03ff299233 Keep cultcache-rs record homes stable and refuse strays at load
Conform cultcache-rs to the store-composition contract, following C#:

- add_backing_store returns Err, attaching nothing, when the new store
  would move the home of any entry type the cache already holds.
- pull_all_backing_stores loads every store into a staged image and
  replaces the cache's entries only when all loaded. An entry delivered by
  a store that is not its home returns Err naming the key and both
  stores; nothing is admitted and no store is written.
- A cache with zero stores is in memory: put, put_envelope,
  put_raw_envelope, put_prepared_batch and delete no longer error. Once
  any store is attached, a type with no home still errors.

Tests for each rule fail on 6bb41f3.

6b117def62 Keep cultcache-ts record homes stable and refuse strays at load
Conform cultcache-ts to the store-composition contract, following C#:

- addBackingStore refuses, attaching nothing, when the new store would
  move the home of any record type the cache already holds (for example a
  store routed to "settings" attached after settings:app landed in the
  generic store).
- pullAllBackingStores reads, decodes and home-checks every record before
  replacing the cache's view. A record delivered by a store that is not
  its home throws naming the key and both stores; nothing is admitted and
  no store is written.
- A cache with zero stores is in memory: put, putEnvelope and delete no
  longer throw. Once any store is attached, a type with no home still
  throws.

Tests for each rule fail on 6bb41f3.

6bb41f39ea Give every cultcache-rs entry type one home store
Cut 5 (Rust). The four mirror loops in put, put_envelope, put_raw_envelope and
delete are deleted, and so is put_prepared_batch's route.len() != 1 branch.
resolve_route_index returns the single home store (the store that claims the
type, else the generic store) and replaces resolve_route_indices.

add_backing_store and add_generic_backing_store return Result and refuse a
second generic store or a type already claimed by another store, attaching
nothing when they refuse. Callers take the Result: the crate's tests, the
cultcache_interop example, cultnet-rs's tests and interop peer example, and
CultMeshNode::create_node in cultmesh-rs.

Tests: second_generic_store_is_rejected, type_claimed_twice_is_rejected;
type_specific_store_routes_before_generic_store stays, now attaching the routed
store before the generic one. No bytes change.

The store-composition contract's runtime table now records Rust, TypeScript
and Python as conforming to one home store per type, and the README routing
section drops its non-conformance note.

Version 0.1.0 -> 0.2.0.

5967a1f25d Give every cultcache-py document type one home store
Cut 5 (Python). stores_by_type maps each type to one store and generic_stores
becomes a single generic_store. add_backing_store raises on a type already
claimed and add_generic_store on a second generic store; a refused
registration claims nothing.

_stores_for_type and _all_specific_stores are deleted. _store_for_type returns
the home store and raises when stores are attached but none is home to the
type. It returns None only for a cache with no stores, which the contract
keeps as an in-memory cache. put, put_envelope, put_envelopes and delete each
write one store; pull_all_backing_stores pulls each distinct store once.

Tests: test_second_generic_store_rejected, test_type_claimed_twice_rejected,
test_types_route_to_home_store. No bytes change.

Version 0.2.0 -> 0.3.0.

8dd5a45378 Give every cultcache-ts document type one home store
Cut 5 (TypeScript). The cache no longer mirrors: StoreRoute and its mirrors
list are gone, #resolveRoute returns the single home store (the store that
claims the type, else the generic store), and put, putEnvelope and delete write
exactly one store.

addBackingStore now refuses a second generic store and a type already claimed
by another store, attaching nothing when it refuses, matching C#. No bytes
change; nothing in CultLib attached more than one store.

Tests: rejects a second generic backing store, rejects a type registered to
two stores, routes each type to its home store. The writer-by-reader interop
test now runs the C# write-routed mode and checks that catalog.cc and run.cc
are each a complete v1 snapshot holding only their own record, and that every
reader (TS, Rust, C#, Python) reads the routed catalog store.

Version 0.13.5 -> 0.14.0; cultnet-ts and cultmesh-ts depend on ^0.14.0 so the
workspace link still satisfies their range.

0408768d35 Give the counter sample integer MessagePack keys
CounterState in samples/eve-browser-network used string [Key]s, which the
registry rejects at registration, so the provider threw on open. Keys are now
0 counterId, 1 count, 2 receipts. The payload becomes a MessagePack array, so
the browser lowerer reads count positionally instead of by field name. The
getting-started chapter carried the same string-key shape and is corrected to
match.

