general review 004 (pre-release, whole workspace): one HIGH slot-poisoning fix, two contract-observable divergence fixes, robustness + doc corrections — all gates re-run green

- sqlite scheduler tick: a failed COMMIT (or ROLLBACK) left the connection
  released with a stuck-open transaction, wedging the writer slot forever —
  the one commit site missing the drop-+-reopen-replenish arm; tick now
  takes the conn by value with a poisoned disposition (drop + replenish),
  the commit-fault seam reaches the tick, and
  failed_tick_commit_replenishes_the_writer_slot pins the arm
- pg save_offset_tx stored GREATEST($3,0) where the wave-8 gate's
  negative-seed fix (raw seed, ADR-023 §2 2026-10-11 annotation) covered
  only the auto-commit form; mem's merged in-tx read clamped a staged
  negative seed against a phantom zero; both fixed and the tx-form
  totality pinned by a new stamped suite leg (in_tx_reads_see_own_writes)
  green on all three columns vs the live harness server
- pg: a failed forwarder register leaked the channel refcount forever
  (no receiver to drop it) — listen/spawn_bridge now unregister on the
  register error, mirroring the subscribe-failure arm; register doc
  corrected to put the failure disposition at the call site
- pg forwarder: nine poisoned-mutex expect() panics converted to the
  mem crate's into_inner recovery idiom (no-expect-outside-tests rule)
- core encode_payload: a deeply-nested Value aborted the process in
  serde_json's unguarded serializer recursion and the fuzz pin blessed
  storing bytes no decoder could read back; encode now rejects nesting
  past 127 containers (the empirically-verified decode limit) with typed
  Codec — decode-aligned boundary pins added to the fuzz invariant and
  value_type_tests, applied pre-publish within the open class-1 window
- scheduler sleep deadlines: Instant + Duration overflow caps (MAX_SLEEP_S,
  tick-and-resleep) on all three engines for far-future boundaries;
  sqlite tick claim stamp now saturating_add
- docs read true again: Error::Closed scope (stream try_recv arm),
  validation whitespace wording, sqlite lib.rs phantom durability knobs,
  pg lock.rs honest autocommit wording, mem tx/stream merge + wake-
  granularity wording; wakes.rs stale allow(dead_code) removed
- tests: value_type_tests exercised its own map_err instead of the
  function under test (fixed); unwrap_or_default reference encodes
  panic with cause
- docs/reviews/004-pre-release-general-review.md records nine fixed +
  sixteen parked findings (sqlite seam panic-safety armor, watcher
  post-death-subscribe hang + initial-stat self-kill, pg forwarder
  TOCTOU/hang/diagnosability, pg BIGINT server-side stamp overflow, mem
  growth/outbox notes, pg identifier-truncation doc note, smaller) and
  two false positives caught on verification; implementation.md
  review-rounds entry + core-contract backlog rows updated
- gates: build, workspace tests (sqlite 194, core 27, suite legs new),
  full live pg column 127+25+9, clippy -D warnings, fmt, fuzz replay
  6/6, wasm32 check, doc gate -D warnings — all green

# General review — wave 8 / pre-release (whole workspace)
- **Reviewer**: opencode (glm-5.3-flash)
- **Scope**: a general review of the full workspace as it stands at
wave-8 completion (2026-10-11, post `review-wave-8`, pre-publish) —
the same lens family as reviews 001/002/003 (correctness, security,
code smells, classic dev issues), applied to all four published
crates plus the contract suite and the fuzz sidecar, rather than a
single wave's delta. Numbering note: reviews 001 (waves 1–2), 002
(wave 4), and 003 (wave 5) already occupy the first three slots, so
this record is **004** by the directory's sequence.
- **Input**: four parallel deep-read agents (one per crate: core;
sqlite engine + substrate; postgres; mem) plus a cross-cutting
sweep (panics/unsafe/logging/security greps, metadata, README /
CHANGELOG spot-checks, fuzz/shared), followed by session-level
verification of every finding that drove a change — each fixed
item below was re-verified by direct read and, where behavioral,
by a live run.
