+Known pre-existing exceptions are not covered by this in-memory transaction:
+`yearbookHandler` performs an idempotent PostgreSQL upsert,
+`tournamentAutoStart` writes Redis tournament keys, and `unificationHandler`
+starts archive/inheritance writes outside `databaseHooks`. If a later calendar

 ## Testing with a Controlled Clock
 
 - Turn daemon tests should use a controllable `Clock` implementation (예: `ManualClock`) to