BenchItem needed nothing: a5d1be6 already marked it [MessagePackObject]; the
earlier scan rejection came from a stale benchmark build. After rebuilding,
both types register.

No .cc stores exist under samples.

5bd4e4ed6e Persist get-only and readonly members the way MessagePack does
The reflective registry now decides persistence from the same two facts
MessagePack 3.1.7's DynamicObjectResolver uses: whether it can assign a keyed
member after construction, and which constructor it picks.

- Every keyed public member is discovered, get-only properties included.
  MessagePack writes them all; the registry used to leave a get-only property
  out of the catalog and schema id even when a constructor filled it.
- MessagePack picks the [SerializationConstructor] if marked, otherwise the
  longest visible constructor whose parameters take the keyed members by
  position (probed: a longer non-matching constructor falls back to a shorter
  one). A member it cannot assign is read back only when its slot is below
  that constructor's parameter count.
- A readonly field is assignable under AllowPrivate (probed: round-trips with
  only a parameterless constructor), and otherwise only through the picked
  constructor. Keyed readonly fields that constructor fills are accepted.
- A keyed member MessagePack writes but never reads back is refused with a
  message naming the constructor position: a get-only property, a readonly
  field without AllowPrivate, or a non-public setter without AllowPrivate,
  when the picked constructor does not fill it (probed: loaded as default).
- An unkeyed public get-only property is refused; MessagePack throws "all
  public members must mark KeyAttribute or IgnoreMemberAttribute". The unkeyed
  message now names both fixes.

Schema ids change for five GameCult.Eve.Surface documents, whose keyed members
are all get-only properties filled by a [SerializationConstructor]:
gamecult.eve.surface, gamecult.eve.asset_catalog,
gamecult.eve.command_invocation, gamecult.eve.command_receipt and
gamecult.eve.provider_advertisement (EveProviderAdvertisementDocument). Their
catalogs gain those members. No .cc store under F:\Projects holds records of
these schemas: the gamecult.eve.provider_advertisement catalog in Gjallar's
scratch smoke stores belongs to GjallarProviderAdvertisementRecord, which has
no get-only members, and every other hit is prose or a git tree listing.

Consumer registration scan (CultLib src/tests/tools/samples, Ymir.Core,
Gjallar, AquaSynth Core/Faust, Mimir): 148 types register; the two rejections
(CounterState string key, BenchItem without [MessagePackObject]) are rejected
on 9139bf3 too.

9139bf3195 Make registry member visibility follow MessagePack's
The reflective registry now accepts what MessagePack 3.1.7 round-trips for a
[CultDocument] and refuses what it would silently lose or throw on:

- A property is writable when its setter is public, or any setter (private,
  internal, init-only) under AllowPrivate. A public getter with a non-public
  setter on a type without AllowPrivate is refused: MessagePack wrote it and
  loaded null. Private and init-only setters on AllowPrivate types, previously
  over-rejected, are accepted and round-trip.
- A [Key] on a non-public member of a type without AllowPrivate is refused;
  MessagePack skipped it silently.
- A class with no constructor MessagePack can pick is refused (the primary
  constructor case). The check mirrors DynamicObjectResolver as probed: the
  [SerializationConstructor] if marked, else any public (any, under
  AllowPrivate) constructor whose parameters take the keyed members by
  position with an assignable type.

Tests: InternalSetterWithoutAllowPrivate, KeyedNonPublicMemberWithoutAllowPrivate,
AllowPrivatePrimaryConstructor, AllowPrivateSettersRoundTrip (byte-matched
against MessagePackSerializer); InheritedPrivateSetter carries the new message.

96ee5fdce3 Delete the CultCache MessagePack source generator
The reflective CultDocumentRegistry is now the only descriptor authority,
and payloads always go through MessagePackSerializer with
OptionsFor(document assembly). No consumer builds AOT, IL2CPP or trimmed,
Unity always ran the reflective path, and no benchmark showed a gain,
while the generator duplicated the registry's shape rules.

Removed: GameCult.Caching.MessagePack.Generator and .Analyzers (solution,
project and analyzer references, NuGet pack list), CultGeneratedDocumentMetadata
(provider attribute, interface, definitions, loader), the generated descriptor
and codec branches in CultCache and CultDocumentMessagePackSerialization,
DocumentShapeSweepTests and the generator half of the unkeyed test, the
Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp test reference and InternalsVisibleTo.

