Cut 1: one watermark owns ordered delivery, seeded only by the handshake.
Cut 1b: every ending drops what the session still owed; flush is bound
to its generation. Cut 1c: a Connect repeats only by its sequence;
stale data and stale Connects are handled as TCP does (challenge Ack);
an unanswered attempt retries at +window-1; the session draws its
initial sequence. Wire bytes unchanged in all four runtimes. Five Soul
passes. Public option types changed: initial_sequence is optional.

While a Connect awaits its Accept, only an Accept the client honours retires it. An Ack that names the Connect (a server's reply to a repeat or a stale copy) no longer wedges the client with nothing to resend. The Connect payload lives on the session, so a fresh attempt can always be built. The fresh attempt uses the abandoned sequence plus the receive window less one (serial), so a late copy of the abandoned Connect stays inside the new one's stale window; only a session's first Connect draws at random.

A frame at or before the seeded watermark is a duplicate of an earlier generation and is acknowledged, never delivered again (serial compare within the receive window). A Connect that precedes the current generation's within the window is a stale copy of an earlier attempt: it is answered like a repeat (Accept owed or Ack), changes no state and does not refresh liveness. A Connect unanswered for 3 s is replaced by a fresh Connect with a newly drawn sequence and the same payload. In server mode a Connect from another endpoint is always a new generation. The initial sequence is unset by default and each session draws its own; the public random helper is removed.
An accepted peer now stamps its liveness on accept, so one that goes silent times out.

F1: RecordUnappliedEntry keeps the primary's wire entry on the in-memory log
entry (internal Relayed) and ToLogEntryMessage returns it through the same
normalisation the store uses, so a replica with no store no longer relays a
skipped put as a delete; memory and disk relay identically.
Soul's 4d probes are committed (chained replica keeps the row, key-prefixed
reads serve only owned keys, primary-all serves everything; the two
measurements are explicit) with a memory/disk relay-parity test.
Rust: captured-bytes cases for unowned_schema and variant_unsupported (with and
without a subscription).
The error-code set is stated as a closed enum in the schema description (both
copies) and in cultnet-distributed-database.md: adding a code is one
coordinated change across runtimes, since Rust and TypeScript refuse an unknown
code. The Soul 4c probe file's header says what it guards.

The string ResolveShard check was order-dependent in the full Mesh suite (schema id of a same-schema alias pair); GetAsync<object> uses the descriptor path and adds no helper.

A bounded session whose queue still held an unacknowledged Accept for a peer
that vanished refused the next Connect; the old server-mode path reset before
accepting, so this would have been a regression. accept_connect and
create_connect now end the generation first in every runtime, and a test per
runtime holds a one-slot queue to it.

The dispose test showed journal-first alone still lost the change: Dispose won the race against the writer's publication and cleared the stash. Dispose now drains the stash through the publisher after the journal is disposed (so nothing is stashed afterwards) and before the subject completes.

Q1: HandlePutAsync/HandleDeleteAsync catch a CultNetShardLogException (or an
AggregateException holding one) before the generic catch and answer nothing: the
write committed and was published, so the peer is not told it was refused. It is
logged at warning level. The wire has no committed-with-degraded-log message.
Q2: GetAsync/GetAll/GetByName/GetByIndex, the shard-less snapshot, the selection
and the subscription snapshot serve only rows a shard owns, so read and watch
agree; the CultMesh collections follow through GetAll, and the Mesh untyped
variant fallback checks ownership. The raw cache still holds everything.
Q3: a replica log apply skips a row its shard does not own, as the snapshot path
does, and still records the entry so a chained replica sees no gap.
API: rowFilter is internal (public CreateSelectionResponse and
CreateRawSnapshotResponse signatures restored, internal overloads added);
exception tags on the write methods; Commit's unwrap rule is XML doc; the
unowned refusal answers on the wire with code unowned_schema (schema enum in both
copies, Rust CultNetErrorCode, CultNetErrorMessage.ForUnownedSchema) and put and
delete log it at warning level.
Dispose keeps journal-first; a test now fails if the observer goes first.

