David Snelling ceed70d7be perf(8.0): per-id history chains for O(log) historical reads + bounded delta cache
Historical reads (asOf/get) scanned the global committedGens list linearly,
making them O(database-age): a read of an unchanged entity at an old pin scaled
~12x for 10x history depth. Add per-id inverted history chains (nounChains/
verbChains) so resolveAt binary-searches the id's own generation chain instead —
O(log) and flat with depth. Chains build lazily under the commit mutex,
maintain incrementally on commit, and invalidate on compaction.

Also bound deltaCache (LRU cap 4096; getDelta re-reads evicted deltas) so a
long-lived high-write process's heap is O(cap) not O(generations) on the
disk-backed path, and binary-search commitTimestampAtOrBefore (O(log)).

Verified: 373 unit tests green; new tests/unit/db/generation-chain.test.ts
covers chain resolution, eviction re-read, and chain rebuild after compaction.

/**
* @module tests/unit/db/generation-chain
* @description Locks in the Model-B scalability fixes in `generationStore.ts`:
* the per-id history chains that make `resolveAt` O(log) instead of an
* O(database-age) scan of the global `committedGens`, the bounded `deltaCache`
* (evicted deltas are transparently re-read from storage), and chain
* maintenance across commit + compaction. These assert the OBSERVABLE behavior
* — `asOf()` correctness — across the code paths those fixes touch, including the
* edge cases the existing temporal suites don't reach (eviction past the cap,
* and chain rebuild after compaction).
