//! What:
//!  The process that owns one item of a copy transaction (a journal, a stage claim, a temporary file), written into the
//!  item's own name or text, and the proof of whether that process still runs.
//! Why:
//!  Concurrent adds in one repository must never wait for one another, so no lock stands between them. An item has exactly
//!  one owner, and any other command may touch an item only when its owner is proven dead: the live copy of an add is never
//!  recovered or reaped, a dead one is. The owner is part of the item's name, so taking over a dead owner's journal is one
//!  atomic rename (a single winner, no lock file, no stale lock to retire).
//!
//! In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
//! ```ts
//! const owner = currentCopyOwner(); // { pid, birthIdentity, pidNamespace }
//! const name = `${id}.${owner.token()}.json`;
//! if (!CopyOwner.fromToken(token).isAlive(path)) { /* the item may be taken over */ }
//! ```
