Two independent restart/multi-instance correctness bugs.
VFS path cache (A.3): PathResolver keyed the PROCESS-GLOBAL path cache on
`vfs:path:<path>` with no instance scope. Multiple Brainys per process (a
supported pattern) over DIFFERENT storage collided — instance A's `/x → id_A`
satisfied instance B's `stat('/x')` against unrelated storage → stale id →
"Entity not found" (surfaced by metadata-only-comprehensive's VFS stat() once
another VFS test had seeded the cache). Scope every `vfs:path:` key by a
monotonic per-process instance token (the VFS root id is a fixed sentinel, so it
can't disambiguate; the global cache is itself process-scoped so the token
suffices). Scoped the invalidate/prefix-delete paths too, so a branch-switch /
clear / fork on one brain no longer wipes another brain's cache. Cross-instance
sharing was only an optimization and was the collision itself; each instance
keeps its own local pathCache.
Verb totalCount (verb mirror of b2005ff): getVerbsWithPagination returned
`collectedVerbs.length` (the peeked page size, bounded by offset+limit+1) as
totalCount, so getVerbs({limit:1}).totalCount read 1/2 for any non-empty brain
on the unfiltered path. Now returns the authoritative O(1) totalVerbCount
(isNew-gated, visibility-filtered, rehydrated on init); filtered scans keep the
collected length. Regression: tests/unit/storage/getVerbs-totalCount.test.ts
(warm + cold reopen, mirrors the noun test).
metadata-only-comprehensive + vfs-api-wiring integration green; 1471 unit green.
