SQLite engine integration: lint removal, contract-suite adoption, backlog column (task sqlite-engine-integration)

- Remove the wave-2 lint suppressions from substrate/mod.rs; the
  six genuinely dead surfaces the removal exposed are cut, not
  suppressed, and registered D-32..D-36 in PROVENANCE.md
  (arg_opt_i64, ops::now_unix, queue_next_claim_at,
  Writer::try_acquire, UpdateWatcher::spawn,
  SharedUpdateWatcher::new); test-observation items
  (subscriber_count, the poll-interval default re-export) are
  honestly #[cfg(test)]-gated
- Contract suite: eight new version-stamped backlog rows
  (extent-clamp + boundary totality, duration-refusal,
  encode_payload round-trip, PayloadTooLarge-never-produced SQLite
  arm, drop=rollback no-ghosts, in-tx read-your-own-writes,
  enqueue-opts resolution, receiver close/save arms)
- Fix the exemplar row's real-engine sequencing defect: the held tx
  handle across the with_tx leg deadlocked any single-writer factory
  (mock-invisible; ADR-007's parking is the pinned behavior)
- SQLite factory: SqliteFactory in the new tests/contract_suite.rs
  target; all nine rows green against it; the factory contract
  (isolation + idempotent teardown) pinned
- Engine lib docs: the single-host and writer-parking posture
  statements surfaced under # Posture
- Gates: build/test/clippy -D warnings/fmt green; coverage 93.6%
  lines, misses confined to error arms

 | D-30 | port delta | `open_conn_bootstrapped` — new function stacking the engine's full per-connection open posture (pragmas, notify, `attach_alkstore_functions`, `bootstrap_schema`), and `Readers::acquire`'s open path switched from bare `open_conn` to it (fresh connections only — the pool never re-bootstraps a reused connection). The lineage's pools opened readers pragmas+notify only, the function set + schema living only on the writer; this engine's reader-slot operations (claim/ack, stream reads, lock ops, scheduler checks, leadership probes) run this substrate's SQL functions on pooled connections, so every pooled connection carries the full surface | `schema.rs` (`open_conn_bootstrapped`, `Readers::acquire` open path) | engine-sqlite.md's connection architecture ("each connection runs the substrate's bootstrap at open — the writer and each pooled reader") — engine-layer obligation of `sqlite-engine-open-opts`; landed with the engine's `open` wiring | ours |
 | D-31 | port delta | `ack_batch(ids_json)` drops the `worker_id` filter — the D-12 predicate keeps `state = 'processing' AND claim_expires_at >= unixepoch()` per id, but the batch form loses its lineage-shaped `worker_id = ?2` conjunct: the contract's `Queue::ack_batch(ids)` carries no worker identity (ADR-019 §1's surface — the batch ack is the batch form of *ack*, its outcomes are per-id independent, and a queue-scoped handle does not re-bind a claimant at call time). The single-row `ack(job_id, worker_id)` keeps its worker conjunct unchanged | `queue_ops.rs` (`ack_batch` + its substrate test's call shape) | ADR-019 §1 (the `ack_batch(ids) -> count` surface, worker-less); ADR-010 §1 (batch form of ack, per-id predicate); ADR-012 §4 (delta discipline — D-12's re-derivation adjusted) | ours |
+| D-32 | drop | `arg_opt_i64` cut (the optional-argument coercion helper) and the engine-level `now_unix` wiring that consumed it: upstream used `arg_opt_i64` at the enqueue/claim-family scalar registrations (honker_ops.rs:382–1158) whose superseded queue functions this fork did not port (D-04) and whose re-derivation (D-12) resolves opts engine-side before the call — the substrate's re-derived entry points take primitives, so no registered SQL function reads an optional i64 argument. Kept: `arg_i64` (the mandatory-arg form, still consumed by the notify/stream/lock function set). The helper's own probe test re-expresses its property through the shared `real_to_i64` coercion directly | `ops.rs` (`arg_opt_i64`; the `optional_arg_helper_keeps_null_and_converts_whole_reals` probe re-shaped) | ADR-012 §2 (the contract-blind boundary: contract semantics resolve engine-side, so the lineage's optional-arg SQL-entry-point shape has no consumer here); wave-3 lint-removal obligation (task sqlite-engine-integration) — cut, not suppressed | ours |
