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.

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.

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.

SchemaStampedTestEntry was only used by the v1 missing-catalog load test
deleted with the legacy directory formats. The Caching tests README now
describes what the suite covers after the subtraction, including the ambient
transaction tests kept until Cut 3 and the red store-routing contract tests.

SerializeSchemaCatalog and DeserializeSchemaCatalog had no consumer outside
the snapshot round-trip test. Catalog entries still serialize inside
SerializeSnapshot/DeserializeSnapshot through the same per-entry
reader and writer, and the round-trip test now checks the catalog through the
snapshot.

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.

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.

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.

Removes CultSoaTable, CultSoaColumn, CultCacheSoaStore, CultCacheSoaTypeTable,
CultCacheSoaMember, CultCache.Soa<T>, the _soa field and its four hooks, and
the two tests that exercised them (with their TransformEntry and
MeshManagedPlayer fixtures). The last working form is at
parked/cultcache-soa.

Introduced Newtonsoft.Json-backed persistence.
Improved backing-store reliability and serialization across the caching stack.
Improved networking security posture.
Key changes:
- Add new GameCult.Caching.NewtonsoftJson project with SingleFile/MultiFile backing stores and polymorphic known-type envelopes.
- Add MessagePack helper serialization (DatabaseEntrySerialization) and update MessagePack backing stores to use the shared options/resolver; add DatabaseLink formatter and generator/analyzer docs.
- Update CultLib.sln to include the new projects and new caching tests project.
- Improve CultCache persistence behavior: track pending store operations, wait for operations on PullAll, and centralize async push handling with error logging.
- Harden file I/O in multi-file/single-file stores: atomic temp-file writes, safe Replace/Move semantics, rename-safe deletes, and improved file-watcher subscription and debounce disposal.
- Add README files and documentation for several subprojects and packaging projects.
These changes add JSON persistence support, improve serialization consistency, and make on-disk operations more robust and observable.
