glm-5.3-flash 5abd351c86 Wave-6 decomposition (mem engine): eleven tasks per the pg-wave rhythm — foundations (crate scaffold, MemStore::new isolation, guarded state core, wake routing, wasm32 gate from birth), seam-tx (the load-bearing tx overlay: eleven staged _tx methods, commit-merge + wake-at-commit — pg-fix-tx-wake's discipline structural from the start, drop = discard trivial, with_tx panic posture), mechanisms mutually parallel (notify-listen close-at-engine-drop/no-replay/never-coalesced; queues = ADR-010 machine driver-free with the equal-jitter curve and opts resolution as ADR-012 §2's third owner; streams log+offsets+trim; locks TTL registry, no busy-path analog), scheduler-outbox (tick/catch-up-64/leadership through the __alkstore_scheduler lock, engine-uniform per ADR-009 §4; outbox over queues with the 60/5/5 seam stamp), integration (suite third StoreFactory column green on host under a current-thread flavor, wasm32 acceptance items, engine-mem.md to implementation-complete), and the review-wave-6 gate (born-pinned audit: conformance read, discharge-map wiring, wasm items, three-way equivalence green, class-1 window discipline). Window riders: suite-harness-current-thread — the wave's one suite-side pre-task, past_stamp_sleep's blocking sleep goes async per review 003's properties.rs:1683 posture note, enabling the current-thread flavor; pg-fix-scheduler-tick-seam — review 003 Finding 1, the cfg(test) transient-fault seam driving the real tick_with_retries through retry-then-success and exhaustion arms (the last uncovered wave-4 hardening arm, sqlite-commit-error-arm pattern). Task hygiene: pg-fix-open-path frontmatter fixed (unquoted 'max_size: 0' colon-space inside the name scalar broke YAML parsing — taskgraph validate had been red one-error since the wave-4 fix-batch decomposition; also restores review-wave-4-fixes' dependency resolution). implementation.md: wave-6 table row → decomposed, task-set listing with the parallelism note (rider + pre-task independent of the mem chain; rider closes before the gate), wave-6 decomposition bullet in the review-rounds record. Docs-only change; verified taskgraph validate (60 tasks, no cycles), cargo fmt --check, cross-reference read

## Description
The seam task, and the wave's load-bearing artifact
(engine-mem.md §The tx overlay): the `Store` trait impl plus the tx
overlay's full discipline.
- **`Store` surface**: the trait methods (`notify`, `stream`,
`queue`, `outbox`, `try_lock`, `listen`, `schedule`, `unschedule`,
`run_schedules`, `begin_tx`, `with_tx`) implemented over the
state core. `queue(name, opts)`/`outbox(name)` create/return
handles whose opts ride the handle (queues are names, not config
owners — the §3a stamp rules apply identically). Mechanism handles
are core-owned trait objects; engine types never appear in
signatures.
- **The tx overlay**: `begin_tx()` allocates a handle-private overlay.
All eleven `*_tx` methods stage effects in it — `enqueue_tx`,
`publish_tx`, `publish_with_key_tx`, `notify_tx`,
`save_offset_tx`, `get_job_tx`, `get_offset_tx`, `read_since_tx`,
`read_from_consumer_tx`, `outbox_enqueue_tx`, `commit`. Reads *inside* the tx merge the overlay over committed state (read-
your-own-writes, no round-trips: the tx-read rows'
`get_job_tx`/`read_since_tx` behaviors come free, but pin them).
Opt-stamping of staged effects runs at *enqueue* time on the
overlay (resolution identical to the no-handle paths, per
[ADR-020](../architecture/decisions/020-enqueue-opt-semantics-and-bridges.md)
§3: `enqueue_tx` stamps plain derived defaults 300/3/5/none;
`outbox_enqueue_tx` the 60/5/5 set).
- **Commit-merge + wake-at-commit**: commit merges the overlay
atomically (single guarded merge) and fires the overlay's pending
wakes *in the same operation* — a tx-staged notify delivers nothing
until the merge (the discipline pg got wrong and fixed via
`pg-fix-tx-wake`; here structural, and pinned from birth by the
suite's tx-commit-atomicity rows once integration wires them).
- **Drop = discard**: dropping the handle without commit/rollback
discards the overlay (rollback explicit form too) — no-ghosts
trivially, uncommitted state never touched committed state.
`with_tx` composition: `Ok` ⇒ commit, `Err`/drop/panic ⇒ rollback
(the N-5 panic posture applies; overlay discard must be panic-safe
through the unwind's drop).
- **Numeric domains** ([ADR-023](../architecture/decisions/023-fourth-review-round.md)
§2): validation at the trait-impl entry, before any storage-layer
effect — extents clamp empty, durations reject, boundaries total.
Same entry-point rule as the other engines, realized engine-side.
Engine-internal unit tests pin the overlay discipline directly
(merge atomicity, wake-after-not-before, drop-discard, panic-through-
unwind) in the family's mechanism-test posture; the suite column's
cross-engine rows land in `mem-engine-integration`.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] The full `Store`/`TxHandle` trait surfaces implemented over
guarded state; no engine types in consumer signatures
- [ ] Overlay staging → commit-merge → wake-at-commit pinned by unit
tests (a tx-staged notify delivers nothing pre-commit, one wake
post-commit; enqueue/publish commit-atomicity shapes)
- [ ] Drop-without-commit and explicit rollback leave zero residue;
`with_tx` panic rolls back through the unwind's drop
- [ ] Tx reads see staged effects; other views see none pre-commit;
post-rollback reads' subjects gone (no-ghosts for reads)
- [ ] Numeric-domain guards at entry (extents/durations/boundaries)
pinned per [ADR-023](../architecture/decisions/023-fourth-review-round.md) §2
- [ ] `cargo check --target wasm32-unknown-unknown -p alkstore-mem`
clean; workspace gates green
