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.

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.

Attaching a store with no file never calls Loaded, so it did not exercise the
rule; a commit removing a key the cache does not hold admits nothing.

A disposed R3 subscription ignores OnNext, so a no-op removal from the cache's
observer array cannot be seen by what a receiver gets; the test now checks the
cache stops holding the subscriber. An admission that changed nothing (a store
attached with no records) is not journaled.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

A hold whose body throws after it admitted changes still publishes them, and
Held now assigns its result up front so it compiles under Stryker Safe Mode
(CS0165 had dropped every mutant in it). Disposing a Watch subscription removes
the observer from the cache.

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.

Delete the dead removed-ancestor branch and the duplicated name-read in the
variant name rule (resolution already refuses a missing or removed base and a
variant shares its base type). Add tests for the index rule counting a record
the same commit removes, blank names not colliding, and Dispose rethrowing
escaped completions after every observer completed.

One Scalar plus Node description per type now drives reading, writing and the
dictionary-key spelling, replacing the per-value JsonDocument parse. NaN and the
infinities follow JsonNumberHandling (named literals or JsonException), floats
beyond float.MaxValue are refused instead of becoming infinity, out-of-range
components throw JsonException instead of FormatException, property matching
honours PropertyNameCaseInsensitive, and every type works as a dictionary key
spelled as comma-joined components.

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
no JSON options. CultCircle and CultSphere serialize and deserialize through
them, with [JsonConstructor] so the struct constructor is used. The Caching
README documents each MessagePack and JSON shape in one table.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Golden bytes now cover double2, double3, int3, int4, bool3, bool4, quaternion,
Color32, Random, float3x3 and CultCellular. A missing Color32 alpha decodes as
255, the constructor default. A test proves a consumer resolver registered for
the assembly wins over CultMathResolver. The redundant nil check is deleted;
ReadArrayHeader already refuses nil.

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
name or index getter refuses a change set, loads included.

Resolving a variant serializes its base, and the serializer reads the same

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
included) with nothing written, minted or left in memory. The variant name and
index rules and the indexer read the projection; Apply runs no user code.

CultMathResolver formats float2/3/4, double2/3, int2/3/4, bool2/3/4,
quaternion, Color32, Random, float2x2, float3x3, rect and CultCellular as
component arrays, and sits in the default CultCache resolver chain so no
consumer registers anything. It lives in GameCult.Caching.MessagePack, which
already owns that chain; CultMath core stays dependency-free.
Vector, rect and Aetheria-formatter byte shapes are pinned by golden tests, a
reflection test fails when a public CultMath value type has no formatter, and
decode skips extra elements and refuses nil.

Stryker survivors on the grouping diff: the no-declaration path, the

[CultInspectorGroupBy(nameof(A), nameof(B))] on a document class names the
members its record list groups by, outermost first. CultInspectorModel owns
the rest: GroupingOf validates the declaration (a refused one gives a flat
list and a notice), GroupRecords partitions RecordCandidates by value
identity with occupied values only, CreateInGroup builds the record a node
holds, RecordRefLabel owns None and Missing <key>. A variant groups by its
resolved Document.

RecordCandidates and the new IsRecordCandidate share one rule, so a

attributes are read with Attribute.GetCustomAttributes(member, true):
PropertyInfo.GetCustomAttributes ignores inherit, so a base abstract