+| D-33 | drop | `now_unix` cut from `ops.rs` (the lineage's shared clock read): upstream's single `lib.rs`/`honker_ops.rs` scope shared one clock helper across every op region; the fold (D-17) split the substrate into modules and each region now carries its own `unixepoch()` read — `queue_ops.rs` has its own (D-12's re-derivation), `resolution.rs` owns the engine layer's single-clock read (ADR-020 §1's one-enqueue-one-clock-read, mapped into the contract taxonomy), and `ops.rs`'s lock/stream ops never read the clock outside tests. `ops.rs`'s lock-renew test now reads `unixepoch()` inline; `queue_ops.rs`'s own copy stays (its callers need the fallible-primitive form) | `ops.rs` (helper body; one test's call shape re-expressed) | ADR-012 §3/§4 (module fold made the per-region clock a D-17 fact; the engine-side read is the single clock the contract pinning names — resolution.rs, not a substrate share); wave-3 lint-removal obligation — cut, not suppressed | ours |
+| D-34 | drop | `queue_next_claim_at` cut (the queue's earliest-wake deadline query): upstream exposed it as a `honker_queue_next_claim_at` scalar registration for external poll-loop drivers and its leader loop used it to compute the sleep horizon; this fork's leader loop computes the boundary out of `scheduler_tick` + `scheduler_soonest` inside the tick transaction (the engine's scheduler.rs) and exposes no substrate-side next-wake function — the v1 scheduler surface has no consumer-inventory row for one | `queue_ops.rs` (function + its substrate test `queue_next_claim_at_reports_the_earliest_wake`) | ADR-009 (the v1 scheduler collapse: register/tick/soonest/unregister only — D-21's surface rule; no wake-time query on the v1 surface); ADR-012 §2 (the substrate exposes what the engine calls, and the engine never calls this); wave-3 lint-removal obligation — cut, not suppressed | ours |
+| D-35 | drop | `Writer::try_acquire` cut (the non-blocking writer-slot try): upstream's embedding harness used it for try-shaped entry points its surface exposed; this engine's seam always blocks (`acquire`) — the writer-slot lease is a *parks-the-writer* lease by design (ADR-007's honest model), so a try-shaped acquire would contradict the posture rather than extend it. The probe tests driving it re-express their properties through `acquire`/`release`/`close` (the engine-reachable surface); the engine-level lease tests (`tx_tests`' lease/parking suite) pin the observable posture end-to-end | `schema.rs` (`Writer::try_acquire` + the three `writer_reader_tests` call sites) | ADR-007 (the caller-held-lease seam: `begin_tx` parks a concurrent writer — no try-shaped begin exists on the contract surface); ADR-012 §2 (nothing on the engine side reaches a try-acquire); wave-3 lint-removal obligation — cut, not suppressed | ours |
+| D-36 | drop | `UpdateWatcher::spawn` and `SharedUpdateWatcher::new` cut (the default-cadence convenience constructors): upstream's embedding harnesses opened watchers without explicit config; this engine's single open path always constructs a `WatcherConfig` — from `SqliteOpts` (ADR-023 §4's `poll_interval` knob, `None` = the 1 ms default) — and passes it through `*_with_config`; a config-less twin would re-create two open postures (the mixed-flag inconsistency D-29 resolved at the URI layer). `WatcherConfig::default()` remains the default's single owner; the tests driving the cut constructors now build the config explicitly, pinning the same behavior | `watcher.rs` (both constructors + five watcher-test call sites) | ADR-023 §4 (the cadence knob rides the engine's opts — one open posture carries config); ADR-012 §2 (one construction path the engine reviews); wave-3 lint-removal obligation — cut, not suppressed | ours |