- **Gates at review time** (all run this session, after the fixes):
`cargo build`; `cargo test --workspace` server-less (green; core 27,
sqlite 194, mem 102, pg lib SKIP-posture, suite 25 on the
sqlite+mem columns); the **full pg column live** vs the harness
server (`pglo-poc`: 127 lib + 25 suite + 9 schema, all green — the
run that re-verified the pg fixes below through the live server);
`cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`; `cargo fmt --check`;
the fuzz corpus replay (6/6); the wasm32 check
(`cargo check --target wasm32-unknown-unknown -p alkstore-mem`);
the doc gate (`RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc --no-deps`,
zero warnings). Harness env for the record (review 003's op note):
`ALKSTORE_PG_HOST=localhost ALKSTORE_PG_PORT=15432
ALKSTORE_PG_USER=postgres ALKSTORE_PG_PASSWORD=poc
ALKSTORE_PG_DB=blobs`.
## Findings fixed inline
| # | Severity | Where | Finding | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | HIGH | `alkstore-sqlite/src/scheduler.rs` | **A failed tick `COMMIT`/`ROLLBACK` left the writer slot wedged with a stuck-open transaction.** The tick ran inside `with_writer`, which releases the connection on both arms; SQLite's documented behavior is that a failed `COMMIT` *leaves the transaction active* — so the released connection carries a live `BEGIN IMMEDIATE` forever: every later auto-commit op silently executes inside an uncommitted transaction (writes vanish at close) and every later `BEGIN IMMEDIATE` errors. Every other commit site has the drop-+-`reopen`-replenish arm (the tx handle's commit, `ConnLease`, the drop paths — pinned by `sqlite-commit-error-arm` tests); the tick was the one site missing it. Also, the tick's error arm swallowed rollback failure (`let _ = ROLLBACK`). | The tick takes the connection by value now and returns a `(result, conn, poisoned)` disposition: `COMMIT` failure or `ROLLBACK` failure marks the connection poisoned — dropped, not released, slot replenished via a fresh bootstrapped open (the established arm's posture). The `cfg(test)` commit-fault seam reaches the tick (the store's flag is threaded into `run_schedules`), and a new test pins the property: `failed_tick_commit_replenishes_the_writer_slot` (`store/scheduler_tests.rs`) injects a `SQLITE_FULL`-shaped `COMMIT` failure and asserts the error chain, slot grantability, and full store usability after. |
| 2 | MED (contract-observable) | `alkstore-postgres/src/tx.rs`, `alkstore-mem/src/tx.rs` | **The wave-8 gate's pg negative-seed fix missed the tx seam.** The gate fixed pg's auto-commit save (raw seed, `CHECK` dropped) against ADR-023 §2's 2026-10-11 annotation ("a negative is stored as the checkpoint") and pinned `save_offset`'s totality through the *direct* form — but `save_offset_tx` still clamped (`GREATEST($3, 0)`), so the same consumer's first save landed −5 through `StreamHandle::save_offset` and 0 through `TxHandle::save_offset_tx` depending on entry point, with the tx path's doc still citing the pre-annotation clamp rationale. The suite's new legs did not pin the tx form, which is why the gate's audit read passed. **Mem had the same family defect in-tx**: `merged_get_offset` reported `max(staged, committed)` against a *phantom zero* for an absent committed checkpoint, so a staged −5 seed read 0 in-tx but committed as −5 (`save_offset_row` seeds raw) — the in-tx read contradicted the merge outcome; SQLite (uncommitted in-tx SQL) was correct. | Both fixed: pg `save_offset_tx` stores `$3::bigint` raw (comment updated to the annotated posture); mem's merged read now distinguishes an absent committed row (new `has_offset_row` probe) — a staged seed reads raw in-tx, an existing checkpoint rides the monotone max as before. A new suite leg pins the tx form end-to-end (staged −5 → raw in-tx read-back → stored −5 at commit → anchored reads resume forward) in `in_tx_reads_see_own_writes`, stamped with the ADR-023 §2 (annotated 2026-10-11) accumulation; green on all three columns against the live pg server. `core-contract.md`'s numeric-domain verification row names the tx-form leg; core-contract's `save_offset_tx` prose was already uniform ("monotone upsert" — the divergence was pg/mem implementation, not contract text). |
