5//! Stable-memory allocation-governance primitives for Internet Computer
6//! canister upgrades.
7//!
8//! `ic-memory` prevents stable-memory slot drift.
9//!
10//! Once a stable key is committed to a physical allocation slot, future binaries
11//! must either reopen that same stable key on that same slot or declare a new
12//! stable key.
13//!
14//! The crate records and validates durable ownership in both directions: an
15//! active stable key cannot move to a different physical slot, and an active
16//! physical slot cannot be reused by a different stable key.
17//!
18//! The intended integration flow is:
19//!
20//! 1. Recover the persisted allocation ledger.
21//! 2. Declare the stable stores expected by the current binary.
22//! 3. Validate those declarations against ledger history and any framework
23//!    policy.
24//! 4. Commit the next generation.
25//! 5. Only then open stable-memory handles through a validated allocation
26//!    session.
27//!
28//! This crate owns allocation invariants, not framework policy. Namespace
29//! rules, controller authorization, endpoint lifecycle, schema migrations, and
30//! application validation belong to the framework or application.
31//!
32//! For the default `MemoryManager` runtime, registered `ic-memory` range claims
33//! are generic allocation policy and are enforced before caller-supplied
34//! policy. A framework such as Canic that wants higher-level range semantics
35//! should adapt to this contract deliberately: either register the ranges it
36//! wants `ic-memory` to enforce, or omit user ranges and enforce application
37//! space through its own [`AllocationPolicy`].
38//!
39//! Use these primitives before opening stable-memory handles. Integrations
40//! should recover the historical ledger, declare the stores expected by the
41//! current binary, validate declarations against history and policy, commit a
42//! new generation, and only then publish a validated allocation session that can
43//! open slots through a storage substrate.
44//!
45//! [`AllocationBootstrap`] is the golden path for whichever layer owns a given
46//! ledger store. Canic may own bootstrap for a framework canister and compose
47//! IcyDB/application declarations through its registry; IcyDB may own bootstrap
48//! directly for generated database stores; or a standalone application canister
49//! may own bootstrap itself. Exactly one owner should bootstrap one ledger
50//! store. Multiple layers in the same canister must either compose declarations
51//! into that owner or use distinct ledger stores and allocation domains.
52//!
53//! `ic-stable-structures` `MemoryManager` IDs are the first-class supported
54//! physical slot substrate. That ID domain is `u8`: IDs `0..=254` are usable,
55//! and ID `255` is always the `ic-stable-structures` unallocated sentinel.
56//! The crate still keeps narrow internal abstractions for storage adapters and
57//! diagnostics, but the native IC path is
58//! `MemoryManager` ID 0 -> `ic-stable-structures::Cell<StableCellLedgerRecord,
59//! _>` -> [`LedgerCommitStore`] -> [`CommittedGenerationBytes`] ->
60//! [`LedgerPayloadEnvelope`] -> [`RecoveredLedger`] -> [`ValidatedAllocations`].
61//!
62//! `ic-memory` is not a replacement for `ic-stable-structures` collections and
63//! does not wrap typed stores such as `StableBTreeMap`.
