Masking System Crashes in Database Application Programs

Summary: Introduces a log-based recovery method to mask database application crashes from users. Uses a toy language with terminal IO and DB ops, then refines its semantics to include logging and recovery, showing crash resilience without changing apps. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
