---
+## v10.4.4 — 2026-08-28
+
+**A correctness and observability release.** The headline is not speed: it is that a
+restart now tells you the truth about itself, a store stops lying about how much it
+holds, and the engine stops doing work nobody asked for. There is a performance
+improvement and it is modest; it is stated exactly below rather than rounded up.
+
+### The dark restart — fixed at the root
+
+A service could stop cleanly, exit 0, having awaited `close()` on every store it held,
+and its next boot would announce `Overwriting stale writer lock … appears dead` for
+every one of them. Nothing had crashed. Two deployments hit this; the same defect also
+made those boots pay a crash-recovery fold they did not owe.
+
+The cause was not the lock. `close()` released it correctly — when it got there. A
+failure part-way through close skipped both the release AND the clean-shutdown marker,
+and "the recorded pid is gone" reads identically for an orderly restart and a crash.
+
+- `close()` is now two parts and the second is unconditional: the flush-request watcher,
+ the **writer lock**, the VFS timers and the terminal `closed` flag are released whether
+ the durable steps succeeded or not. The original failure is narrated with what it costs
+ the next open, then rethrown.
+- Releasing the lock writes a **clean-close record** naming the lock generation it gave
+ up. The next open reads that record instead of guessing: recorded → nothing to recover;
+ absent → it says so, and names the recovery it is about to run. This also ends two
+ long-standing false alarms — a recycled pid locking a store out of its own reopen, and
+ `Re-acquiring writer lock … this is a bug` after a perfectly clean close.
+- The signal path stopped failing in a batch. One store's failing flush used to strand
+ every remaining store's lock and markers — at exit code 0. Now: per-store isolation, the
+ generation store's close (the marker) is part of shutdown, the lock goes in a `finally`,
+ and the handler no longer calls `process.exit()` when the host application has its own
+ signal handler, a race that truncated the host's own shutdown mid-flight.
+
+### The count ledger stops lying, and `counts.json` is written atomically
+
+The all-tier scalars are the denominator a coverage check subtracts against. A ledger
+derived under the old rule — one entity per id DIRECTORY — counted ghost and scar
+containers as rows, and was only FLAGGED suspect: it went on serving wrong numbers for
+the life of the store. Two copies of one archive could disagree, and a downstream index
+heal reported remaining work that did not exist.
+
+- Such a ledger now derives itself honestly **in the background** after the open, counting
+ identity records, and persists the correction stamped. Nothing waits for it, because no
+ read is served from a denominator.
+- A derivation that raced a write refuses to stamp its number: one retry on a quiet store,
+ then the ledger stays SUSPECT and names `repairIndex()` as the door that recounts under
+ a barrier.
+- `counts.json` is written temp+rename. A truncating write left a window in which a
+ concurrent reader saw the file EMPTY — and an unparseable ledger sends the next open
+ down the full-rescan path, so the cheapest file in the store was buying the most
+ expensive recovery.
+
+### An open and a repair narrate themselves — on a channel a log level cannot silence
+
+A store could open for three minutes and print nothing at all. The phase timings existed;
+they were written to a channel that every production-looking environment clamps away.
+
+- Narration moved to an always-visible channel. An open now heartbeats the phase it is in,
+ names each phase as it ends with what it was paying for, and names the expensive STEP
+ inside a phase. `repairIndex()` does the same and its receipt carries a per-family
+ `durationMs` — a repair that ran for half an hour with no output could only be watched
+ through `top`.
+- A brain nobody has written to now does nothing: a flush over a clean store is a no-op
+ and says nothing, the graph index's auto-flush asks before it acts, and the
+ cross-process flush-request watch is **event-driven** (`fs.watch`) instead of polling a
+ directory every 500 ms per store forever, with a slow safety sweep behind it and a
+ narrated fall back to polling where a filesystem cannot be watched.
+- A provider that is REBUILDING ITSELF is no longer confused with a broken one. `init()`
+ does not wait for it, every other family serves, and that family's doors refuse **by
+ name, carrying the provider's own progress**, saying plainly that they open by
+ themselves and no action is needed. Health narration dedupes by content, so an unchanged
+ verdict is silent however a provider's generation counter moves.
+
+### For operators — one behaviour change
+
+**Four `where` operators that previously returned an empty page now raise
+`INVALID_QUERY`:** `startsWith`, `endsWith`, `matches` and `length`. An equality/range
+posting index cannot evaluate a substring, a pattern or an array length without reading
+every row, and it now refuses by name instead of answering with an empty result that
+looks like an answer.
+
+**Three that previously returned an empty page are now SERVED:** `hasAll`, `noneOf` and
+`excludes`. All 25 accepted operator tokens now agree between this engine and its
+accelerated counterpart.
+
+### Performance — stated exactly
+
+Measured on a 14,056-noun / 72,679-verb production-shaped store, both builds solo under
+an exclusive lock:
+
+- **Warm reopen after a clean close: 85.7 s → 77.0 s (−10.2%).** The whole of that gain is
+ one fix — generation discovery reads directory NAMES instead of recursively walking the
+ entire generation log (−9.2 s, and it scales with history rather than row count). The
+ VFS phase is **unchanged**.
+- **Cold open: −31.4 s** (518.1 s → 486.7 s), of which the count-ledger derivation moving
+ off the critical path accounts for storage-init dropping 5,941 ms → 25 ms.
+- **A dominant ~38 s remains, diagnosed and NOT fixed.** It is not the VFS — the VFS's own
+ init is under 2 s of that phase. It is the log-authority adoption and/or the
+ pending-embed log recovery, both now instrumented so the next measurement names the
+ culprit outright.
+
+Continuing work, named so nobody has to rediscover it: that ~38 s term; making the
+generation store's committed-range set lazy; the hydration path that substitutes
+`Date.now()` for an unreadable stored timestamp (inventing data); and a VFS path-prefix
+filter built with a `$startsWith` spelling no operator set accepts, so
+`searchFiles({ path })` throws today.