- RefuseVariantIndexSharing built its holder list per landing record by scanning
every landing record, so opening a store with one variant was quadratic. It now
groups what lands once and looks each (index, value) up once. Pinned by a count
of index-accessor reads at two sizes, not a clock.
- JudgeMerge decoded every unseen disk record before Resolve could exit early,
so a plain-only store failed a conditional commit on another writer's schema it
does not register. It now judges only when the batch, the disk (by the record's
variant header, never its payload) or this cache holds a variant.
- Plain duplicates find the holder with the smallest key (ordinal), so the choice
is the same live, after a flush and after a reopen. The comment claiming "most
recently indexed" was wrong across reload.
- A dropped slot is reported once per record, not once by the schema diff and
again by the variant.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The held index kept one key per value, last writer winning, and RemoveKey dropped
a value outright. Two consequences: removing or changing one of two plain
holders left the other unfindable, and the variant index rule judged a variant
against that lossy view, so a variant could land on a value a plain record still
held and the store then refused to reopen.
- _indexes maps a value to the keys holding it, oldest first. Index, Unindex and
the removal maintain the set. GetByIndex finds the most recently indexed
holder of a value, so removing the winner finds the other (behaviour change for
plain duplicates: it used to find nothing).
- One rule, RefuseVariantIndexSharing, serves both write orders. It reads the
truthful index minus what the commit replaces or removes, plus what it lands.
ResolveOne no longer judges indexes; ClaimIncomingIndexValues, HeldByVariants
and RefusePlainSharingWithVariant are gone.
- A conditional commit merged onto the file is judged by the cache's own
resolution (CacheBackingStore.Judging) on the merged set: records other writers
added, records they removed, and the batch. Another writer's variant sharing a
value with the batch, or a base removal that strands another writer's variant,
is refused with the named refusal instead of writing an unopenable store.
- Shedding is one decision at load. ToStoredDocument resolves the schema once and
returns the report with it; a variant's override of a slot the type lacks is
dropped from the delta there, so flush needs no predicate and every store
reports through the same surface (ReportVariantSheds and OverridesTheTypeHas
are gone). The directory store refuses variants and loads through the same call.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The index rule is about the commit's result, so it now runs for every commit that changes an indexed value: a plain record landing on a value a variant of the post-commit set holds is refused naming both keys and the index (the held index is never trusted; a plain write had already overwritten it). Plain-vs-plain is untouched. A variant sheds overrides of slots its type lacks when it is flushed, as a plain record sheds the member, and the load's report names the slot when the schema itself never had it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Hand-written and directory-store variants now override their indexed value or
name as the rules require; the subscription test writes its variant through a
committed batch so the file holds it, subscribes by key, and reports what it
saw when it times out.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
F3: an override drifts exactly as the same member would on a plain record. A
slot the type dropped is ignored and reported by the store's schema resolution
(LastSchemaMigrationReports), the one surface a plain record uses; a value that
no longer decodes refuses the load, naming the variant and member. The second
report surface (VariantMigrationReports, the per-variant report map, the
catalog slot-name plumbing) is deleted.
F4: an override for a slot the type does not have, or a value that does not
decode as the member, is refused at write. Drift is for type changes after the
fact, not for bad writes. F5: two overrides of one slot are refused.
F2: a variant that shares an indexed value with another record is refused,
naming both keys and the index (the R6 rule extended to [CultIndex]); plain
record duplicate handling is unchanged.
F7: a flatten now resolves against the same batch, so a base edited in that
batch is in the flattened record; and the directory store refuses to load a
variant page as it refuses to write one.
The C1 vector's big variant now overrides its indexed code, as the unique-index
rule requires.

Reader refusals (v1 header over a variant, payload on a variant, unknown op), a

They hold a FileShare.Read handle and expect a delete or replace to fail;
Linux unlink and rename ignore open handles, so they can never pass there and
showed as three standing failures. [Platform("Win")] reports them skipped with
a reason on Linux and keeps them running on Windows. No Linux failure injection
exists: the store names its temp file with a fresh GUID and the suite is
likely root in the verify container, so read-only directories do not fail.

VariantTests drive the cache batch API and the real single-file store. The C1
vector was written by the code under test through that path; C# reads it and

it.

- R-I: new CultNetSelectionPageTests.cs kills Soul's two named S20
mutants - dropping `wantDocument &&` in ToEdge (a header-projection
edge would carry document payload bytes anyway) and always emitting
Edges instead of `selection.HasHop ? ... : null` (a hop-less
selection's page would carry an empty array instead of no Edges
member) - plus a matched-vs-page-length test for R-G. Fixing
ToEdge's mutant coverage surfaced a real bug the new tests caught:
it serialized an edge payload through CultDocumentMessagePackSerialization,
which requires the payload's type to be a registered CultDocument
and throws for a plain declared value type (float, in the fixture);
it now serializes directly through MessagePackSerializer.
- R-D: CultNetCanonicalNumberTests gains "5\n"/"5\r\n" cases - .NET's
$ matches immediately before a single trailing newline even without
RegexOptions.Multiline, so the door's pattern is re-anchored with \A/\z
and would have accepted "5\n" as canonical without this. Caching's
TryGetIndexNumberRewritesADoublesExponentNotationToPositionalDigits
is updated for 1e-7's actual exact decimal expansion (the R-D commit's
own effect): the old assertion pinned "0.0000001", the shortest
round-trip form a pre-R-D render would have produced.
- R-K: every serverThread.Join() in NetworkingTests.cs that sat outside
a try/finally now sits inside one, so a failed assertion cannot leave
the poll thread running past the point where `using` disposes the
socket it polls (an ObjectDisposedException on that raw background
Thread was a host crash, not a test failure). The bodyDemand.HasConsumers
assertions wait on the condition instead of assuming
SubscribeAsync's completion and PublishDemand happened in an order
a network round trip does not guarantee.
- Reflection fix: DatabaseSubscription_FiltersCanonicalWireChangesByRequestedSchemaAlias
built a v0-shaped CultNetDatabaseSubscribeMessage to invoke
CreateMatchedRecord by reflection; that method now takes the shared
SubscriptionRequest (R-A), so the test builds one through the same
reflection path instead.

