// Dead-code tolerated module-wide: this publish-safety validator lands
// ahead of the semantic backfill/publish path that will gate on it.
// Downstream beads (.5.4 truthful hybrid fallback, .5.5 model-acquisition
// hardening) and the backfill loop consume these verdicts.
#![allow(dead_code)]
//! Semantic checkpoint resume + partial-publish safety (bead
//! cass-fleet-resilience-20260608-uojcg.5.3).
//!
//! The hard correctness rule: a vector tier must **never** be published if
//! it would lie about its DB coverage. A tier built against an older DB
//! generation, or one whose backfill was interrupted, or whose index/HNSW
//! files are orphaned, must not be advertised as queryable — otherwise
//! `--mode semantic` silently returns stale or partial results that an agent
//! trusts as complete.
//!
//! This module derives two pure things from checkpoint/tier signals:
//! 1. [`PublishSafety`] — whether a partial tier is safe to publish now, and
//! if not, exactly why (so the caller fails closed instead of guessing).
//! 2. [`CheckpointResume`] — where a backfill should resume, preserving
//! whole-conversation boundaries so resume never splits a conversation's
//! embeddings.
//!
//! Both operate on an explicit [`CheckpointSignals`] input so every case —
//! interrupted backfill, DB mutation mid-backfill, checkpoint resume,
//! fingerprint mismatch, partial tier availability, publish failure, and
//! orphaned vectors — is unit-testable without a model or DB. Enums
//! serialize as snake_case.