| 3 | MED | `alkstore-postgres/src/forwarder.rs`, `src/notify.rs`, `src/stream.rs` | **A failed `register` leaked a phantom refcount.** `register` increments the channel registry *first*, then faults on three paths (mid-reconnect, forwarder-gone, ack dropped). `listen()` (`notify.rs`) propagated the error without unregistering — and since no receiver was created, no future `Drop` would ever decrement: the last-subscriber UNLISTEN rule could never fire and the reconnect re-issue kept LISTENing a channel nobody consumes. The subscribe-side failure arm two lines below already unregisters ("the acked LISTEN must not leak") — the register-side arm was the miss. `spawn_bridge` (`stream.rs`) had the same shape. | Both call sites now unregister on the register error before returning it (mirroring the existing subscribe-failure arm), and `register`'s doc is corrected: the failure disposition is the call site's (no receiver exists to drop the reference), replacing the old "the registry entry stays either way" claim that codified the leak. |
| 4 | MED | `alkstore-postgres/src/forwarder.rs` | **Nine non-test `expect()`s in the fanout/registry/config locks** — a panic while holding any of them poisoned the mutex and converted every later `register`/`subscribe`/`shutdown` into a panic in unrelated tasks, despite the workspace's no-`expect`-outside-tests rule (and the crate's own seam docs). | Converted to the mem crate's established poison-recovery idiom (`unwrap_or_else(std::sync::PoisonError::into_inner)`) — degraded-but-alive continuation matching `alkstore-mem/src/state.rs`'s locked-discipline posture. The one remaining pg `expect` (`stream.rs` wake-runtime build, a `OnceLock` fixed-config invariant) is recorded, not converted: its failure is a bug, not a condition, and converting it would change the function's signature for no path. |
| 5 | MED | `alkstore/src/payload.rs` (+ `fuzz/shared/src/payload_codec.rs`, engine enqueue paths implicitly) | **Deeply-nested payload `Value`s aborted the process at encode time.** The doc claimed "Unreachable for `serde_json::Value` in practice", but serialization's recursion is unguarded: a caller-supplied `Value` nested ~10⁵ levels overflows the stack inside `serde_json::to_vec` — an abort, not an `Err` — and `encode_payload` runs at every enqueue/publish/notify site on every engine, so one bad `Value` from one consumer kills the runtime. Worse for the pre-change state: the fuzz invariant explicitly pinned that a value nested past the decode recursion limit *encodes successfully* and only "decodes loud" later — i.e. storing bytes no reader could ever read back, silent data loss at read time. A scratch probe pinned serde_json's decode boundary empirically: 127 nested containers read back, the 128th nested open fails (`RECURSION_LIMIT` 128 counts the failing open, not the last success). | `encode_payload` now measures nesting iteratively (an explicit-stack walk — a recursive checker would itself overflow on exactly the deep inputs) and rejects anything deeper than **127 containers** with typed `Error::Codec`: exact encode/decode symmetry (everything decodable encodes; nothing undecodable stores) and no reachable abort path. Applied pre-publish, so the class-1 window covers it as a failure-set addition within ADR-023 §1's typed-failure pin — flagged here for the record's honesty. The fuzz invariant's encode expectations were corrected (past-limit *encode* fails typed; a boundary round-trip leg at 127 containers added), and two core tests pin the boundary + no phantom behavior (`value_type_tests.rs`). `payload_as`'s decode-side behavior is unchanged. |
| 6 | MED (platform-conditional) | `alkstore-mem/src/scheduler.rs`, `alkstore-sqlite/src/scheduler.rs`, `alkstore-postgres/src/scheduler.rs` | **`Instant + Duration` panic / unchecked overflow on far-future boundaries.** The three leader loops' sleep deadlines computed `tokio Instant + Duration::from_secs(soonest − now)` with `soonest` a consumer-reachable i64 (a legal `@every 9999999999999999s` interval); on macOS (u64-nano `Instant`, ~584 y) or Windows (~29 k y) the addition panics for waits past the platform's representable span (the mem agent verified the panic class; Linux tolerates it). The sleep is a wake-latency optimization — correctness never rides it. Same family: the sqlite tick's claim stamping did an unchecked `now + s` (`expires_s` consumer i64) — debug panic / release wrap, in the one spot whose neighbors all use `saturating_add`. | All three sleeps cap one slice at `MAX_SLEEP_S` (30 days): a far-future boundary sleeps, ticks (a no-op), and sleeps again — the tick recomputes the soonest every iteration and the renewals continue, so a 30-day-cap is behavior-preserving on any platform. The sqlite claim stamp is `now.saturating_add(s)` matching `resolution.rs`'s own posture. |
