is private.ReplayWorkspace::open(config, genesis)opens a dataset for inspection without running ledger initialization, advancing pending chain work or pruning history.workspace.snapshot()provides borrowed, read-only Dolos profile operations: position, epoch, plan, preview and publication. No writable store handles escape.workspace.start(stop_epoch)explicitly transitions into replay;BulkReplaySession::open(...)is the convenience path when no pending export needs inspection.session.import_blocks(...)requires exclusive mutable access and reports committed position or a terminal boundary. It never substitutes the last submitted block for the actual committed position.session.finish() -> Result<(), BulkReplayError>persists completed work and releases resources.run(...)finalizes on ordinary success and failure, preserving simultaneous errors.prune_history()remains an explicit host decision, never automatic at completion.Removed from the new public API:
BulkRecovery,BulkRecoveryError,recover_bulk_checkpoint,initial_recovery(), storage-returning construction methods, cloned replay handles and theDomainimplementation on replay sessions. Checkpoint reconciliation is now private engine implementation. Internal causes remain available in diagnostic error chains.Existing flows
Domain.Workspace,SessionandPublishcontracts: inspect/publish pending data first, then start the next replay round.Lifecycle guarantees and limits
