Contributions summary:Mufeez contributed to the `pebble` key-value database by enhancing the `lsm` tool for visualizing manifest edits. They introduced new CLI arguments to constrain the visualization to a specific range of edits and added an offset feature. Furthermore, the user implemented support for concurrent manual compactions, enhancing the database's performance by allowing parallel execution of compaction operations. Several tests were added or modified to validate the new compaction and ingestion features, as well as the behavior of WAL replay.