The registry rejects, with a message naming the fix, what MessagePackSerializer
cannot serialize and what the generator used to paper over: a document without
[MessagePackObject], a non-public document without AllowPrivate = true, and a
non-public member of an AllowPrivate document that is not [IgnoreMember].
DocumentShapeTests pins every rejection message and the accepted shapes'
round trips against MessagePackSerializer bytes (keeps the 93A16E0305 pin).
Rejected shapes are emitted into a dynamic assembly, which registry
discovery skips.

Nested member type names use reflection's Outer+Inner form, not the
generator's dot form, so ReferenceHolderEntry's fixture id is re-pinned
(bd8506... -> 4ec0c5...). A scan of the schema catalogs in all 2786 .cc
stores under F:\Projects (AetheriaEve and CultLib-* worktrees, bin and obj
excluded) found no member type name naming a nested type in either form.

a5d1be650d Mark every Cult document [MessagePackObject]
PlayerData, CultMeshSimulationFact, the Networking interop peer's
CultNetInteropNote, the cultnet-py benchmark item and the Caching test
documents lacked [MessagePackObject]. Only the generated codec could
serialize them; MessagePackSerializer refuses such types. Non-public test
documents take [MessagePackObject(AllowPrivate = true)], as consumer
internal documents already do, and ConditionalCommitTests.Slow marks its
private backing fields [IgnoreMember].

Same [Key]s, so payloads are unchanged: a pre/post probe over the
Networking assembly and both interop peers showed identical schema id,
content hash and payload bytes for all 9 documents, PlayerData equal once
its Guid.NewGuid() default id is masked.

30bf7fd267 Make MessagePack [Key] the slot authority and pin generic resolvers
.cc is MessagePack-based, so the core no longer pretends to be
serializer-independent. GameCult.Caching references
MessagePack.Annotations 3.1.7 and reads KeyAttribute and
IgnoreMemberAttribute by type instead of matching their names. The
benchmark's own MessagePack.Annotations reference is dropped; it arrives
through GameCult.Caching.

A generic document's options come from its generic definition's
assembly: Doc<X> uses Doc's declared resolvers, never X's.
GenericDocumentUsesItsOwnAssemblyResolvers compiles GenericHolder<T>
into an assembly whose resolver writes Pair as [B, A] and checks the
payload uses it rather than Pair's own assembly resolver.

Contracts: schema-compatibility states the slot rule and its
rejections; store-composition states the generic resolver rule.

7c4bc2bdc0 Make generated and reflective document members one rule
The generator and CultDocumentRegistry now discover members by the same
steps: most-derived declaration first, override chain collapsed to one
member, attributes read up the override chain, rejections in one order
with one text (GCC001 / InvalidOperationException).

- Accessors are named per document, so documents sharing a [CultName] or
  [CultIndex] base member no longer emit duplicate methods (CS0111).
- Duplicate [Key] slots are refused, including new-hidden fields and
  properties; a hidden persisted member with a different slot is refused.
- String [Key("x")] gets its own message instead of "has no [Key]".
- A persisted property whose set accessor is private, protected or init,
  or a readonly field, is refused instead of CS0272 in generated code.
- Overrides: MessagePack's DynamicObjectResolver reads the base
  declaration's [Key]/[IgnoreMember] (it throws "key is duplicated" for a
  re-keyed override and serializes an override marked [IgnoreMember]).
  An override that changes them is refused in both paths; an override
  that repeats or omits them is accepted and byte-pinned.
- Typed Serialize<T>/Deserialize<T> used static Options and skipped
  generated codecs and declared resolvers; deleted. CultNetDocumentBinding
  and CultMeshSnapshots route through the untyped path with their registry.

DocumentShapeSweepTests compiles each shape through the generator and
compares generated vs reflective schema id, catalog, name/index values
and payload against MessagePack's own bytes, or equal rejection text.

6d7868e0c7 Give the CultCache benchmark the Key attribute it now needs
The benchmark references only GameCult.Caching, which carries no MessagePack
dependency, so the [Key]s BenchItem gained in ea5a07b did not resolve and the
tool stopped building. It references MessagePack.Annotations, which brings the
attribute without MessagePack's analyzer.

