Follow-up to the trunk PR #4807 forward-merge for cassandra-5.0. The
trunk R1 commit (8e0700a7cb on the chain leading to 32826fe563)
rewrote reference/cql-commands/commands-toc.adoc to retarget 38
broken xref:reference/cql-commands/<page>.adoc[...] entries to the
corresponding anchors in developing/cql/{ddl,dml,functions,mvs,
security,types}.adoc, kept 6 entries that still resolve under
cassandra:reference/cql-commands/, and dropped 4 DSE-only entries
(RESTRICT, RESTRICT ROWS, UNRESTRICT, UNRESTRICT ROWS).
The same transformation is applied here to cassandra-5.0. The trunk
commit was not cherry-pickable because 5.0's commands-toc.adoc had
diverged from trunk's pre-R1 version by ~9 lines (the DSE-only
entries plus an unrelated formatting drift); a direct edit replacing
the file with trunk's post-R1 content was the cleanest application.
One trunk-only entry is omitted: LIST SUPERUSERS (target
developing/cql/security.adoc#list-superusers-statement). That anchor
does not exist on cassandra-5.0; the LIST SUPERUSERS command was
added after 5.0.
All 29 retarget anchors plus the 6 cassandra:reference/cql-commands/
target pages verified to exist on upstream/cassandra-5.0.

Forward-merge of the Phase 3 A2 fix from trunk (part of commit
32826fe563) to cassandra-4.0. Retargets the ROOT-nav and ROOT-index
Contact us xrefs from the removed master@_:ROOT:contactus.adoc page
to the existing master@_:ROOT:community.adoc.
The fix is applied as a direct edit rather than a cherry-pick: 4.0's
ROOT/nav.adoc has a different surrounding structure from trunk's (no
ifndef::local-build wrapper, no development sub-nav), so a clean
cherry-pick of the trunk patch is not possible. The net effect on
the targeted xrefs is identical.

Forward-merge of the trunk fix (commit 32826fe563) to cassandra-5.0.
Restricted to the changes whose broken-target patterns exist on this
branch.
Two trunk commits intentionally omitted:
- P1 (memtable.adoc retarget): the memtable sections containing the
broken xref were added on trunk only and do not exist on 5.0.
- R1 (commands-toc.adoc rewrite): commands-toc.adoc on 5.0 diverges
from trunk by ~9 lines; the 38-row retarget mapping will be applied
as a separate follow-up commit on this branch.

Resolve broken cross-module xrefs and image/anchor targets across the
cassandra docs tree. Companion to apache/cassandra-website#319 (merged
2026-05-13) under the same JIRA umbrella.

- TransactionStatement token aware routing
- Mitigate convoy effect:
- ExecuteTxnBacklog v1 can execute single key transaction backlogs and disseminate the result
- Direct local execution possible for single key transactions
- Use shardAppliedBefore instead of gcBefore to cleanup CFK faster
Also Improve:
- Introduce distributed tracing
- Combine RejectBefore and MaxConflicts
- Self-addressed messages are delivered directly
- Disable AccordSyncPropagator by default, as incompatible with large clusters
- FastPathStrategy.SIMPLE should not modify fast path contents; FastPathStrategy.UP introduced to adopt this behaviour
- Configurable queue prioritisation
- ProtocolModifiers mostly final
- Remove unnecessary condition check when serializing TxnUpdate
Also Fix:
- SequentialExecutor ownership bug
- BTree.XUpdater.reset()

use compression ratio to scale the amount of remaining disk usage
CompactionInfo::estimatedRemainingWriteBytes is uncompressed, causing compaction to be rejected due to size when it has space to complete

- Clean Shutdown/Restart
- Rebootstrap to allow nodes to rejoin consensus if they are out of sync, or did not shutdown cleanly
Improve:
- Improve efficiency of BTreeReducingRangeMap
- DurableBefore backed by BTreeReducingRangeMap
- Soft reject new transactions when a replica has a backlog of work
- system_accord_debug.command_store_ops supports starting journal replay
Fix:
- Ensure SequentialExecutor.owner is unset only by the owner
- Detect and avoid taking two AccordExecutor locks simultaneously
- MaxConflicts serializer
- tryToExecuteListening after replay, to handle invalidated dependencies
- TxnNamedRead does not close a RowIterator, leading to native memory leaks
- GetLatestDepsNack serialization
- journal.readLast() did not read last
- DefaultRemoteListeners not correctly synchronised
- RangeTxnScanner cancellation assumes was already started
- Start cfk compaction before replay
- txn_graph should avoid visiting parents twice (possible if two different dependency chains connecting them in the graph)
- Topology.cloneEquivalentWithEpoch should also share nodeLookup and ranges, especially to accelerate computeWaitForEpoch/computeScope
- Do not invoke slowReplicaDelay or slowCoordinatorDelay during restore
- Do not fail if slowReplicaDelay or slowCoordinatorDelay are invoked without knowing the transaction

SinglePartitionReadCommand.Group#create - typical single partition select, use singletonList instead of ArrayList + Object[]
SelectStatement#getSliceCommands - remove unnessesary cloning of partition key, it is a part of a very old patch, now we copy all values from Netty buffers
SelectStatement#getSliceCommands - typical single partition select, use singletonList instead of ArrayList + Object[]
SinglePartitionReadQuery.Group#maybeValidateIndex, avoid iterators for restrictionSet if a full partition is selected

Best effort attempt to get tableId from CFS, fallback to null which
still allows snapshot to be loaded
End result is that nodetool clearsnapshot and listsnapshot function for such
snapshots on restart
In addition to 5.0 patch we move starting SnapshotManager to after TCM is initiliazed.
The consequence of such a move is that cleanup of ephemeral snapshots happens after startup checks pass.