The session records the sequence of the Connect that started its generation. A
Connect repeats exactly when the session is connected and carries that
sequence; anything else ends the generation, forgets the peer and accepts a new
one. AcceptConnect answers both, ConnectRepeats is the predicate for servers
that keep one session per peer, and AnswerRepeatedConnect is private. Server
mode admits a Connect from a new endpoint and the session decides; the listener
no longer compares payloads (the payload stays application evidence).
CreateConnect on a session that has had a peer starts a new generation. An
Accept counts only while the Connect is pending and only if it names it. The
watermark is seeded by the Connect or Accept alone; reliable data before that
is neither remembered, acknowledged nor delivered. The default initial sequence
is random in [1, 2^31) in every options type. An ICMP connection reset no
longer sets DisconnectReason: nothing ended. The interop peer flushes before it
disconnects.

ResolveShard now throws for an unowned schema, so one such cached row would
have failed the whole selection. The server passes a row filter
(CultNetDatabase.Owns) to CreateSelectionResponse, which gains an optional
rowFilter that SelectPage already took, so those rows are not part of what the
database serves and the rest is answered.

ResolveShardInternal throws CultNetUnownedSchemaException instead of falling
back to the first shard. PutAsync, DeleteAsync, PutPredictedAsync,
ApplyPutAsync and ApplyDeleteAsync refuse an unowned schema before the cache is
touched; a remote put reaches the server's generic catch and is answered as an
application rejection like any other refused remote put. ResolveShard throws
(documented), CanWriteAuthoritatively returns false, and a bare cache write no
shard owns is neither logged nor published. The unused string overload of
EnsureClientAuthority is deleted. No GameCult consumer configures shards
outside vendored CultLib copies; the default shard owns everything.

PutAsync and DeleteAsync carry no door, so the journal cannot place an unowned
schema and now skips it; accepting the write anyway was a silent loss of
replication. They resolve their shard strictly and throw
CultNetUnownedSchemaException (an InvalidOperationException naming the schema)
before the cache is touched. Doors keep the fallback shard they were resolved
to. No GameCult consumer configures shards outside vendored CultLib copies:
AetheriaEve's node uses the default PrimaryAll shard, which owns everything.

DomainKey, RequestKey and CutKey were plain strings marked [CultReference];
since e420410f (D11) the cache refuses a reference it cannot walk, and
every cache that registered the geometry catalog threw (7 tests red since
2026-09-22). The wire is unchanged. Geometry gains a reference to
GameCult.Caching.MessagePack for the formatter.

F1: InitializeLogSequencesFromStore raises the in-memory floor to the highest
gap above the store's compaction point, so a restart after a double refusal or
an interrupted compaction answers compacted_history instead of a gapped log.
F2: the journal raises one CultNetShardLogException per call carrying every
burned (shard, sequence); the unwrap rule for a cache-aggregated hold is
documented on the exception and on the cache commit.
F3: TakeDoor no longer refuses a door whose instance is the cached one, so
mutate-then-predict publishes Predicted and is not logged.
F6: a door-less change no shard matches is not logged; doors keep the
fallback shard they were resolved to.
Dispose disposes the journal before the observer. The log store doc says a
slow store blocks cache readers. Soul F4 is ignored as an accepted follow-up,
M1 is explicit.

The Phacelle merge added the public CultMath value type CultPhasor without
its Caching adapters, failing the every-public-type tests. Register it the
way CultCellular is: {"cos","sin"} objects in JSON (which also gives the
dictionary-key form) and a [cos, sin] array in MessagePack. The adapters are
Caching code and stay MIT; only CultPhasor.cs itself is MPL-2.0.

The MessagePack source generator cannot resolve CultRecordRef<T> on its own and
emitted a broken formatter reference; MessagePackKnownFormatter on the open
generic did not change that. An explicit MessagePackFormatter per member is the
same formatter the cache resolver uses, so the wire stays a key string.

