One nit and a safety comment fix below. (feel free to ignore the nit)
With the safety comment fixed:

I would have named this `once`.

And the type invariants also ensure that the value of `self.init`
doesn't change.
So probably
// SAFETY: By the type invariants of `Self`, `self.init == 2` means that `self.value`
// contains a valid value. They also guarantee that `self.init` doesn't change.
If you come up with something better, feel free to use it.
