 * [PS-10227](https://perconadev.atlassian.net/browse/PS-10227): An unexpected server exit occurred when `rocksdb_table_stats_skip_system_cf` was enabled. Previously, enabling this option left the system column‑family pointer null during RocksDB recovery, causing an assertion failure in `Rdb_cf_manager::get_cf()` and aborting `mysqld` with signal 6. The fix introduced proper initialization and safety checks for the system column family, allowing the server to start normally while still skipping system‑CF statistics.