+ * Emit this build's API-contract manifest to docs/api-contract.json.
+ *
+ * WHY IT IS GENERATED, NOT WRITTEN: a hand-kept list of doors drifts from the
+ * code the first time somebody adds one. This reads the surface the build
+ * actually exposes — the prototype's own methods and accessors, the exported
+ * error classes, the `where` operator sets, the field-addressing vocabulary,
+ * the health verdicts — so a diff between two engines' manifests is a diff
+ * between two engines, never between two authors.
+ *
+ * Requirement marking (required / optional per door) is NOT derivable from the
+ * surface — it is a commitment, recorded with the contract's owner rather than
+ * here. This manifest carries the surface; the promise lives with the contract.
+ *
+ * Usage: node scripts/emit-contract-manifest.mjs [--check]
+ * --check exits non-zero when the committed manifest is stale.

+ * eight minutes before an operator wiped the directory. A recovery that
+ * cannot say what it is waiting for has no business spinning; the honest
+ * answer here is a verdict, taken now, at O(1) cost.

+ * that never became durable, and comparing them against live counters can

+ * surface at the generation the store can actually show:
+ *
+ * - WRITER open → re-stamp at `committedGeneration()` from the live
+ * counters — exactly what the next flush would write, taken now so the
+ * tear cannot re-narrate on every subsequent open. Both count sets are
+ * logged so an operator can see whether anything really moved.
+ * - READER open → a reader cannot re-stamp. Narrate the same terminal
+ * verdict with the named cure and carry on serving; a read-only inspector
+ * is never locked out of a store, and never left waiting either.

+ *
+ * A production restart made this lane necessary: a service stopped with exit
+ * code 0, having awaited `close()` on every pooled brain, and its next boot
+ * announced `[brainy] Overwriting stale writer lock … appears dead` for every
+ * store it owned. "The pid is gone" is equally true of an orderly restart and
+ * of a crash, so the message could not tell an operator which one they had.
+ *
+ * The contract pinned here:
+ * 1. A completed close leaves NO lock file and DOES leave a clean-close
+ * record; the next open says nothing about staleness.
+ * 2. The next lock claim CONSUMES that record — it may never outlive the
+ * lock generation it describes, or a later crash would read as clean.
+ * 3. A close whose durable steps FAIL still releases the lock (and still
+ * rethrows the failure).
+ * 4. A killed process (SIGKILL, no close at all) leaves the lock behind with
+ * NO record, and the next open says exactly that — crash, recovery ahead.
+ * 5. A host application with its own SIGTERM handler is never force-exited
+ * out from under its own shutdown by Brainy's handler.
