Review Comment:
   Flipped to `(file, requested)`, so this class and 
`HoodieVariantReconstruction.create` now read the same way; both call sites 
updated and the two params documented. No behaviour change.
   
   Worth noting the failure mode is not hypothetical: while checking this I ran 
the reconstruction suite against a stale `hudi-common` in `.m2`, the flipped 
call bound to the old signature, and 4/8 tests went red on inverted detection 
with nothing at compile time to warn me.
