Supersedes the inventory's single-crate lean (which was inductive from
'feature sets do not diverge'). Reason recorded: the split isolates the
engines' real asymmetry of work — sqlite rides honker's machinery as
the baseline; postgres is the build-heavy side (LISTEN/NOTIFY +
pg-boss-family schema work) — and makes future engines additive rather
than feature-graph edits. The inventory's uniform-feature-family fact
stands, re-read as 'the core contract stays small'; correction noted in
both documents. Phase-0 plan updated (step 2 resolved, step 3 references
the core-crate trait surface).
The inventory graded streams absent because no paused consumer document
names it; the operator correction: type-filtered event watching from
several places (e.g. repo-change subscriptions in a git app at
gitea/gitlab scale) is a basic reactivity requirement — and notify
(fire-and-forget, no replay) cannot serve subscriptions honestly.
The wanters are applications above the paused crates, which is why the
docs don't carry the row.
Inventory: streams row recorded on operator authority (the REQ-2
recording convention from alkblobs requirements.md), confidence system
gains the operator-authority grade; rate-limits becomes the sole
first-cut candidate. phase-0: OQ-ST-01 summary and OQ-ST-04's
contract-candidates updated to match.
consumer-inventory.md: per-feature scope synthesis over the paused
consumers' written artifacts (alkfs phase-0, alkgit architecture,
alkblobs ADRs, alknet-filesystem POC) — dissolves the circular
'deferring to consumers who can't run until we exist' framing.
notify/locks pinned-or-documented (alkfs invalidation + writer coord,
alkblobs fleet sweeper); queues/outbox documented (alkfs sync outbox,
alkblobs embedder-owned cadence); scheduler documented-thin; streams/
rate-limits/result-storage have no named consumer — kept per working
posture with cut flags, to revisit before implementation.
phase-0.md: OQ-ST-01 answered by the inventory; OQ-ST-02 narrowed
(uniform feature family across engines favors single-crate shape);
OQ-ST-07 sharpened (no consumer needs the loadable-extension surface —
cut-only decision); OQ-ST-04 contract-pinning scoped to inventory rows;
plan step 1 marked done; references extended.
AGENTS.md: architecture context gains the inventory with its
add-a-row-before-assuming rule.
