+(* Clay - Filesystem Driver with Eio
+ *
+ * This is the filesystem driver for Urbit's Clay vane.
+ * Uses Eio.Path for async file I/O - MUCH faster than C Vere's blocking I/O!
+ *
+ * Key innovations vs C Vere:
+ * - C Vere: Blocking file I/O, sequential operations, slow directory scans
+ * - Overe: Async I/O with Eio.Path, parallel file operations, MASSIVE speedup!