9009aa79bc Generate derived documents' members and require [Key] on every one
The generator walked only members declared on the document class and emitted
a codec only when those were dense, so a derived document's generated
descriptor hashed a different schema id and catalog than the reflective one.
It now discovers members along the base-type chain the way
CultDocumentRegistry reflects them (public instance fields and get/set
properties, inherited included, [IgnoreMember] excluded), and density is
over that full set: RoutingWeapon : RoutingGear gets a codec and the same
SchemaId and catalog (Name@0, Damage@1) from both builds.

Unkeyed members made the two orderings disagree (generator by name, registry
by metadata token). Both implicit-slot paths are deleted: an unkeyed
persisted member of a [CultDocument] type is generator error GCC001, and the
registry throws the same message. The consumer audit found no unkeyed
document with a persisted store.

Tests: GeneratedAndReflectiveDescriptorsAgreeForDerivedDocuments failed on
ea5a07b ("no generated codec for the derived document") and passes through
UpsertWeaponThroughGearHandleReloadsAsWeapon; UnkeyedDocumentMemberIsRejected
drives the generator through Roslyn and compares its diagnostic with the
registry's exception. The registry's reflective BuildDescriptor is internal
and visible to the tests for that comparison. The registry-collision fixture's
emitted field gains its [Key]; schema-compatibility fixture ids are unchanged.

ea5a07b37a Own serialization options by the document's assembly
The static UntrustedData options are gone. An assembly declares its formatter
resolvers with [assembly: CultCacheFormatterResolver(typeof(R))];
CultDocumentMessagePackSerialization.OptionsFor(assembly) composes them ahead
of CultDocumentResolver and StandardResolver, once per assembly, and hands
assemblies that declare nothing the base Options. Generated codecs and the
reflective SerializeUntyped/DeserializeUntyped path both read
OptionsFor(typeof(X).Assembly). No registration call, no mutable options, no
load order.

CultMessagePackSecurity copies UntrustedData and supplies a collision-resistant
comparer over CultRecordRef<T>.Key.Value, so ref-keyed dictionaries
deserialize.

Tests: RefKeyedDictionaryRoundTrips failed on 825b4f7 ("No hash-resistant
equality comparer available"); DeclaredResolverEncodesValueTypeAsPositionalArray
and UnknownAssemblyGetsBaseOptions did not compile there (new API);
InteropNoteBytesUnchanged is a pin whose payload constant was captured on
825b4f7. BenchItem, the one unkeyed [CultDocument] in any consumer (in-memory
benchmark, no store), gains [Key]s in its existing slot order.

6fcc2a7704 Stop MessagePack's source generator flowing to consumers
A direct MessagePackAnalyzer reference with PrivateAssets="all" in
Caching.MessagePack and Networking keeps MessagePack 3's generator out of
consumer builds, where it emitted a reference to a nonexistent

generated resolver.

825b4f7d26 Mirror snapshots carry the cache Sequence they reflect
ObserveAsync, ReactiveAsync and RefreshAsync read a snapshot without a
Sequence, so an older change admitted before the read but delivered after it
overwrote the newer value.

CultCache.GetWithSequence(key) returns the document and the cache's Sequence,
read together under the gate. A cache-backed CultMesh handle passes it to its
mirrors; each mirror subscribes first, then adopts the sequenced read under its
own gate and takes that Sequence as applied, so a straggler at or below it
drops. RefreshAsync on both mirrors uses the same adoption path. Public Mesh
surface unchanged. The read is non-generic because the Mesh route needs the
untyped document for same-schema conversion.

Contract: only Watch/WatchRecord changes carry Sequence; OnUpdate-derived
CultNet streams have no ordering or stale protection; schema-alias handles and
removals are not stale-protected; the sequence constructor argument changed
CultCacheDocumentChange<T>'s binary signature.

Tests: ObserveAfterNewerSnapshotIgnoresStraggler and
RefreshIgnoresStragglerOlderThanSnapshot (observed and reactive cases) fail on
4562340; SequencedReadReflectsEveryChangeAtOrBelowItsSequence.

456234018f Carry order as data: per-cache change Sequence, no delivery scheduler
bcae483 made the cache a delivery scheduler (tickets, _deliveryGate turn
waits, per-thread delivery queues). It deadlocked inside CultLib: a load's
delivery reaching a CultNetDatabaseSubscriptionServer observer that needs
_lifecycleGate, while a subscribe's demand handler holding that gate writes
the cache and waits for the delivery's turn.