The MessagePack source generator emitted a broken formatter reference for the
CultRecordRef<T> reference members. Declaring CultRecordRefFormatter<> a known

e420410f (D11) refuses a reference member whose CLR shape the cache cannot
walk; many:false needs CultRecordRef<T>. CultGeometryBuildRequest.DomainKey,
CultGeometrySelectedCutManifest.RequestKey and CultGeometryChunkArtifact.CutKey
were strings marked [CultReference], so registering the geometry catalog threw
and 7 geometry tests failed on main. All three are record keys of another
document, so the members become CultRecordRef<T> (the attribute is dropped, the
type declares the reference). The msgpack formatter writes a CultRecordRef as
its key string, so the wire bytes and the fingerprint inputs are unchanged.

The change kind in the door's wire entry was restated from the log entry by

Each session gets one private primitive that ends its current generation:
not connected, pending and queued writes dropped, generation advanced,
"ended" raised until the next Connect or Accept begins one. A peer's
Disconnect, a local disconnect, a timeout and a reset (refusal included) all
call it, and it leaves what was received from the peer alone. The socket
transports' flush captures the session generation and fails when it changes
or the session has ended, in all four runtimes; the disconnect reason and,
in TypeScript, the transport's generation pair are report-only or gone. Rust
receipts carry the generation in place of the session scope UUID, so a
receipt reads Invalidated after any ending and stays so after a reconnect.

The per-channel next pointer, its first-use initialisation, the skip over
other channels' sequences, and the per-channel drain are deleted. Each
session keeps one contiguous received-through watermark, seeded by the
peer's Connect or Accept (or the first packet of an unhandshaken session),
advanced in the received-sequence bookkeeping. Ordered frames wait in one
map keyed by first sequence, and every reliable receipt drains the frames at
or below watermark + 1 in sequence order, after the unordered frame of the
same call. A frame is held only while a sequence below it is missing, so a
5 MiB ordered frame with no gap is never held. Rust bounds what is still
held after the drain (frames, bytes, channels with held frames).

Cut 4b-4d of the publication map. The reorder buffer, drainer, prediction gate
and the logging inside the Watch handler are gone. The database registers the
Watch observer, then one cache journal. The journal runs under the gate in
Sequence order: it takes the door, decides the change kind and prediction
bookkeeping, logs (a primary mints, a replica records the primary's entry) and
stashes the change; the Watch observer publishes the stash entry by Sequence.
A primary that cannot log a committed change burns that sequence, raises its
own compaction floor, tries CompactThrough, and throws CultNetShardLogException
(not an InvalidOperationException) after publication. A replica's refused
append reaches the pull loop and the cursor does not advance.
Fixes four defects the map named: the log is appended to disk before memory
(and memory is a SortedList keyed by sequence); the snapshot reads its log
sequence before its documents; a restart resumes above the compaction point;
GetCompactedMutationLogSequence and GetLatestMutationLogSequence honour the
in-memory floor. The snapshot removal door sets Removal.

A stray, malformed, foreign-id or refused datagram is dropped and counted,
never fatal; a refused reliable frame ends the peer's session instead of
being acked and lost; flush fails once its session ends; one reliable
Accept per session; the TS operation service expires idle sessions and
survives a throwing handler. Four Soul passes; session-generation and
reconnect semantics move to the ack cut.

FlushReliable throws for writes an ended session forgot. A server-mode
transport and the listener answer a Connect from the peer they already hold
with AnswerRepeatedConnect: the Accept still owed, or an Ack, queueing
nothing. The listener replaced the peer session on every Connect, reusing
sequences and never reporting PeerDisconnected; it now replaces only on a
different connect payload and reports the old peer, as the Rust hub does.

AddJournal's Disposable.Create counted a refused dispose (from inside a journal
or another cache's hold) as done, leaving the journal registered forever. A
private registration now flips only after the removal succeeded. Held's catch
path dropped the hold's journal failures; it now throws an AggregateException
with the body's exception first. The store-composition contract states exactly
when the second getter read runs on a conditional commit. Adds the direct test
that a load is journaled.

