Soul F5. F7 (operator, 2026-09-30): "Schema aliasing sounds like a really
bad idea, I support retiring it." CultNetDocumentRegistry.Register wrote
both maps unconditionally, so the last binding for a schema id won.
- Register refuses a binding whose type already holds another schema id,
or whose schema id another type holds, with the reference runtime's
CultSchemaConflictException: the new binding's schema id, both document
types, an empty record key. Nothing is bound on refusal. Binding a type
to the schema id it holds again replaces the binding. This matches Rust
(fc3f3ee5) and Kotlin.
- Tests: both claimant shapes in both orders with two bindings ahead of
the holder (F6/M11), the first binding intact afterwards, and a same-type
rebind replacing.

F7 (operator, 2026-09-30): "Schema aliasing sounds like a really bad idea,
I support retiring it." C# now holds one type per schema, as TypeScript,
Python and Rust already do.
- Delete IsExactWireAlias and the branch that registered an identical second
type by CLR type only. A second type with the same schema name and version
is refused with CultSchemaConflictException naming both types and the
claimed id, whether it is identical, declares other compatible ids, or has
other members. The untyped DuplicateSchemaRegistration refusal and the
separate SchemaIdClaimedTwice path collapse into that one refusal.
- Owner-beats-lister (batch 10) is unchanged: one type owns an id, others may
list it as compatible.
- The per-name version index stays; it serves v1/v2 of one schema name, not
aliasing.
- Tests: the alias-registration tests are replaced by one refusal test over
identical, re-declared and re-shaped second types, in both registration
orders.
- cultcache-store-composition.md drops the AsSchemaAlias stale-protection note.

F7 (operator, 2026-09-30): "Schema aliasing sounds like a really bad idea,
I support retiring it." One CLR type owns a schema, so a handle never needs
converting to another type for the same schema.
- Delete AsSchemaAlias from the document and collection handles and their
interfaces, with the MessagePack round-trip converters only it used.
- The document and collection catalogs look a typed handle up by its type.
The schema-name/version fallback existed only to find a handle of another
type and alias it.
- Tests: the MeshNoteAliasDocument fixture is deleted. Tests that used it
for publication, sync, snapshot and prediction paths now use
MeshNoteDocument; the one test that only checked alias refusal is deleted.
Catalog tests check a type with no handle is not found.
- public-api.md stops documenting aliasing; a stale comment in
ReadDocumentFromSnapshotResponse that cited the fixture is trimmed.

Batch 9 refused any overlap between two types' ids, which forbade the migration
CompatibleSchemaIds exists for: v2 declares v1's id while v1's class stays
registered (Soul F8). The rule is now owner beats lister. A type owns its own
schema id; any number of types may list an id as compatible beside its owner,
registering in either order. A record under an id resolves to its owner, else to
the one type listing it. An id no type owns and several list names no single
type, so a record under it is refused, typed (CultSchemaConflictException naming
the id and the listers), where it resolves: refusing at registration would
depend on whether the owner had registered yet.
A second owner of one id is still refused at registration, typed. A schema id
hashes the schema's name and version, so the only second owner is a type of the
same name and version, which the name-and-version check already meets; the
separate own-id lookup could never fire and is gone.
Tests: an owner and a lister register in both orders, the owner's id resolves to
the owner, the lister's own id to the lister, and without the owner to the
lister; two listers register in both orders, a record under their id is refused
typed with no owner and resolves to the owner with one, registered before or
after them; a cache with v1 beside v2 reads each version's records as its own
type, in both registration orders. The emitted-fixture note says why a fixture
is emitted now that v1/v2 pairs no longer need hiding from the shared registry.

A condition names a record by (stored schema id, storedAt), and that name must
say which bytes are stored. A single-file whole-view write (plain flush, or an
unconditional commit) re-encoded every record under its own type's id with the
storedAt it loaded, so the pair could name two byte strings: v1 shed a member
keeping storedAt, a second v2 cache restored v2's id keeping it again, and a v2
cache holding the original bytes committed its condition (Soul F6, A-B-A).
Now such a write stores a record under a later storedAt whenever it stores it
differently: under another id than it was loaded under, or with other bytes than
the file holds at that storedAt (a record written with the ids it minted at
load, for one). A record stored exactly as the file holds it keeps its storedAt.
The store's entries and the cache's take the id and storedAt the write gave them.
Tests: the A-B-A through commits and through plain flushes, with Expect and
ExpectUnchanged; a flush that re-encodes a record restamps the cache that
flushed (a condition holds straight after, SM12); a record stored unchanged keeps
its storedAt through commits and flushes; persisting load-minted ids gives a
later storedAt. The rolling-deploy test asserted v1's rewrite kept storedAt; it
now asserts a later one, since that rewrite is a new store of the record.

A directory-store record's identity on disk is its manifest entry, which is what
a commit condition compares; the page holds its own copy of the id. A load now
takes StoredSchemaId from the manifest, so a manifest rewritten under an older
id (AConditionOnARecordUnderADeclaredOldIdHoldsInTheDirectoryStore) is the id
the condition expects. Canonicalisation had hidden the page and manifest
disagreeing in that fixture.
The whole-view test's variant overrides its name: a variant may not share its
base's.