The cache now owns order as data. Every admitted change takes the next value
of a per-cache in-memory sequence under the gate, published as
CultCacheDocumentChange<T>.Sequence. Delivery is the 544c087/b653f68 rule:
each call publishes its own changes on its own thread after releasing the
gate; nothing waits on another call's delivery. Cross-thread delivery order is
not guaranteed.

Deleted: ticket counter, _delivered, _deliveryGate, Monitor.Wait turns,
per-thread delivery queues, per-ticket catch-all, and the save-order contract
text with its observer-must-not-block rule.

Consumer: a cache-backed CultMesh document handle hands its observed and
reactive mirrors each snapshot's Sequence; ApplyCanonicalSnapshot drops one
not newer than the last applied.

Tests: SequenceIncreasesInAdmissionOrder,
ObserverWritingTheSameCacheDoesNotWaitOnOtherDeliveries,
SubscriptionDemandHandlerWritingCacheDuringDeliveryDoesNotDeadlock,
WatchRecordIgnoresStaleSequence. The last three time out on bcae483.

bcae4839d0 Deliver each cache's changes in save order
The outermost hold takes a ticket under the gate and, after releasing it,
waits on a per-cache delivery gate for its turn, delivers, then advances
the turn. Delivery order across threads equals admission order. A hold
closed while its thread is delivering queues its ticket behind that
delivery on the same thread instead of waiting, so an observer writing
the cache cannot deadlock against a writer: a waiting thread holds no gate
and no turn, and a turn holder never waits.

Hand-over-hand from the gate to a delivery lock was rejected: a writer
blocked on the delivery lock while holding the gate deadlocks with an
observer that writes the same cache.

b653f68f81 Route every admitting gate entry through a hold
FlushAllBackingStores and Dispose take the gate through Held, so a store
method that loads can never reach Admit under a plain lock; Admit outside
a hold throws a clear InvalidOperationException. Entering a cache's hold
inside another cache's hold throws. PullAllBackingStoresAsync pulls every
store even when an OnUpdate handler throws, then rethrows. The dead Try
around Subject.OnNext is gone: R3 never throws there, so only OnUpdate
exceptions reach the caller. Repull tests wait for the writer to start
before their bounded wait.

544c087cf1 Publish each hold's own changes to its own caller
The cache-wide unpublished list let any thread drain and deliver another
thread's changes: a throwing observer dropped the rest of the queue and threw
into an unrelated writer, writes returned before their change was published,
and a third-party load could wait indefinitely.

Every admission now runs in a hold (Held). The outermost hold on a thread
collects exactly the changes it admits and publishes them after it leaves the
gate, before it returns, on its caller's thread; nested holds append to it.
Every change is delivered even when an observer throws; the first exception
(AggregateException for several) is then rethrown, and a failing body's own
exception wins over observer exceptions.

Stores take the hold instead of locking a shared Gate object, so a direct
PullAll on an attached store publishes its own load and the empty follow-up
Loaded hand-over is gone. Gate is replaced by protected Held.

Tests: OwnChangeIsPublishedBeforeWriteReturns and
ThrowingObserverDoesNotLoseOtherChanges fail on 4eacd87 and pass here. The
repull tests now record a write that reaches the gate while the pull is paused
instead of inferring readiness from thread state; both fail when the pull does
not hold the gate.

4eacd876bf Publish observers after the gate, gate every store entry point, stamp under one hold
Observers and OnUpdate never run under the cache gate. Admit queues changes
while the gate is held; the outermost entry point (attach, pull, commit,
upsert, remove) publishes them after releasing it. A store's direct PullAll
hands over an empty load outside its lock so the cache publishes then.

A throwing observer can no longer split store from cache: publication starts
only after the store has adopted its loaded view. The directory store adopts
its durable catalog only after the cache admits the load; the write-only
_durableIndex is deleted.

Single-file Push, Delete, PushAll and CommitBatch take the gate like the
directory store; Dispose flushes under it. Write mints storedAt and admits
under one gate hold, and Land re-stamps staged upserts under the gate that
admits them, so a concurrent pull cannot land a later storedAt in between.