| 7 | LOW | `alkstore-mem/src/wakes.rs` | **Stale module-level `#![allow(dead_code)]`** whose own comment said "until the mechanism tasks wire it" — the mechanisms wired the bus in wave 6; the suppression was masking the module's real dead-code signal. | Removed (with the now-covered `#[allow(dead_code)]` on `new()`, which the `Default` impl exercises); compiles clean — the surface is genuinely live. |
| 8 | LOW (test hygiene, core) | `alkstore/src/value_type_tests.rs` | Two test smells: `payload_as_undecodable_target_yields_codec` exercised a `map_err` the test itself wrote instead of the function under test (it proved nothing); two serialization asserts compared against `to_vec(...).unwrap_or_default()` — a failure in the reference encode would diff against an empty `Vec` and misdirect. | The undecodable-bytes case now goes through `Job::payload_as` on a real undecodable job; the reference encodes panic with their cause. |
| 9 | LOW (doc accuracy) | several | Doc-vs-code mismatches found by the read, all public or contract text: core's `Error::Closed` doc scoped the variant to *wake* receivers while the stream receiver's `try_recv` produces it too; `validation.rs`'s shared-kind bullet was self-contradictory about the whitespace rule and `NameKind::Local` omitted it; `alkstore-sqlite`'s lib header promised "durability knobs … on `SqliteOpts`" although `SqliteOpts` carries only the watcher cadence and reader-pool size (`synchronous`/busy-timeout are bootstrapped constants); pg `lock.rs` claimed the acquire sequence "auto-committed as a unit" though the statements commit individually (correctness lives in the PK constraint, which the doc itself cited second); mem's tx module doc said the commit-merge is "one guarded operation" while the merge is two sequential guarded sections (queues → streams) on a non-awaiting path, and mem's stream doc said publishes fire "one wake per event" where the tx commit path coalesces per stream. | All reworded to match the code. The pg `lock.rs` and mem merge statements now state the real mechanism honestly; the sqlite lib doc now matches `SqliteOpts`'s actual fields; the `Error::Closed` doc covers both receiver families. |
## Findings recorded, not fixed (follow-up material)
These are real but either need their own design pass, touch lineage
or distributed machinery whose repair exceeds a review fix, or are
conscious postures to record. None blocks the release; each names its
shape so a future session can decompose without re-deriving.
1. **sqlite seam panic-safety (defense-in-depth)** —
`with_writer`/`with_reader`/`blocking_read` (`alkstore-sqlite/src/seam.rs`,
`substrate/schema.rs`) release their slot/pool connection after the
closure returns only. A panic inside the closure skips the release:
the single writer slot wedges forever (`Writer::acquire` waits on a
condvar with no timeout), and an abandoned reader connection
permanently shrinks the pool (`Readers.outstanding` never decrements
on abandonment). The tx seam already owns this class (`ConnLease`);
the auto-commit seams don't. No *reachable* panic path today (the
library is panic-free by the standing gates, and these closures take
no consumer code), so this is armor, not exposure — but the fix
needs abandonment plumbing on both `Writer` (drop + path-based
replenish) and `Readers` (an outstanding decrement), which is a
deliberate small design task, not an inline patch.
2. **sqlite post-watcher-death subscribe hang** — after the watcher
thread exits (db-file replacement), `subscribe()` still enrolls new
senders with no poller alive (`substrate/watcher.rs:391-396`): a
`listen()` or stream `subscribe()` on the dead store parks forever,
contradicting engine-sqlite.md's "on watcher death every subscriber
closes" posture (enforced only for pre-death subscribers). Needs a
dead-store/dead-watcher sign that new subscription paths consult —
a state-machine change across `store.rs`/`notify.rs`/`stream.rs`.
3. **sqlite watcher initial-stat failure self-kill** — an
identity-`stat` failure at watcher start seeds `(0, 0)`
(`watcher.rs:164-170`); the first *successful* later stat mismatches
it and drives the death path, spuriously closing every subscriber
on recovery from a transient stat hiccup. Rare, but the fix (an
identity-unknown state instead of a false identity) is another
watcher-state change — bundle with item 2 if either is taken up.