Corrects commit 1's Number field: docs/cultnet-selection-cut.md section 2
"Numbers" (added 2026-09-22, superseding the map's own stale float64 text)
specifies canonical decimal strings per the operator's Q-J ruling, and
commits 0/1 shipped double instead - the Rust Hands caught the conflict
before writing a line and stopped; this is the correction the map's
Progress block calls for before Rust starts.
- CultNetFieldPredicate.Number: double? -> string?. New CultNetCanonicalNumber
(CultNetSelection.cs) is the wire's canonical grammar and comparator:
IsCanonical validates ^-?(0|[1-9][0-9]*)(\.[0-9]*[1-9])?$ and excludes "-0"
(the regex alone matches it); Compare orders by sign, then the integer
part's length, then its digits, then the fraction padded on the right to
equal length - a pure string function, no double anywhere on the path.
ValidateField refuses a non-canonical number at the door
(selection_invalid) rather than normalising it.
- CultNetSelectionEvaluator.CompareNumber now takes two canonical strings and
switches on CultNetCanonicalNumber.Compare's sign instead of comparing
doubles directly.
- CultCache.cs: CultDocumentDescriptor.TryGetIndexNumber and
PersistedMember.NumberOf render a member's exact canonical decimal instead
of a double. An integer renders exact (no 2^53 limit); decimal strips
trailing fractional zeros; float/double use .NET's shortest round-trip
ToString(), rewritten out of exponent notation to positional digits
(ExpandScientificNotation) before the shared CanonicalizeDecimalDigits
strips zeros and collapses a negative-zero result to "0"; NaN and infinity
render null (TryGetIndexNumber returns false, matching "matches no
comparison").
- contracts/cultnet/cultnet.selection.schema.json: "number" is now a string
with the canonical pattern (a defence-in-depth (?!-0$) lookahead beyond
what the door enforces in code), not a JSON number.
- Tests: CultNetCanonicalNumberTests (new) pins IsCanonical/Compare directly,
including the door's five named non-canonical spellings, magnitude vs.
lexicographic ordering, sign, integer-part length, and a long past 2^53
against its float64 rounding. CultNetSelectionEvaluatorTests gains
ValidationRefusesNonCanonicalNumberSpellings (+1, 1.0, 01, 1e3, -0) and its
existing Number literals become canonical strings.
CultDocumentSelectionSurfaceTests gains a dedicated FixtureLeafNumbers
fixture and four tests: the 2^53+1 long rendering exactly, a decimal's
trailing zeros stripped, a double's exponent notation rewritten to
positional digits (1e21, 1e-7), and NaN/Infinity answering false.
Mutation entries (scripts/mutate-dotnet.ps1): four new Caching entries
(integer-through-float64, decimal trailing zeros, exponent expansion,
NaN/Infinity) and five new Networking entries (the door's regex, the door's
explicit "-0" exclusion, the comparator's integer-length check, a
lexicographic-whole-string mutant, and the comparator's sign check) - all
KILLED. The two pre-existing S16 (le/ge boundary) entries had to be
re-anchored: their Old text quoted CompareNumber's previous double-based
`left <= right`/`left >= right` spelling, which no longer exists now that
CompareNumber switches on Compare's int result: `cmp <= 0`/`cmp >= 0`.
Verification: dotnet test - GameCult.Networking.Tests 192/192 (was 183 before
these additions), GameCult.Caching.Tests 192/192 (was 188), GameCult.Mesh.Tests

