+A block that already made part of its work durable is never re-run: a statement with a `BATCH n` boundary, or a `commit()` inside `fn`, publishes rows that the rollback cannot take back, so a replay would apply them twice. When such a block hits a retryable conflict, the conflict is raised as it is (the same `ArcadeDBError` the last attempt failed with), after the rollback of what was still open.

+"""
+``Database.run_in_transaction`` never replays a block that already committed part of its work (#7916), on both wheels.
+
+A statement with a ``BATCH n`` boundary, or a ``commit()`` inside the block, makes part of the block's work durable. When the block
+then hits a retryable conflict, the rollback cannot take that part back, and a replay would apply it twice and report clean success.
+The conflict has to be raised instead. The conflict here is a real one (a second thread commits to a record the block also wrote), so
+the same test runs against the JPype wheel and the native wheel, and it needs neither a Java class nor a fabricated error.
+
+The native wheel's guard once sat in a ``try`` whose own ``except ArcadeDBError: pass`` swallowed the ``raise`` it was written to
+make, so a native block that had committed part of its work was replayed.
