//! Typed const-constructable handles into an ontology corpus.
//!
//! [`EntityRef`] is the build-time→runtime handle emitted by codegen and
//! consumed by ontology `from_codegen` functors. The phantom marker `P`
//! tags each handle with the ontology it belongs to, so handles from
//! different ontologies are distinct types at compile time but compile
//! to the same machine code (a single `u64`).
//!
//! Literature: typed-handle pattern is the standard way to express
//! ontology-distinct identity at the type level — see Spivak (2014)
//! *Category Theory for the Sciences* §3.1 on typed morphisms, and the
//! `Reference<N>` pattern already in pr4xis-domains.
