R-O: CultNetSelectionCursorKey is a per-process (per-CultNetDatabase-instance) 32-byte
random key. CultNetSelectionCursor.ComputeDigest is now an HMAC-SHA256 under that key
instead of an unkeyed SHA-256, so a cursor cannot be forged without the key and does not
verify across a restart (a fresh CultNetDatabase mints a fresh key). The cursor body
(asOf/ordinal/schemaId/recordKey/digest) is length-prefixed (<byte length>:<value>, no
delimiter) instead of joined with a bare "\x01"-separated string, so a record key
carrying any character, U+241F included, round-trips. CultNetSelectionEvaluator.Select/
Page/ComputeDigest take an optional CultNetSelectionCursorKey, defaulting to a
process-wide key generated once so existing callers that never wire up a database still
get a keyed digest. CultNetDatabase gets a CursorKey property (random unless
CultNetDatabaseOptions.CursorKey is supplied) and passes it through
CultNetDatabaseServer.CreateSelectionResponse.
Rust already landed R-O (5aac120) under its own algorithm, deliberately not byte-matching
the reference: its own doc comment says a cursor is never handed across runtimes, so only
collision-freedom and keying are load-bearing, not the wire bytes. That is a real
divergence from this pass's instruction to match Rust's wire encoding exactly - reported
in full in the batch report.
R-Q: the two replica-apply paths (ApplyCommittedPutAsync, ApplyCommittedDelete) recorded
the mutation-log entry but never set _lastWriteSequence, so a row's order/cursor position
looked like "never written" until it was written again locally. Both now set it from the
entry's own sequence, matching AppendMutationLogEntry's local-commit path.
InitializeLogSequencesFromStore rebuilt only _nextLogSequences at startup; it now also
rebuilds _lastWriteSequence by replaying the durable log's Put/Delete entries in sequence
order. CultNetDatabase.ResolveShard is a new public wrapper over the existing shard
resolution; CultNetDocumentRegistry.SelectPage/CreateSelectionResponse take an optional
shardIdOf callback and refuse (reusing CultNetSelectionInvalidException/selection_invalid,
R-N) when a selection's matched rows resolve to more than one shard's log, because asOf is
a single watermark and is not exact for a shard-spanning page.
CultNetDatabaseServer.CreateSelectionResponse wires shardIdOf/cursorKey through from the
database.
Also fixes a defect the Rust Hands found while matching wire bytes:
CultNetErrorMessage.ForReferenceOutsideTarget double-prefixed "reference_outside_target: "
- the exception's own message already carries it. Now prefixed once, matching Rust's
ForReferenceOutsideTarget.
