history.rs

//! Per-entity history — the narrative query behind an inspector's
//! "how did this entity get this way".
//!
//! The engine already records everything a story needs (commit
//! subjects, provenance trailers, agent notes, batch entity lists,
//! rename chains) but exposed it only as branch-wide feeds; every
//! consumer filtered client-side. This module owns the per-entity
//! filter, rename-chain attribution, and pagination — one semantic for
//! every surface.
//!
//! Data sources per backend, all pre-existing:
//! - git-branch: the commit-note walk that already rides
//!   `changes_since` (`BackendChanges::notes`, newest-first) — full
//!   fidelity: sha, subject, trailers, batch `Entities:` lists,
//!   authoritative rename pairs in the subject.
//! - folder / in-memory: `MemBackend::read_provenance` (the
//!   `.memstead/changes.jsonl` line scan / its in-memory analogue,
//!   oldest-first) — same story, coarser: no batch entity lists, and
//!   rename records carry only the post-rename id, so chains are not
//!   stitchable. Both gaps surface as stated `limitations`, never as
//!   silently absent entries.
//! - archive: the seam records no history — typed refusal, never a
//!   fabricated empty story.
//!
//! This query is read-only and mutates nothing; it deliberately stays
//! narrative-only (content-level diffs per touch are the pairwise
//! `diff` op's job, git-branch consumers only).