Registration refuses a type any of whose ids (its own, or one it declares
compatible) another registered type already owns or declares, with
CultSchemaConflictException naming the id, both schema names and both CLR types.
TypeScript already refuses this (cult-cache.ts); before, C# kept whichever type
registered first (Soul F4). An exact wire alias must now also declare the same
compatible ids: a type differing only in its declaration had it dropped when it
registered second (H4), and is refused the same way.
Exact aliases that agree in every respect still register by type, and a record
under their shared id still resolves to the first registered (H3). Removing that
would delete CultMesh's same-schema aliases; it is left for an operator ruling.
Tests: both registration orders for a shared compatible id, an owned id declared
by another type, and a same-schema type with a different declaration; an alias
with the same declaration still registers. The registry tests use the shared
EmittedDocumentTypes helper in place of their own.

Each stored document carries StoredSchemaId: the id its record sits under in its
store, the one it was loaded under until a write puts it under its type's own id.
Expect, ExpectUnchanged, the reload and merge identity checks compare
(StoredSchemaId, storedAt) with the store's bytes exactly. CanonicalSchemaId is
deleted: canonicalising the disk id let an older version's whole-view rewrite
(same storedAt, restamped to its own id, a member shed) pass a newer cache's
condition (Soul F1), and failed every condition on a record resolved by name or
through a file entry listing the local id (F3). A whole-view write marks every
record it wrote as stored under its type's id, in the store and the cache.
Tests: Soul's rolling-deploy probe as AWholeViewRewriteByAnOlderVersionFails...
(Mismatch for Expect and ExpectUnchanged, nothing derived lands, a pull shows the
rewrite and the retry commits); F3's H1, H1b, H2 pass Expect and ExpectUnchanged
when nothing changed; conditions after a whole-view commit hold for a plain
record and a variant. BareDeck is emitted at run time (EmittedDocumentTypes) so
the shared registry never sees it beside DeclaringDeck; the CanonicalSchemaId
tests and their Claimant fixtures go with the function.

A condition on a record under a declared old id is tested against the directory manifest too, and
a duplicate declared id is listed once. The merge-judging comparison keeps its plain schema-id
equality: a record it re-reads is only judged again, and no test reaches a difference.

The contract says the name a catalog entry carries is metadata and a schema renamed under a
stable id opens in every runtime that holds the id. The C# shape comparison refused any name
drift, so a record under a declared old id (the entry carrying another name and a different
content hash) or under a renamed stable id could not open. The comparison keeps the slot and
type checks; a record resolved by name has the same name by construction.

A type that failed to build a descriptor poisoned the shared registry's discovery of every
loaded document. A blank id is now filtered like the type's own id, and the test declares one.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
CultDocumentAttribute.CompatibleSchemaIds, as TypeScript and Python already name it. The
registered catalog entry lists the ids after its own, the registry resolves a record under one
to the type (its own id first, then the first registered type that declares it), and a
condition on a record compares schema ids through that resolution, so a record still under a
declared old id counts as the record the cache holds. The cache already stamps every record it
writes with the descriptor's own id; the store writers still change no identity, so a record a
commit does not rewrite stays under the id the file holds it under, published by the registered
entry. Without the declaration such a commit is refused, typed, as before.
Contract and XML docs describe the declaration.

Deleted the heuristic that rewrote a record the cache held "unchanged since read" (same key and
storedAt) under the registered id, in the single-file commit and in the directory generation. It
could overwrite a record another writer changed while keeping its storedAt. A commit onto a file
now writes its batch and leaves every other record as the file holds it; a record under an id only
an arrived entry lists is refused, typed, with the file left as it was. Deleted the directory
store's _durableCatalog, a second stale-able source of arrived entries beside the manifest read
under the lease.
Tests: the lost-update probe, the two refusals that replace the restamp tests, the
arrived-overwrites-registered guard in both id orders, the content-hash tie-break against the
compatible-list order, and refusal determinism across record arrival order.

Two entries of one tier that share an own id are refused when the id is carried, so a refusal at dedupe could never fire.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every writer (C# single-file and directory, TypeScript, Python; Rust already did) chooses, for each schema id a record carries, one
entry that publishes it: the entry that owns the id (a registered descriptor, else an arrived entry), else one that lists it as
compatible. A registered descriptor wins over an arrived entry with the same own id. Entries are written as chosen, with no union of
compatible ids and no dependence on arrival order; an entry no record needs is not written. Two entries of one tier that share an own id
and disagree on the schema name, records of different types under one id, or a record no chosen entry publishes refuse the write with a
typed error (CultSchemaConflictException, SchemaConflictError) naming the id, the names and a record key, and the store is left as it was.
CultSchemaCatalogEntry.MergeById and the Python and TypeScript merge paths are gone. A cache-held record unchanged since the file was read
is rewritten under its registered id (C# single-file and directory), so an entry that lists an older id is not needed to publish it.

cultnet-py's resolve_document_and_schema_id_for_raw_record is replaced by resolve_document_for_raw_record, which resolves the
document only; cultmesh-py keys previous values by the local schema id, so a snapshot under a compatible id or the schema name
reports an update with its previous value. Writers (C#, TypeScript, Python) merge same-id entries only when their schema names match;
another schema's entry is dropped or the record gets a default entry under its own id, and a record's own id is claimed before an
entry that lists it as compatible. The C# single-file writer prefers the entry being written now, as the directory writer does, so
name, content hash and members come from the registered schema and the compatible ids are the union. Vector:
compatible-before-owner-v3. A cultnet-py test's schema path no longer depends on the working directory.

