//! # Best-effort alive-task view
//!
//! [`AliveTracker`] builds an activity cache from received lifecycle events.
//! It supports fast status queries.
//! It is not the source of truth; the registry owns task membership.
//!
//! ## Inputs
//!
//! | Input                             | Effect on the cache                       |
//! |-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
//! | Lifecycle event                   | Create, update, or remove one keyed entry |
//! | Registry identities after bus lag | Remove stale identity-keyed entries       |
//!
//! ## Keys
//!
//! Events normally use [`TaskId`].
//! An event without an identity falls back to the task name.
//!
//! Names may be reused after removal.
//! Identity keys keep a late event from an old run from changing the newer run's entry.
//! They do not make this cache authoritative.
//!
//! ## Rules
//!
//! - Lifecycle events create and update entries. Reconciliation can remove them.
//! - While an entry exists, events with `seq <= last_seq` for the same key are ignored as stale.
//! - `TaskStarting` marks the current attempt as alive.
//! - Stop, failure, cancellation, and actor-end events mark it as not alive.
//! - `TaskRemoved` deletes the cache entry.
//! - `reconcile` removes identities no longer present in the registry.
//! - Queries can lag or miss state because event delivery is best-effort.
//!
//! Alive means that the latest applied lifecycle event for a task run is `TaskStarting`.
//! A registered task can be marked not alive while it waits for a permit, retry, successful restart, or terminal cleanup.