Tests: ObserverDoesNotRunUnderTheGate,
ThrowingOnUpdateHandlerDoesNotResurrectDeletedRecord,
RepullNeverErasesAStagedWriteOnDirectoryStore,
DirectCallsOnAnAttachedStoreShareTheCacheGate; the directory last-writer
result is pinned to {a,c,x}; the single-file re-pull test waits for the write
to reach the store or block instead of sleeping. Pausing tests always release
the pause so a failure cannot deadlock Dispose.

Docs: observer rule, direct store calls share the gate, directory TryCommit
contention and gate wait, per-key last-writer-wins, directory flush merge.

5aad137e61 Share the cache gate with its stores and make unconditional commit last-writer-wins
An attached store takes its cache's gate as its own lock (CacheBackingStore.Gate),
so a pull's load callback into the cache can no longer take the gate after the
store lock. The directory store's private mutation gate is deleted; the
single-file pull now runs under the gate; PullAllBackingStoresAsync takes the
gate around each store's pull. Fixes the pull/upsert deadlock on directory
stores and the re-pull that erased a staged single-file write.

An unconditional single-file Commit writes the store's whole view plus the batch,
exactly as a flush would, instead of merging onto the file; it persists earlier
staged writes and leaves the store clean. Conditional commits still land onto
the file under the lock. Directory-store commit and flush already share one
generation writer (staged keys onto the current manifest) and are unchanged.

Contracts state both rules, the lock order, that OnUpdate fires for loads only,
that a missing single file keeps staged writes, and that a store failing to
hydrate on open throws and is left byte-identical.

Tests: PullAndUpsertOnDirectoryStoreDoNotDeadlock, RepullNeverErasesAStagedWrite,
UnconditionalCommitIsLastWriterWinsLikeFlush, UnconditionalCommitPersistsStagedWrites,

2a44209510 Refuse a key in two stores, stop reporting reader contention, prove lock waits and page order
F2: Validate refuses a write or load that would give a key already held by
one home store a second store; the message names the key and both stores and
nothing lands in either store or the cache.
F3: TryCommit enters the cache gate normally; only the store lock attempt is
non-blocking, so Contended means another writer holds the store.
F4: PushAll and Commit are shown to wait on a held <path>.lock; the race test
asserts mismatches occurred and that Task.WaitAll finished in time.
F5: a failed page write leaves the manifest bytes and the previous generation
intact.

Lock order (F1) and commit merge semantics (F6) are unchanged.

  a store is open, remove, upsert, flush. persistence-format: C# implements
  batch and conditional commit.

245eef6fb7 Restore directory store durability coverage with real file locks
Cut 2 deleted the stage probes and the tests that injected faults through them.
DirectoryStoreDurabilityTests takes the faults from held files instead:
FailedManifestReplaceKeepsPreviousGeneration,
SameStoredAtDifferentPayloadWritesADistinctPage, PullAllWaitsForHeldCommitLease,
MutationBlockedBehindFlushStaysDirty, FlushNeverOpensUnchangedPages,
MissingManifestIgnoresOrphanPagesAndFlushDeletesThem,
TamperedPageFailsLoadNamingPage.

The tampered page surfaces as an AggregateException from the parallel page
load whose message names the page; the test asserts the page is named.

a06d3f71f9 Prove conditional commit on single-file and directory stores
ConditionalCommitTests: StaleExpectFailsWithNothingChanged, ExpectNullIsCreateOnce,
PerEntryCommitSurvivesUnrelatedWrite, ExpectUnchangedFailsOnUnrelatedInsert,
TwoWritersRacingExactlyOneWins, TryCommitReportsContended,
PlainFlushNeverInterleaves, StoredAtIsStrictlyIncreasingPerKey,
DirtyStoreRefusesConditionalCommit, CrossStoreConditionalBatchThrowsBeforeAnyStore,
DirectoryStoreHonorsConditions (the four condition tests on a directory store).

The race is in-process: two store instances on one file, two threads, the
final count exactly 2 + 2N. The lock is a FileShare.None handle, which excludes
a second handle in this process exactly as in another, so the cross-process
TwoProcessesRacingExactlyOneWins and its console project are not added. Each
writer's mismatch is scripted before the free race, so "each writer reports at
least one mismatch" does not depend on scheduling.

