The deleted parse option was the only thing that typed a catalog lookup, so
every caller had to name the value type. Catalog methods now take the schema
argument as a type parameter: a CultCache document definition yields its own
value type, an explicit type argument still wins, and a bare schema
descriptor yields unknown. CultMeshCatalogValue names that rule.
- Document catalog: tryDocument, document, latest, replace,
submitPrediction, authoritativeWriter, predictionWriter, watch.
Collection catalog: tryCollection, collection, latest, watchChanges.
- The two copies of the (value, options) / (context, value) argument split
collapse into cultMeshCatalogWriteArguments, and the typed lookups share one
private #require per catalog.
- Tests: the three reads that named their type infer it again. A type-level
test pins inference for reads, rows, watches, writes and writers with
@ts-expect-error on wrong assignments.
