attach/promote-under-partition Jepsen workload has landed; its checker pins
three properties — promotion never outruns catch-up, no acknowledged write lost
across a promotion, and a learner never counted in the voter quorum.

Note on the first: catch-up is measured against the LEADER's commit index, not
against `min-applied-index`. The engine's own test is
`Match >= min-applied-index`, so an operator who reads the learner's current
`Match` and passes it back satisfies it by construction — and both that broken
call and the correct one (pick a target, wait for `Match` to reach it) end with
`min-applied-index == Match`. That equality distinguishes nothing; only the
leader's position does.
