2. How do we simulate “corruption” in our tests, without assuming anything about the staff’s implementation?

   DatastoreGetMap() might be helpful. You can compare the entries in Datastore before/after calling an API function (StoreFile, AppendFile, etc), and use the difference to deduce where things are stored.