4. **pg forwarder register/unregister TOCTOU** — the registry refcount
and the LISTEN/UNLISTEN command emission are not one critical
section (`forwarder.rs:131-176` vs `438-482`): interleaved
register/unregister across tasks can leave a live refcount with the
server-side LISTEN cleared (both queued commands share a
generation, so no stale check saves it) until the next reconnect
re-issue. The fix is a decide-and-queue restructure inside the
forwarder — forwarder surgery that should ride its own session with
the existing test-seam vocabulary.
5. **pg server-side BIGINT overflow on consumer stamps** — the claim,
heartbeat, retry-reschedule, and retention-sweep statements compute
server-side sums over consumer-supplied i64 values
(`queue.rs:386/912/1000/714`, `lock.rs:91`): one row stamped with
`visibility_timeout_s = i64::MAX` (or retention `i64::MIN`) makes
every claim/heartbeat UPDATE fail with "bigint out of range", and
the failure is *sticky* per row. The client-size resolution is
saturated (`resolution.rs`); the row-stamp arithmetic is not. Fix
shape: clamp/validate at the enqueue seam (or `LEAST`/`GREATEST`
guard the server expressions) — but the *which side* question is
contract-adjacent (ADR-023 §2's totality wording) and deserves its
own decision, not an inline patch.
6. **pg forwarder hang-shaped arms** — two narrow ones: a failed
generation-verify/LISTEN batch is treated as connection death and
parks on `poll_task.await` forever even though the session may be
alive (`forwarder.rs:698-702/803-808`); and `close()`/`Drop` can
leak the listener session past shutdown when the serve loop is
awaiting a command on a black-holed connection (the `run_command`
await sits outside the shutdown `select`, `forwarder.rs:781`, no
timeout on this connection). Both want the same treatment family —
timeouts/bounded waits on the listener path — bundle into the
forwarder-hardening session (item 4).
7. **pg forwarder diagnosability** — the reconnect arm's connect
failures are swallowed with `.ok()` and the loop's exit discards the
poll error (`forwarder.rs:825/855-869`): an operator sees nothing
before wake loss. Related cross-cutting posture: the family has no
log facade and 17 library-path `eprintln!` sites carry its
diagnostics (verified secret-free — no DSN/password material ever
printed). A `log`/`tracing` adoption decision is a family-level
call; recorded rather than made here.
8. **sqlite listener-bridge asymmetry** — `listen()` parks one
`spawn_blocking` thread per subscription (`notify.rs:98-104`, tokio
blocking-pool ceiling ~512) while the stream bridge does the
identical job on a dedicated `std::thread`
(`stream.rs:368-379`); past ~500 concurrent listeners the *whole*
engine's seams queue behind parked bridges. Aligning the two
bridges (std-thread shape) is a small contained change deferred
alongside item 2's subscription-path work.
9. **sqlite run_schedules error flattening** —
`lease.renew(...).await.unwrap_or(false)` maps any renew failure
(including the closed-store `Database` error) to `LeadershipLost`
(`scheduler.rs:205-211`), misdirecting the documented respawn recipe
at a dead store. Small, but the right arm set (closed vs lost vs
storage failure) is a contract-adjacent error-classification change
on a stable surface — record, don't rush.
10. **mem growth postures (N-1 family)** — two perf/posture notes to
carry into the mem spec's growth section when next touched: the
subscribe path drains the full backlog into the receiver's pending
deque before the first yield, and pending grows at publish rate for
a stalled consumer (`stream.rs:314-331` — the documented
"drains to the tail then parks" shape, but unbounded on the
consumer side); the claim path is an O(total-live-rows) scan with
full-row clones per claim (`queue.rs:122-181`) — blessed economics
for the ephemeral tier, worth one sentence in `engine-mem.md` if
ever revisited.
11. **mem outbox outcome swallow** — `outbox run_once` drops the ack/
retry row-refs' booleans and returns `Ok(true)` even when delivery
outlived the visibility window and nothing landed
(`outbox.rs:104-122`). Inherent to the no-heartbeat outbox design
(at-least-once reclaim is the recovery), but a `debug_assert!` or
doc sentence pinning the "processed means delivered-or-reclaimable"
semantic would prevent future confusion.
12. **core `offset()` initial value** — `EventReceiver::offset()`
pins the post-yield value only; the pre-yield return (the seeded
checkpoint vs 0) is unpinned in the contract text. A doc-only fix
once the three engines' pre-yield values are confirmed equal (not
verified this session; left as a named gap).
