David Snelling 780fb6444b feat(8.0)!: flip requireSubtype default to true (BRAINY-8.0-SUBTYPE-CONTRACT § C-1)
Brainy 8.0 makes subtype required by default on every public write path
(`add`, `addMany`, `update`, `relate`, `relateMany`, `updateRelation`,
import). Per the locked C-1 contract, every entity and relation gets a
non-empty subtype string by the time the storage layer sees it.

OPT-OUT REMAINS FULLY SUPPORTED

The runtime flag is still consumer-controlled. Three opt-out paths
cover migration / legacy fixtures / typed escape:

- `new Brainy({ requireSubtype: false })` — last-resort: turn off the
  contract entirely. Recommended only for migration windows or test
  fixtures that legitimately can't supply a subtype.
- `new Brainy({ requireSubtype: { except: [NounType.Thing, ...] } })` —
  per-type allowlist: strict everywhere except the listed types.
- `brain.requireSubtype(type, options)` — per-type registration with
  optional vocabulary. Composes with the brain-wide flag.

Default is now `true`. Opt-out is explicit and documented; nothing
silently degrades.

TEST SWEEP

Bulk-applied `requireSubtype: false` to every `new Brainy({...})` call
site across 120 test files. Three sed patterns covered the shapes:
  - `new Brainy({` → `new Brainy({ requireSubtype: false,`
  - `new Brainy<T>({` → `new Brainy<T>({ requireSubtype: false,`
  - `new Brainy()` → `new Brainy({ requireSubtype: false })`

tests/helpers/test-factory.ts → createTestConfig() defaults
`requireSubtype: false` so test files using the helper inherit the
opt-out without per-site edits.

The test sites that DO exercise subtype semantics (the
subtype-and-facets suite, the strict-mode-self-test suite, the verb-
subtype-and-enforcement suite, etc.) already pass real subtypes — they
were the 7.30.x acceptance tests for this contract. Those tests
continue to pass unchanged.

CHANGES

src/brainy.ts
- normalizeConfig() — `requireSubtype` default `false` → `true`.
  Comment refreshed to document the three opt-out paths.

tests/* (120 files)
- Bulk-edited brain construction sites. No functional test changes; the
  opt-out preserves the test author's original intent.

tests/helpers/test-factory.ts
- createTestConfig() base config gains `requireSubtype: false`.

NO-OP for consumers who were already passing subtype on every write.

For consumers who weren't, the upgrade path is one of the three opt-out
forms above. Migration recipe documented in 8.0 release notes (next
commit).

VERIFICATION

- npx tsc --noEmit: clean
- npm test: 1408 / 1409 (same pre-existing race-condition outstanding;
  no other regressions from the flip)

/**
* Regression test for v5.3.3 NULL parent bug
*
* BUG: CommitObject.walk() didn't guard against NULL parent hash, causing
* "Blob metadata not found: 0000...0000" error when calling getHistory()
* on a fresh database with only the initial commit.
*
* ROOT CAUSE: Initial commit has parent = null or NULL_HASH ('0000...0000'),
* but while(currentHash) treated the string as truthy and tried to read it.
*
* FIXED IN: v5.3.4
* - Added isNullHash() guard in CommitObject.walk()
* - Added defensive check in BlobStorage.read()
* - Created NULL_HASH constant to prevent hardcoding
