Issue Summary

The macro WT_TRET is used inside the function __checkpoint_db_internal, and it may silently update the ret variable if a call fails. This can make it difficult to diagnose failures, as errors may go unnoticed.

Context

The following function calls within __checkpoint_db_internal are candidates where this issue may occur:

• __wt_txn_rollback
• __wt_disagg_put_crypt_helper
• __wt_disagg_put_checkpoint_meta

Currently, there is no diagnostic code to alert when WT_TRET updates ret due to a failure in these calls.

Proposed Solution

Add diagnostic code to log or otherwise surface when WT_TRET updates ret in __checkpoint_db_internal. This will help identify and debug silent failures in the above candidate function calls.
