+ * @module tests/unit/db/fieldAddressing
+ * @description Unit pins for the one field-addressing law (ruled 2026-08-03).
+ * These pin the PURE half of the law — parsing, the ruled maps, plumbing
+ * invisibility, refusal text — including the RELATION map, which cannot be
+ * pinned through the public query API today (related() carries no
+ * field-addressing options): the verb mirror is contract-tested here at the
+ * module level so the two engines cannot drift on it.
