Counts affected graph and dependency-cache rows, excluding readiness and metadata.
Replacements count both the deletion and insertion; relinks include refs and edges.
Resolution counters describe work performed, not SQLite writes.
Apply to a private copy of the base generation’s database, never a published file.
The caller owns copying, durability and pointer publication. All graph changes and
the fingerprint commit atomically; errors roll back to the supplied base. An old
binding-cache schema takes the cold path; a mismatched manifest is refused.