Entries that share a schema id are one schema seen by different writers, so the writer lists every id any of them lists, in any
order: C# single-file and directory (CultSchemaCatalogEntry.MergeById), TypeScript and Python. Rust synthesises one entry per id and
has no such merge. An id that one entry owns and another lists as compatible names the owner in Rust, TypeScript, Python and the TS
inspector, as C# already did (own-id-over-compatible-v3). Also: a directory manifest in an unreadable format is the typed refusal
naming it, cultnet-py applies and reports a record under the local schema id, and Rust's error prints its cause once.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

CultElementIds.Holds is the one fact a store marks its header by; a test now

mutant that skips any of those branches fails.
C# ReadStoreHeader refused a first-slot string without the cultcache.store.

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.

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").

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
PushAll v3, and taking it away unmarks it; a variant read without a codec
counts as holding ids while the same record read with one does not.

One conflict, at the end of Admit in CultCache.cs. The branch had added the
IdsInMemoryOnly marking of a load's minted ids before Apply; main had turned
the thread's hold into a Hold carrying Changes and Failures and run the
journals right after Apply. Both are kept, in that order: the marking touches
only the records and runs no user code, then Apply mints the Sequences, the
hold records the changes, and the journals run under the gate.
Id planning and Project do not collide. Ids are planned and applied first,
Resolve (variants, then Project, then the name and index rules) reads the
filled documents, land runs, and only then Apply mints. A Project getter that
throws is caught by the same handler that undoes the id plans, so a refused
admission changes no document and mints nothing.

ExistingHeader read the whole snapshot and swallowed every failure into "no header": a
truncated v3 file got a v1 raw write and an unknown v9 file was overwritten, where
TypeScript, Python and Rust refuse. CultDocumentMessagePackSerialization.ReadStoreHeader

format this runtime cannot read, and the raw write keeps a whole marked file marked.

A CultStoredDocument built by a caller and handed straight to a store never passed an
admission, so HoldsIds stayed false and its ids landed under a v1/v4 header. An admission
still decides it (it counts the ids it fills); a record that never had one reads it off the
document it stores. CacheBackingStore.HeaderFor documents the rule for third-party stores.

A stray, malformed, foreign-id or refused datagram is dropped and counted,

CacheBackingStore.HeaderFor(holdsIds, existingHeader, wholeStore, directoryStore) replaces FormatFor,
DirectoryFormatFor and the writers' private marker logic. A writer that rewrites the whole store
decides by content; a writer that touches part of it keeps a header already marked. Flush,
unconditional and conditional commit, the directory store and CultMesh's single-file write all call
it. A typed CultMesh write replaces the file with a document it can see, so it decides by content;
a raw payload is opaque and keeps a marked file marked.
A record's HoldsIds is what its stored form persists: a load keeps a variant's delta as read, so
the ids a load mints in an override exist only in memory and no longer mark the store. A
conditional commit onto the file no longer reads this cache's view of what the file held, so a
stale view cannot over-mark it. IdPlan.HoldsIds is derived from HeldIds and the fills.
Reverts InternalsVisibleTo GameCult.Caching.MessagePack and the public DirectoryFormatV4/V5
constants: the directory store reaches the decision through the protected member it inherits.

A flattened variant's HoldsIds is read off the document re-resolved against the post-batch base, not carried from the
variant or from the document the flatten was planned against. The conditional commit onto a file decides by the same
rule as the unconditional commit (ids in the records the file will hold, ids only this cache minted excepted, a marked
file staying marked). The directory manifest's header choice moves beside FormatFor. Pins the three-batch flatten
probe on the commit and flush paths, the conditional commit, the last id leaving, an id-bearing override that is not
the last, and a failed CultMesh write giving its ids back.

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

sequences and never reporting PeerDisconnected; it now replaces only on a
different connect payload and reports the old peer, as the Rust hub does.

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

A store is written v3 (v5 for a directory) only when a record in it holds a non-empty
element id. CultElementIds.Plan reports that as IdPlan.HoldsIds; the admission stamps it
on the stored record and every store reads it. The descriptor's CarriesElementIds is
deleted. A file already marked on disk stays marked. CultPersistedStoreSnapshot.FormatFor
is the one header decision.
Plan refuses one element object sitting twice in a list at write, naming the record and
list, instead of writing both ids and refusing the store at load.
CultMesh single-file write mints, refuses and marks as a cache write does; the read applies
the load-time plan, so a write and a load refuse the same things.

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.