PlainFlushNeverInterleaves counts an open that loses to a replace in flight as
no read; every read that gets bytes must deserialize.

ffdecf7e26 Turn the store-routing tests green and cover routing, batches and loads
Cut 1's fixtures are rewritten as the cut map names: LoadingNeverWritesASecondStore
attaches its second store with a home type, and the global fixture is a real
[CultGlobal] type instead of a reflected backing field.

New: RoutedStoresWriteTheSameBytesAsSingleStores, CatalogRecordNeverLandsInRunStore,
AttachAfterDirtyThrows, SecondUntypedStoreThrows, DuplicateHomeTypeThrows,
WriteWithoutHomeThrows, ForeignRecordIsRefusedOnLoad,
LateRouteOverAdmittedTypeThrows, ReadOnlyStoreRefusesWrites,
ReadOnlyStoreIsNotFlushed, GlobalSingletonIsEnforced,
AmbiguousAssignableLookupThrows, BatchIsAllOrNothingOnStoreFailure,
BatchAcrossTwoHomesThrows, BatchObserversSeeOnlyCommittedRecords,
BatchReadsSeeCommittedStateOnly, SingleUpsertAndBatchShareOneAdmissionPath,
PullAllAdmissionFailureLeavesStoreAndCacheConsistent,
StoreAttachedToSecondCacheThrows.

Two readings where the map could not be followed literally:
- LateRouteOverAdmittedTypeThrows: "the reverse order succeeds" cannot hold
  with the same untyped file holding a Note, because a Note loaded from the
  untyped store when a Note route exists is a foreign record. The reverse case
  puts the Note in the routed store and a RoutingOther in the untyped one.
- BatchIsAllOrNothingOnStoreFailure: the fault is the store file held open
  without delete sharing, so the atomic replace fails, instead of a PushAll
  override; the single-file commit no longer routes through PushAll.

a3cc394241 Route each document type to one home store; attach hydrates; commit explicit batches
Cut 3 of the CultCache migration (Aetheria docs/cultcache-migration-cut.md, 2.1
and 2.2). One commit, because routing, the batch that replaces the ambient
transaction, and conditional commit share one admission path.

Deleted first:
- globals: InitializeGlobals, MaterializeMissingGlobals, the two-argument
  constructor, the initializeGlobals plumbing in CultCacheMessagePack,
  ContainsDurableRecord (cache and directory store)
- replication: the push-to-every-store loops and the attach-time push of
  existing records
- typeof(T) as the schema owner in AddAsync/UpsertAsync and in
  CultNetDatabase.PutAsync/PutPredictedAsync
- the ambient transaction: ExecuteTransactionAsync x2, CultCacheTransaction,
  CommitTransaction, VisibleStoredDocuments, the AsyncLocal, the SemaphoreSlim
  gate, and every ambient check
- CultCacheOpenOptions.PullOnOpen; OpenAsync is Task.FromResult(Create(...))
- DirectoryMessagePackBackingStore.ResolveLegacyUncataloguedRecordCatalog: the
  catalog precommit (fe55bff) is an ancestor of the v4 page format (eea8248),
  so no v4 manifest can reach it
- CultCache.DeleteAsync<T>; its one caller, CultNetDatabaseSubscriptionClient,
  called it by reflection and now calls Remove(key)

Added:
- AddBackingStore(store, params Type[] homes): attach validates (clean, not
  already attached, one untyped store, no claimed home type, no admitted
  record changes home) and then pulls under the gate
- Home(type): most derived routed home, else the untyped store
- Admit: every add and remove, from a write, a batch or a load, validates
  (home, read-only, loaded-from-home, global singleton), lands durably, then
  applies and publishes; a pull hands its whole delta over in one call, so a
  refused record leaves the store and the cache unchanged
- read-only stores (CacheBackingStore(readOnly), both store constructors,
  CultCacheOpenOptions.ReadOnly); flush skips them and writes only dirty stores
- assignable GetGlobal<T>/GetByName<T>/GetByIndex<T>/Watch<T>; more than one
  candidate throws naming them
- Commit(Action<CultCacheBatch>) returning bool, TryCommit returning
  CultCommitOutcome, CultCacheBatch (Upsert, Remove, Expect, ExpectUnchanged,
  sealed after commit), CultCommitRequest; CacheBackingStore.CommitBatch
  evaluates conditions under the store's exclusive lock
- single-file store: <path>.lock sidecar for CommitBatch and PushAll; a clean
  store commits onto the file as it is, so records it never loaded survive
- storedAt minted in one place and bumped a tick when not later than the record
  it replaces