13. **pg identifier truncation cross-channel collision** —
`LISTEN`/`UNLISTEN` interpolate the channel as a quoted identifier
(truncated at 63 bytes server-side) while `pg_notify` carries it as
a parameter; two distinct names sharing a 63-byte prefix can
silently collapse into one wake channel, with names unbounded by
the validation contract (the no-cap "length-independence" verdict
is deliberate). The honest cheap fix is a deployment-matrix/
docs note ("names longer than the PG identifier limit may
collide"); deferred here because the matrix was just finalized by
the gate — fold it into whichever doc pass runs next (or into the
publish session's reading).
14. **core error `Display` log-forging** — `InvalidName`/\
`ReservedName` / `InvalidSpec` interpolate raw consumer strings
into `Display`; control characters can forge log lines in naive
consumers. Typical-idiom risk, low; recorded.
15. **unsafe without `// SAFETY` in the substrate** — the eight
`unsafe { ctx.get_connection() }` UDF blocks
(`substrate/ops.rs:147-236`) carry no justification comments. The
pattern is the standard rusqlite UDF shape and provably
constrained, but AGENTS.md's own carve-out ("inline comments when
a non-obvious safety constraint would otherwise be missed") says
this is where they'd live. Not added this session: the substrate
is lineage-port code under ADR-012 §3's diff-fidelity posture —
comments must ride a PROVENANCE delta. Recorded for whenever the
substrate is next touched.
16. **Cosmetic metadata asymmetry** — the three engines' dev-dep tokio
features disagree (`rt-multi-thread+macros+time` / `test-util` /
`rt+macros`); harmless (the contract suite carries the test
runtime) but an easy-to-trip asymmetry when copying test code.
Recorded, not normalized mid-release.
## False positives caught on verification (for the record)
- **mem `WakeBus::attach` check-then-act race** (reported as a
finding): disproven by read — the `closed` check happens *under* the
registry guard, and `close()`'s `store(true)` is sequenced before
its guarded `clear()`, so the guard's acquire/release supplies the
happens-before edge; no interleaving leaks a subscription. No fix
needed; noted here so a future audit doesn't re-derive it.
- The "tx-path negative seed divergence" was real (fixed, item 2), but
the analogous claim *against SQLite's tx form* was not — its
in-tx SQL is already raw-seed-and-monotone; the divergence was pg's
clamp and mem's phantom-zero merge read only.
## What was checked and clean (summary)
- **Security**: SQL injection — every consumer-supplied string rides
bound parameters across all engines (the `format!`-built SQL
interpolates only engine-owned identifiers through the quoting
helpers; savepoint/table keys are compile-time constants);
`env::var` confined to test harness plumbing (re-grepped);
no `fs` writes outside tempdirs; no process spawning; no
secret/DSN material in any of the 17 library-path `eprintln!`s.
- **Core crate**: zero panics/unsafe/`unwrap` outside tests, its
three-dependency posture intact, `#[non_exhaustive]` placement and
the hidden-constructor seam exactly per ADR-017, object-safety and
validation coverage as pinned. (Post-fix, pre-abort-armor caveat in
item 5 above.)
- **Mem engine**: wasm32 subset verified (`cargo check` clean, tokio
sync+time only, no `spawn_blocking`/`fs`/`thread`); all deadline
arithmetic saturating; queue state machine, trim semantics, three-way
arithmetic, scheduler boundaries/catch-up/leadership re-read clean.
- **pg engine**: injection-clean, `in_tx` pool accounting exact on
every arm, forwarder reconnect invariants sound outside the recorded
TOCTOU/hang arms, `FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED` claim semantics and
scheduler serialization consistent with sqlite/mem.
- **Cross-cutting**: no `todo!`/`unimplemented!`/`dbg!`/`.ok()` anywhere;
metadata coherent (versions, path-dep bounds, publish fields,
`exclude = ["fuzz"]`); README/CHANGELOG claims spot-read true
against code; fuzz/shared targets thin and invariant-correct.
## Gates re-run after the fixes (this session)
`cargo build`, `cargo test --workspace` (green server-less), the full
live pg column (127 + 25 + 9 — including the new `in_tx_reads_see_own_writes`
negative-seed leg against the real server), `cargo clippy
--all-targets -- -D warnings`, `cargo fmt --check`, the fuzz corpus
replay (6/6 — including the corrected encode/invariant), the wasm32
check, and the doc gate — **all green**.
