liminal-server 0.24.9

//! Where the incarnation stream's history is bounded by policy.
//!
//! One estate-global append-only stream replayed from genesis makes a
//! regressing scalar header unrepresentable, and costs a boot every row the
//! estate ever wrote. This module keeps the first property and pays a bounded
//! price for it, by rotating each server incarnation into its OWN stream:
//!
//! ```text
//! liminal/participant/incarnation/v2                       genesis (pre-fix)
//! liminal/participant/incarnation/v2/incarnation/{n}        epoch of incarnation n
//! liminal/participant/incarnation/v2/anchor                 CAS value naming n
//! ```
//!
//! **No event in any epoch carries a header.** An epoch's resume seed is read
//! off its own KEY — epoch `n` replays from the header `(n - 1, no ordinal, not
//! exhausted)` and its first row is the Startup that the protocol's own
//! [`prepare_server_incarnation_startup`](liminal_protocol::lifecycle::prepare_server_incarnation_startup)
//! turns into exactly `n`. The header is still a consequence of protocol
//! transitions applied to canonical inputs; the rotation only moves where those
//! inputs start, so the grammar has gained no field a writer could regress.
//!
//! What names the key is the anchor, and what makes the anchor safe is that it
//! is only ever read as a HINT and only ever rolled FORWARD. A boot walks from
//! the anchor over every successor epoch that actually exists in the store and
//! adopts the highest, so an anchor that lags — a crash between the epoch's
//! fsync and the anchor's compare-and-swap — is repaired, and an anchor that
//! names an incarnation below durable history is overruled by that history.
//! Regressing the resume point therefore requires DESTROYING durable epochs,
//! not merely writing a value; and an epoch whose canonical inputs do not
//! produce the incarnation its key names is refused outright
//! ([`IncarnationStreamError::EpochHeaderMismatch`]).
//!
//! What is traded is stated in
//! `docs/design/INCARNATION-STREAM-BOUND-2026-08-29.md`: epochs below the
//! anchored one become dead history for the store vacuum to reclaim, and this
//! module never deletes a durable row.
