/**
* @module tests/unit/vector-cold-read-guard
* @description Pattern-A / Finding 1: a pure semantic find({ query }) has no
* filter, so verifyMetadataLive never fires — nothing guarded the vector index.
* A cold native vector index that loaded its COUNT but not its serving structure
* returned a silent []. verifyVectorLive() closes that: the health-report/isReady()
* authority first, else a known-vector self-match probe.
*
* RE-POINTED to the health-gate law: the guard NEVER rebuilds and NEVER walks
* the store from a read — a read-path rebuild is exactly the dark-rebuild
* failure mode the law retires (open() alone owns building). A not-serving
* signal (from either strategy) THROWS VectorIndexNotReadyError immediately,
* with no rebuild attempt in between — never a silent empty result.
