The older-layout reader refused the second current-layout entry on its own, so an unconditional fallback still refused the vector.
With one entry, only a store not in the older layout is refused for its malformed slot, and the fallback's condition is pinned.

cultnet-py resolves a raw record whose schema id no document lists by the schema version its payload opens with, and three
cultmesh-py tests (foreign UI-generated ids) depend on it, so that resolution is restored pending a ruling. The compatible-id
replication test goes through the real apply_raw_document_record and the reopened store.

The single-file and directory writers dropped an entry whose own id no record carried, leaving a record under a compatible id with
no catalog entry that publishes it: the same store nothing could open. An entry now stays while it publishes any id a record
carries. The conditional-commit readability test over compatible-id-only-v3 pins it.

put_envelope, put_envelopes and load stamp the registered schema's id, and the store writer publishes every record's id, so a

putEnvelope and admission stamp the registered schema's id, and the store writer publishes every record's id (the entry the
envelope carries when it lists that id, else a default), so a replicated record under a compatible id no longer leaves a store
nothing can open. cultnet-ts stops preserving the incoming id. The inspector refuses a store of the wrong slot count and a record
whose schema the catalog does not publish, instead of recovering one from the payload.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A record whose schema id the catalog lists only as a compatible id now opens (the cache resolved a persisted schema by entry id
alone). CultMesh's fallback to the older catalog-entry reader fires only for a store in that layout, decided by the entry's slot 5,
not for any decode failure, so a current-layout store with a malformed slot is refused as CultCache refuses it.
CultStoreUnreadableException.Path names the refused file. New vectors: compatible-id-only-v3 (accepted by all four) and three
current-layout catalogs with one malformed slot. The contract states the writer's invariant.

Rust, TypeScript and Python each had a test that a record missing its catalog entry is recovered from its payload; each now asserts
the store is unreadable.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The persistence contract requires the catalog to publish every schema its records name and specifies no recovery, so the catalog
is the store's own description: Rust, TypeScript and Python stop inferring a schema name from a payload's first field, as C#
never did, and a store naming an unpublished schema is unreadable in all four. missing-schema-versioned-v3 pins it with payloads
that open with a schema version.

variant-slot-v3 overrides the variant's name, which the reader requires of a variant, so C# reads it and the others refuse the
fifth slot. The legacy-layout catalog vectors carry an entry per schema, so a store the reader accepts differs from the one it
refuses only by the bytes after it. missing-schema-v3 is refused by C# too.

C# read such a store on flush and commit and refused it on open, with an untyped InvalidOperationException from the cache. The
store reader now refuses it with CultStoreUnreadableException, so open, flush and commit give one verdict, as Rust, TypeScript
and Python already do. The readability open test builds a cache with a codec, so a variant store opens as it would in use.

The refusal is a ValueError subclass with the cause chained. A store with more than three slots is refused instead of read.

pushAll, push and delete read the file through the one store reader that pullAll uses, so a store holding a variant or a bad

push_all and every rewrite read the file through the one store reader (framing, header, schema catalog, records), so a v3
store holding a variant or a bad body is no longer replaced by a header-only check. The refusal is one typed error with the
cause as its source. The readability test walks every vector in the folder, asserts the error type and the header a replaced
file carries, and the truncated v1 and v2 stores are refused again.

A store refused for its framing, slot count or a record keeps that refusal instead of being re-read with the older layout, so

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 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 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.

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.

MPL-2.0 is file-level and the Phacelle port sat inside MIT files. phacelle and

in CultMath.Phacelle.hlsl (included by CultMath.hlsl, both tracked copies), each
with the MPL header and Johansen / Luke Mitchell attribution. math stays one
partial class, so math.phacelle is called exactly as before. The GameCult.Math
package declares MIT AND MPL-2.0 and packs THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md and the new

The random sweeps never met a cell whose box bound sits just under the 2.25 cut
while its weight is still nonzero, so cuts of 2.245, 2.24 and 2.2 survived.
Six hard-coded points (found by an offline search) sit next to such cells; the
C# pruned-vs-unpruned test and the HLSL mirror test both use them, with a
witness check that re-derives the property from the hash.

