-/**
- * @file RNT_C_API.h
- * @brief C-callable surface over the RNT manager pipeline for OCaml ctypes.
- *
- * All types are opaque void pointers on the C side; the implementation casts
- * them to the appropriate C++ types internally. Callers must never dereference
- * handle or cursor pointers directly.
- *
- * ## Memory contract
- * - Strings returned via out-parameters (char**) are heap-allocated by the
- * API and must be released with rnt_free_string().
- * - Payloads returned via (uint8_t**, size_t*) are heap-allocated and must
- * be released with rnt_free_bytes().
- * - Handles and cursors are owned by the caller and must be closed before
- * the program exits.
- *
- * ## Error convention
- * - Functions returning int use 0 for success and a negative value for error.
- * - Functions returning a pointer return NULL on failure.
- *
- * ## Thread safety
- * This API is **not thread-safe**. The global runtime (g_rt) is a single
- * in-process instance; all callers share the same ObjectManager and storage
- * backend. The expected usage model is a single OCaml thread (or domain)
- * driving the API at a time. If concurrent access is needed in the future,
- * a per-object or per-relation mutex strategy should be introduced.
- *
- * @todo Implement AUTH_CLAIM::READ/WRITE enforcement in rnt_open_handle once
- * PermissionsManager::Access is wired to a real policy engine. Currently
- * all handles open with full access regardless of the claims parameter.