 ## Notes
 
-> To be filled by implementation agent
+> Decisions of record the description didn't pin:
+
+- **Lint removal cut six substrate items, registered D-32..D-36** —
+  lifting the two `#![allow]`s surfaced six genuinely dead surfaces,
+  all cut rather than wired, each an ADR-018 register entry with its
+  reason: `arg_opt_i64` (upstream consumed it at the optional-arg SQL
+  entry points whose queue functions D-04 dropped — the re-derivation
+  resolves opts engine-side), `ops::now_unix` (the fold D-17 gave
+  each module region its own clock read; `resolution.rs` owns the
+  engine layer's single clock), `queue_next_claim_at` (upstream's
+  external-poll-driver function; the v1 scheduler surface has no
+  next-wake query — the engine's leader loop derives the boundary
+  from `scheduler_tick` + `scheduler_soonest`), `Writer::try_acquire`
+  (a try-shaped begin doesn't exist on the contract — `begin_tx`
+  *parks* on the lease by design, ADR-007; a try-acquire would
+  contradict the posture), and `UpdateWatcher::spawn` /
+  `SharedUpdateWatcher::new` (the config-less convenience twins —
+  this engine's single open posture always constructs
+  `WatcherConfig` from `SqliteOpts`, ADR-023 §4; a second
+  config-less path would recreate the mixed-posture shape D-29
+  resolved). None changed kept-fidelity posture — all six are
+  `drop`-category entries against the *kept* set, with the affected
+  substrate tests re-expressing their properties through the
+  reachable surface (no assertion strength lost: the probe tests
+  test the same coercion/lease behavior through the surviving forms).
+- **Two substrate items kept under `#[cfg(test)]`** rather than cut:
+  `SharedUpdateWatcher::subscriber_count` and the
+  `DEFAULT_WATCHER_POLL_INTERVAL` re-export — engine-side tests
+  reach them (the leak/no-leak pins, the 1 ms default pin); they are
+  test-observation surface, honestly gated `#[cfg(test)]`, not
+  suppressed. `open_store` was likewise promoted `pub(crate)` (the
+  store tests construct the concrete handle; `open` stays the
+  consumer surface).
+- **The exemplar row had a real-engine sequencing defect — fixed
+  suite-side** (a suite-text change, ADR-017 §2 class 4): the
+  name-validation row held its `tx` handle alive across the whole
+  battery including the final `with_tx` leg. The mock harness never
+  saw this; a real engine's `begin_tx` parks a concurrent begin on
+  the writer slot (ADR-007's honest model), so the row deadlocked a
+  real factory. The tx battery is now scoped so the handle drops
+  before the `with_tx` leg. The row's *assertions* are unchanged —
+  only the sequencing fix — but the incident is the wave-5 lesson
+  the factory exists to surface: rows are mock-blind until an
+  executes them against a real single-writer engine.
+- **Row set** (nine total — the exemplar + eight new, all in
+  `alkstore-contract-suite/src/properties.rs`, one owner,
+  version-stamped per the convention, each a public `pub async
+  fn(&dyn StoreFactory)`): the ADR-023-stamped rows (extent-clamp
+  including the boundary-totality legs, duration-refusal,
+  `encode_payload` round-trip), and the engine-scoped rows the task
+  names (PayloadTooLarge-never-produced — the SQLite arm, the pg
+  rejection arm rides wave 4's adoption of the same row text; the
+  drop=rollback no-ghosts; in-tx read-your-own-writes;
+  enqueue-opts resolution — ADR-020 §1–§3; receiver close/save arms
+  — ADR-021 §5). **Plain-path open (§3) and poll cadence (§4) pin
+  engine-side, not as suite rows**: both are constructor-level
+  SQLite-native facts not expressible over `StoreFactory::open()` —
+  `uri_shaped_open_path_is_a_literal_filename` and
+  `poll_interval_flows_to_the_watcher_config` (stamped,
+  `open_tests.rs`) are this engine's rows for them; wave 4's pg
+  column simply doesn't carry them (they're SQLite-scoped backlog
+  rows per core-contract.md).
+- **The factory** (`alkstore-sqlite/tests/contract_suite.rs`): a fresh
+  never-before-used temp file per `open` under a per-instance
+  directory; teardown = directory delete, idempotent
+  (already-deleted ⇒ `Ok`). Its isolation/idempotence contract has
+  its own pin in the test target (`opens_are_isolated_and_teardown_is_idempotent`);
+  receiver-close rows drive the terminal-close arm by dropping the
+  store handle (the dispose carrier every engine has), not teardown —
+  deleting files under a live store is not a close mechanism.
+- **Coverage spot-check** (cargo-llvm-cov, engine crate): 93.59%
+  lines / ~89% regions, every file ≥85% lines; the misses are error
+  arms and Windows-only `file_id` variants
+  (`watcher.rs`'s HighRes/LowRes halves) — no large uncovered regions
+  outside error arms, the gate the task pinned.
 
 ## Summary
 
-> To be filled on completion
+> Landed: the two `#![allow]` lints removed from
+> `substrate/mod.rs` (its module docs re-stated to the wave-3 wired
+> posture); the removal surfaced six dead surfaces — cut, each
+> registered D-32..D-36 in `PROVENANCE.md` (queue-side: `arg_opt_i64`,
+> `now_unix`, `queue_next_claim_at`; writer/watcher-side:
+> `Writer::try_acquire`, `UpdateWatcher::spawn`,
+> `SharedUpdateWatcher::new`), their probe tests re-expressed through
+> the reachable surface; two test-observation items honestly
+> `#[cfg(test)]`-gated (`subscriber_count`, the
+> `DEFAULT_WATCHER_POLL_INTERVAL` re-export); no allows re-added —
+> clippy `-D warnings` green without them.
+>
+> Contract-suite adoption: eight new rows in
+> `alkstore-contract-suite/src/properties.rs` (extent-clamp +
+> boundary-totality, duration-refusal, payload round-trip,
+> `PayloadTooLarge`-never-produced SQLite arm, drop=rollback
+> no-ghosts, in-tx read-your-own-writes, enqueue-opts resolution,
+> receiver close/save arms) — all version-stamped, all re-exported
+> from the suite lib. `store::SqliteFactory` implemented in the
+> engine's new integration test target
+> (`alkstore-sqlite/tests/contract_suite.rs`), running all nine rows
+> (the exemplar + the eight) against the SQLite factory — 10 tests,
+> green; the factory's isolation/idempotence contract pinned
+> alongside. Found and fixed suite-side: the exemplar row's
+> hold-the-tx-across-`with_tx` sequencing deadlocked any real
+> single-writer factory (the mock never saw it).
+>
+> Engine crate lib docs: the posture statements surfaced under a
+> `# Posture` heading — single-host (ADR-016) and writer-parking
+> (ADR-007's negative consequence) spelled as the crate's identity
+> statements.
+>
+> Verified: workspace `cargo build`/`cargo test` green (25 + 186 +
+> 10 + 3 + harness), clippy `--workspace --all-targets -D warnings`
+> clean, `cargo fmt --check` clean; engine-crate coverage 93.59%
+> lines (cargo-llvm-cov), misses confined to error arms and
+> Windows-only watcher variants.
