//! The engine: data model state, verbs, journaling and replay
//! (/03, /05).
//!
//! All state lives in the flat structures of `plugmem-arena`; every
//! mutating verb journals itself through the caller's
//! [`Storage`] and is replayed through the same
//! internal `apply_*` path on open — the journal's ids are authoritative,
//! so replay is deterministic and idempotent over a reapplied tail.
//!
//! The engine carries the structural sources (facts, entities, edges,
//! tags, BM25, temporal) and — when `Config::dim > 0` — the vector layer:
//! quantized vectors in a flat [`VecPool`], searched as a fourth recall
//! source and used by similar-detection. `maintain` (compaction) still
//! lands separately.