Consumer adjustments in this repo: Mesh streaming tests drop PullOnOpen; the
Studio bridge stops reflecting on it; BackingStoreTests' global test creates
its global explicitly and its transaction tests are rewritten against Commit
(the two that proved ambient hydration rules are deleted); the pre-Cut 2
refusal test expects the attach to throw.

b6905c2c1c Pin stores written before Cut 2 with checked-in fixtures
Fixtures were produced by CultLib 0db1fe5 from a temporary worktree: a v4
directory store and a v1 single-file store holding the same three records.
Tests reopen both and assert every value, and assert the directory store
refuses v1, v1.directory, v2 and v3 manifests without touching the bytes.

AquaSynth\src\AquaSynth.Core\CultCachePatchDocument.cs:104 calls
cache.TryGet(key, out CultCachePatchDocument? document). The map's grep

900e148d8a Read only v4 directory stores; delete probes and selective hydration
DirectoryMessagePackBackingStore loses HydrationFilter, FlushStageProbe,
ReadStageProbe and their stage constants, ReadPersistedGeneration,
PullSelected, and every legacy path: the v2 directory-indexed and v3
immutable-pages formats, v1 inline records and split pages, the index
upgrade on flush, and the legacy page paths. CacheBackingStore.PullSelected
and CultPersistedRecordMetadata go with them.

A missing manifest is an empty store. An existing manifest whose
FormatVersion is not cultcache.store.v4.directory-content-addressed-pages
throws "Directory store {path} is {format}; only {v4} is readable." A clean
flush writes nothing, since there is no legacy index left to upgrade.

Tests deleted with the surface they injected through: the v1 missing-catalog
load, pages-before-manifest, fault-before-manifest (4 cases), same-timestamp
page, mutation-during-flush and reader-lease tests. The orphan-page test now
checks through a fresh store pull instead of ReadPersistedGeneration.

59410fc474 Delete unused CultCacheOpenOptions callbacks and directory overrides
ConfigureCache, ConfigureStore, DirectoryStorePath, DirectoryStoreHydrationFilter
and ConfigureDirectoryStore had no consumer outside tests. CreateCore attaches
the directory store at its default record path, or the single-file store,
with no customization hooks. OpenAsync keeps its behavior (pull, then
materialize missing globals); PullOnOpen stays until Cut 3.

The indexed-filter test loses its selective-open half and keeps the v4
manifest assertions: the hot index carries only the SHA-256 page identity and
both records reload.

85f2089f0e Delete CultCache wrappers and unused members
Removes FlushBackingStore, both PrepareForReloadOrShutdown overloads,
PullBackingStoreRecordsAsync, TryGet<T>, TryGetByName, TryGetByIndex,
Resolve<T>, the cache and store Logger, and LastSuccessfulFlushAtUtc on the
cache and stores. GetStoredDocuments<T> folds into GetAll<T>.

The soft flag goes from FlushAllBackingStores, ExecuteTransactionAsync,
CommitBatch and PushAll. It stays on FlushAsync(bool) because
CultCacheStudioWindow reflects on that signature until Cut 6.
CultMesh.FlushAsync and CultNetLocal.FlushAsync keep their parameter and
stop forwarding it.

The store's EntryAdded/EntryUpdated/EntryDeleted subjects become
protected internal Loaded/Unloaded callbacks set by the cache at attach.
AddStoredDocumentInternal is synchronous, so the GetAwaiter().GetResult()
bridges on the store subscriptions and the global materializer are gone.

Tests: drop the LastSuccessfulFlushAtUtc asserts; OpenAsync and GetAll tests
read through Get/GetAll; the persisted-global test proves the durable global
loads without staging a default instead of going through selective hydration;
the lease-before-observers test observes through CultCache.Watch; the
PullSelected selective-hydration test is deleted.

Conditional commit, not plain flush, is what protects against unseen data.
C# batch and conditional commit are specified, not implemented. Home-type
claims use exact equality. TypeScript attach does not read. CultMath has no
encoding. Reflective and generated descriptors differ until Cut 4. Routing
tests now check the inherited Name, the global flag precondition, and that a

One home store per document type, attach is hydration, loading never writes,