CultNetRudpPacketCodec.Decode did checked((int)length), so a datagram declaring
0x80000000 threw OverflowException, which no receive loop catches; the length
is now compared as a long and takes the ordinary malformed-packet drop.
Server mode claimed its endpoint on the first datagram of any type; only a
Connect claims it now. A session that refuses a packet has already recorded
its reliable sequence, so the socket transport and the listener end it: the
session forgets the peer (so the goodbye does not acknowledge the refused
frame), the peer gets a Disconnect, the listener drops the peer and raises
PeerDisconnected, and a server-mode transport forgets its endpoint.
CultNetRudpSession gains ResetPeerState, and the session and the listener
reject an InitialSequence of uint.MaxValue.

CultCache.AddJournal registers an ordered admission journal. It is called under
the gate right after Apply, once per admission that changed something, with the
admission's changes (dependents included) in Sequence order, before any
observer. A journal that throws joins the hold's failures: the admission stands,
the other journals run, the change is published and the writer hears of it
afterwards. Any hold entered while a journal runs throws. A hold now carries its
own changes and failures. Order stays data; no delivery thread or scheduler is
added.

Judging the merge against the file re-runs Project for the records the commit
lands and for re-resolved variants, so "once per landing record" holds only for
the admission. Handing the plan's projections to Judging would not cover the
re-resolved dependents, so the contract now states the second read.

A hold whose body throws after it admitted changes still publishes them, and

Every public CultMath value type serializes: MessagePack in the default resolver
chain (byte-identical to Aetheria's and StreamPixels' copies across 653 values
and all 115 float fields of the real Aetheria.cc) and System.Text.Json converters
(STJ-parity number handling, math types as dictionary keys). CultVec2/3 and
CultRect are gone with bytes unchanged. The cultlib Unity package depends on
cultmath; the release gate refuses until CultMath 0.3.0 carries every type.
Three Soul passes.

Named literals now follow AllowReadingFromString and WriteAsString as
System.Text.Json's float does; quoted numbers refuse whitespace;
UnmappedMemberHandling.Disallow and AllowDuplicateProperties=false are honoured
and a repeated property replaces the whole value; dictionary keys read only the
canonical spelling. Components live in stack spans, property names are
pre-encoded, and there is no per-property closure, so a float3 read allocates
nothing (424 bytes before). Tests pin unknown nested values, de-DE and sv-SE
style cultures, and a distinct negative-zero key.

A malformed frame, a foreign connection id or a packet the session refuses

Delete the dead removed-ancestor branch and the duplicated name-read in the

One Scalar plus Node description per type now drives reading, writing and the

components throw JsonException instead of FormatException, property matching
honours PropertyNameCaseInsensitive, and every type works as a dictionary key

CultMathJson is the JSON twin of CultMathResolver: vectors, quaternion and
Color32 are objects keyed by field name, matrices are arrays of row objects,
rect is {min,max}. Consumers add them with AddCultMathConverters(); CultLib owns

them, with [JsonConstructor] so the struct constructor is used. The Caching

The cache no longer fans changes out through an R3 Subject. It keeps a
copy-on-write observer array and Publish catches per observer: every observer
receives every change, an exception that escapes (a fail-fast R3 handler) joins
the OnUpdate failures rethrown to the writer after delivery, and the observer
stays subscribed. Dispose completes observers, and a disposed cache completes
new ones at once. Deletes the false "OnNext does not throw" comment.
The composition contract now states the observer policy and that a throwing

Resolve now ends in Project, the only place an admission runs a [CultName] or
[CultIndex] getter on a landing record. It runs before land and before any
Sequence is minted, so a throwing getter refuses the admission (loads

index rules and the indexer read the projection; Apply runs no user code.

GameCult.Geometry no longer carries vector or rectangle values. CultCircle and
