The owner's audit decisions (decisions.md, "Simplification audit"): cut the reload-only
installing state (staging is synchronous) and the static registry cycle edges (the
runtime guard stays); retry propagation by a visited set and a hop budget (retry.hops)
instead of operation ids and through lists; a pure swap sends holds a fresh bound; one
rule after a live failure (every member followed until the admitted commits published);
parked_long for any long park, naming the first blocker in declaration order with its
state; one seal token per attempt. Keys follow the old instance during a restart's drain
like members. src/next: about 255 code lines fewer.
A failed activation releases its references after its natives closed; a dependency going live while
the dependent activates retries it at once; a call on a local object runs with the host's principal
and incarnation; retiring an unloaded document checks its stored version and fingerprint, and a cut
retirement no longer fails its successor; ref.retry() re-runs a refused hold's start on the same id
(the provider keeps refused holds), and ends released/closed on a closed host; a relayed hold waits
while the parent link is down; a link drop while a dependency is still loading is no failure.
StoreStorage (Durable's storage on Chord v2's store, @earendil-works/pi-durable/storage/store) passes
Durable's storage conformance suite and runs Durable's harness tests (npm run test:store). The store
gets owner names and claims, one id allocator, Durable's Storage semantics for refused steps, history
none/latest/rewindable with reads at a point, archive revisions and applyBatch. self.follow follows
Durable's synchronous observers as Chord sources. Persisted jobs: records and state in the owner's
store, restarts as Durable's tasks, abort stored, deferred state. Chord's ./next export returns for
the adapter surface.
The next object runtime moves from the private repository into pi: src/next (contracts, hosts and
objects, documents, derives, links and relays, routines and jobs, the store) with its tests and
examples in test/next, src/next-node (Node compression), and its design in docs/next (design.md, the
decision log decisions.md, the slice plan slices.md, slice specs, books and benchmarks). AGENTS.md
gets its code style. Not exported: the API changes with every slice until it has an entry point.