CultElementIds.Holds is the one fact a store marks its header by; a test now
drives it directly over a dictionary value, a list of lists, a list under an

Soul's mutant deleting the empty-file arm of write_all_unlocked survived: no
test rewrote a zero-byte file. Without the arm the empty file reaches
store_header and is refused as truncated. The test pushes onto a zero-byte

A rewrite read the header of the file it replaces but not whether the file was
a store: C# ReadStoreHeader skipped one value and ignored bytes after it, and
took a non-array value or an array whose first slot is a string that is not a
store header for a headerless legacy file (so did the C# Mesh raw write, which
uses it); TypeScript's pushAll took any non-array value or non-header first slot
for v1; Rust ignored bytes after the array.
The rule, one per runtime: a file is a store on rewrite only when it is exactly
one complete MessagePack array. Bytes after it, a value that is not an array,
and a first slot that is a string but not a header this runtime reads are
refused, and the file is left untouched. An empty file and a legacy envelope
array (first slot not a string, empty included) carry no header and are still
rewritten.
- C#: ReadStoreHeader refuses non-array values, trailing bytes and a non-header
first string, with a NotSupportedException naming which.
- TypeScript: storeHeader (store-format.ts) decides the rewrite header;
@msgpack/msgpack's decode already refuses trailing bytes.
- Rust: store_header(bytes, whole) walks with a cursor; the rewrite path asks
for the whole file, the read paths keep reading as before.
- Python: push_all already reads the whole file (unpackb refuses trailing
bytes, the legacy decoder refuses anything but a list of maps); pinned by a
test.
Tests in each runtime run the same file matrix (truncated, trailing, scalar,
map, string first; empty, empty array, legacy), plus a C# unconditional commit
over a store with trailing bytes and the C# Mesh raw write.

The generic mirror comparison passes about a hundred inputs through the shader and

SingleFileBackingStore.PushAll replaced the file without reading it, so a
truncated store or one in a format this runtime does not read was clobbered,
where Rust, TypeScript and Python refuse. PushAll now reads the header of a
non-empty file under the lock before it writes; a file it cannot read throws
and is left as it was. An empty file and a legacy envelope array carry no
header and are still replaced.
The header is read by the store's codec: SingleFileBackingStore gains a
protected virtual ReadStoreHeader (default: read the whole snapshot), and the
MessagePack store overrides it with
CultDocumentMessagePackSerialization.ReadStoreHeader. An unconditional commit
reads the file it rewrites through the same check.
Doc text: last-writer-wins now says it holds only over a file the writer can
read (CultCache.cs PushAll comment, cultcache-persistence-format.md
"Conditional commit is the only safe multi-process write" and writer rule 4,
cultcache-store-composition.md "A plain flush and an unconditional commit are
last-writer-wins").

design.md names CultPhasor as the second struct-return consumer and describes
phacelle (stripe wave vector, weight, normalization, exact gradient and its two
discontinuity classes, exact pruning). THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md, in both the package
root and the Unity package, cites Rune Skovbo Johansen's Phacelle Noise (MPL-2.0)
and records that the 3D-cell generalisation, the caller-supplied side vector, the
exact gradient and the exact pruning are new.

Cut 2a-ii-b. phacelle(float3 p, float3 side, float offset, float normalization)
returns CultPhasor { float4 cos; float4 sin }, each float4(gradient.xyz, value.w).
- 4x4x4 cells, pcg3d-hashed jitter in [-0.5, 0.5), weight max(0, exp(-2 d^2) - 0.01111),
normalization as upstream (lpmitchell/AdvancedTerrainErosion PhacelleNoise). The
caller supplies the stripe wave vector; offset is in cycles.
- The gradient is exact: weight derivatives and the normalization are included, not
upstream's grad(cos) ~ -sin * side.
- Cells whose per-axis lower bound is at least 2.25 have weight exactly 0 and are
skipped. An internal overload switches the prune off so the test can pin bit
equality without a second copy of the loop.
- cultmath_phacelle and CultPhasor mirror it in both tracked CultMath.hlsl copies
(the same blob). The mirror test compares the struct field by field; it now covers
34 functions.
- PhacelleTests: value against an independent double-precision reference, quarter-cycle
phase rotation, gradient against central differences on both sides of the
normalization threshold (excluding the threshold and each cell's weight-support
edge, where the exact gradient is discontinuous), stripes along the flow on the unit
sphere (0.215 against the 0.25 bound), step-difference continuity across cell planes,
and pruned == unpruned bit for bit.

A record's HoldsIds was decided by its admission and trusted afterwards, so a
document changed after it was committed, or loaded and changed in place,
flushed under the header its admission-time content needed (Soul P7, P10).
HoldsIds now has one owner, the record's stored form, read when asked:
- a plain record: CultElementIds.Holds over its document, a scan that reads
and refuses nothing;
- a variant: the same scan over each override value, decoded with the codec
the record was built with (the cache's, or the attached cache's at load);
- a variant built with no codec (a store that loaded it with no cache) cannot
see its values and counts as holding an id, so a store never writes an
unmarked header over ids it could not see.
Cut: the admission path that set HoldsIds on plain records, on variants from
their resolved copies, and on flattened records; the internal setter and its
backing flag; IdPlan.HeldIds and IdPlan.HoldsIds. The Mesh typed write reads
Holds off the document it writes. Admission keeps its own id counting
(IdPlan.Count) for IdsInMemoryOnly.
Tests: an id added to a committed or loaded deck after admission marks a

counts as holding ids while the same record read with one does not.
