lifecycle.rs

//! Engine lifecycle — settings/workspace-root setters, runtime
//! mem add/remove, reload, and export.
//!
//! `register_writable_mem` / `unregister_writable_mem` are the
//! engine-level primitives the `memstead_mem_create` / `memstead_mem_delete`
//! handlers build on. `reload_one_mem*` re-reads a mount's backend
//! and refreshes the in-memory store; `reload_each_writable_mem*`
//! sweeps every writable mount. `export_markdown` regenerates entity
//! markdown for folder mounts; `export_mem` produces a portable
//! `.mem` archive via the backend-aware dispatch in
//! [`crate::ops::export`].