M0 and final both green. Networking mutation run: 15/15 KILLED (10

docs/cultnet-selection-cut.md section 6/7/10: the reflection loop at
CultNetDocumentRegistry.cs:325-342 exists only because nothing outside
GameCult.Caching can read a declared index value, reference, or numeric
member (Members/IndexAccessors are internal, no InternalsVisibleTo to
Networking). This adds the one public door instead: CultDocumentMemberView,
CultDocumentDescriptor.DeclaredMembers/TryGetIndexValue/TryGetIndexNumber/
ReferencesOf, and CultDocumentRegistry.ResolveTargetLeaves (D9, computed live
against the registry, never cached or persisted).
Two registration refusals land beside DiscoverMembers' existing
DuplicateSlotMessage/HiddenMemberMessage: D10 renames the ArgumentException
ToDictionary already threw for two differently-named members sharing one
index alias into a rejection that names the schema, both members and the
alias; D11 refuses a reference member whose CLR shape the cache cannot walk
(many:false needs CultRecordRef<T>, many:true needs
IEnumerable<CultRecordRef<T>> or IDictionary<CultRecordRef<T>, V>) instead of
silently answering it as unreadable later.
GameCult.Networking is untouched; the evaluator that will read this surface
does not exist yet (commit 1).
Verification: dotnet test tests/GameCult.Caching.Tests - 188 passed (176
existing + 12 new), 0 failed. New tests: TryGetIndexValue/TryGetIndexNumber
reading an inherited alias; ReferencesOf over a single/many-list/many-dictionary
reference, including two dictionary entries with different payload bytes
(S19); ResolveTargetLeaves against an abstract target with no [CultDocument]
of its own (D9), including a leaf registered after an earlier descriptor was
built; IsNumeric agreement for a nullable numeric and a decimal member (S22);
the two new registration refusals, dynamically emitted so registry discovery
by attribute scan cannot see the rejected shapes.
scripts/mutate-cultnet-selection-caching.ps1: a dedicated dotnet/NUnit
mutation runner (the shared tools/eureka-mutations.ps1 harness only speaks

verified by SHA-256, a sidecar for crash recovery, M0 no-op control, one

TrimEnd('0','f') missed Library/unity default resources built-ins whose GUID
has no all-zero or all-f suffix (e.g. 0000000000000000e000000000000000, the
LegacyRuntime font / Cube mesh in 6000.3.24f1). Ask AssetDatabase instead: a
real project asset is always a main or sub-asset under Assets/ or Packages/;
built-ins are neither. Also add a Clear button beside the stale-value warning
so a non-resolving stored key can be cleared without picking a substitute
asset first (drawing still never rewrites a stored value on its own).

Ruling S (2026-09-17): a stored [CultInspectorAssetGuid] value is the
Addressables key form itself, the bare GUID for a main asset or
"guid[subAssetName]" for a picked sub-asset (one sprite of a sheet, say) -
the same shape AssetReference keeps and Addressables.LoadAssetAsync<T>
accepts.
CultAssetGuidKey (engine-free, GameCult.Caching) pins the parse/format rule
with unit tests (bare guid, guid[name], names with brackets/spaces,
malformed input), so headless checks can share it without touching Unity.
The Studio drawer's AssetGuid branch now: resolves either key form on read;
refuses to store a built-in resource's GUID (it has no Addressables entry)
and logs why instead of silently writing nothing; shows a warning next to a
stored value that fails to parse or resolve instead of drawing it as an
ordinary empty field, and never rewrites that stale value on its own.
Rebuilt GameCult.Caching/GameCult.Caching.MessagePack plugin DLLs

CultInspectorAssetPathAttribute stored an engine asset path, which breaks
when the asset moves. CultInspectorAssetGuidAttribute stores the asset's
stable identity (in Unity, the .meta GUID) instead. The Studio drawer now
resolves the stored GUID to a path only to load the preview object, and
writes back AssetPathToGUID on a change. No path form survives for the
next field to pick up.

BeginEdit cloned Document eagerly but Record lazily from record.Document,
so a cache change in place before Record's first read made the two copies
come from different states. BeginEdit now serializes the document once and
deserializes Document from those bytes; Record deserializes the same bytes
on first read. Record is the state the edit began from, and costs one
deserialize only when a drawer reads it, with no second serialize.
Each commit still spends the edit, so a slider drag begins an edit per
frame; that serialize was already paid for Document, and Record adds a
deserialize only in frames where a drawer reads it.
The new test mutates the cached document between BeginEdit and the first
Record read; it fails on the lazy clone.

452f928 made nil the unset wire form, including dictionary keys: a
Dictionary<CultRecordRef<H>, float> holding the empty key encoded it as C0.
Python msgpack refuses nil map keys under strict_map_key, its default, so
cultcache-py cannot decode such a record. Nil cannot be the one canonical
form; "" can, and every runtime reads it.
The writer always writes "". The reader still takes nil as unset, because
452f928/b85a828 stores and Aetheria's Cut 9 import wrote nil; such a record
converts to "" on its next save and is byte-stable after that. The
store-composition contract names "" for value and key position, requires
readers to accept nil, and tells other runtimes to write "".
The tests pin payload bytes, so each claim is consequential: an unset ref
writes "", reloads through a fresh cache and resaves byte-identical; a
nil-written legacy payload reads as unset and resaves as ""; a ref-keyed
dictionary with an empty key writes "", reads back unset and resaves
byte-identical. The nil writer fails every byte assertion, a reader taking
nil as a set key fails the legacy pair, and a reader taking "" as a set key
fails the read-back assertions.
