/**
* @module indexReadiness
* @description The single honest-readiness classifier shared by the vector,
* graph and metadata index sites. It exists to kill "Pattern A" the dishonest
* readiness proxy where `size() > 0` / `isInitialized` is treated as "this index
* actually serves queries." A cold native index that loaded its COUNT but not its
* SERVING structure passes those proxies and silently returns `[]`.
*
* This classifier reads ONLY the provider's OPTIONAL, honest `isReady()` signal
* (see {@link import('../plugin.js').VectorIndexProvider.isReady},
* {@link import('../plugin.js').GraphIndexProvider.isReady},
* {@link import('../plugin.js').MetadataIndexProvider.isReady}). It NEVER inspects
* `size()` or `isInitialized`. When `isReady()` is absent, callers must fall back
* to a KNOWN-ITEM PROBE (a real search/lookup that must return a known-present
* datum) before trusting an empty result never a `size()` proxy.
