The merge tests become the refuse, reload, retry rule; new tests pin copied records that
cannot be decoded, the later storedAt over a replaced record, a batch that removes a staged
key, and a Mesh write into a variant store. The persistence and composition contracts state
the rule for the parity cuts.

New WriteSetTests (single-file and directory stores, flush and commit): another writer's write and
removal survive, a store that appeared after open is kept, an unstaged in-place change is not
written, a copied record keeps the catalog entry the store holds now, an entry's unknown trailing
fields survive byte for byte, conditional and unconditional commits write the same bytes, the
header drops only when every copied record is known id-free, v2 exactly with a variant. Mesh: a
write copies neighbours forward and replaces only its key. The lay-back and whole-view tests and
the flush-restamp tests are rewritten or removed with the rules they pinned.

CultMesh's single-file reader had its own zero-length-means-empty branch, so a Mesh write
replaced a zero-byte file the cache refuses (merge-r1-precedence). It now asks the cache's
snapshot reader and gets its verdict. The auto-merged test that read a same-schema instance
through MeshNoteAliasDocument cannot be built under retire-schema-alias; it now states the
ownership rule it protected (a database serves only what a shard owns) with the one type.

CultStoreUnreadableException (a NotSupportedException) is the one refusal for a store file this runtime cannot read, thrown
by the single-file reader, the rewriting paths and CultMesh's reads, with the cause as the inner exception. The reader is exactly
one array of three slots (or an empty array): a header alone and an extra top-level slot are refused instead of read as empty or
skipped. CultMesh's older-catalog fallback is the same reader with the older entry reader, so it also requires one array.
Vectors: bad-body, header-only, missing-schema, variant-slot, extra-top-slot in the readability set, and a legacy-catalog store
with and without bytes after it for CultMesh. The persistence contract says what is true.

The raw-write refusal test spelled the old header-only verdict (NotSupported for
a first slot that is a string, a legacy array replaced). The shared vector test
now drives both write paths; the old test keeps only the marked-file case.

A rewrite replaces a file only when the runtime's own reader opens it. C#
drops ReadStoreHeader (a second, header-only verdict that let a flush replace
files the reader refuses) and asks DeserializeSnapshot from open, flush and
commit; the reader now requires exactly one array, so C# refuses bytes after
the store on read as TS and Python do. A zero-byte file is an empty store for
all three paths. CultMesh.WriteSingleFileDocument reads the file it replaces
through the Mesh reader before writing. Rust reads and rewrites through one
classification (trailing bytes refused on read; a non-store first slot must be a
legacy envelope array the reader accepts). TypeScript checks a legacy array with
pullAll's own decoder before replacing it. Python already conformed.
Shared byte vectors and per-runtime verdicts live in
tests/vectors/document-variants-c2a/readability; every runtime's test reads
them. Holds gains second-dictionary-value and second-list-item cases. The
persistence format contract now marks v3 by content and states the readability
rule.
