+/// Arch-review 2026-08-19 P2-4 (rollback half) — a batch subscribe whose
+/// ApplyChanges throws must leave NO residue behind.
+///
+///
+/// The gap this pins. CreateSubscriptionsCoreAsync registers each monitored item as
+/// it places it (_callbacks, _itemShard, the shard's item count and the SDK
+/// subscription's own item list) and only issues ApplyChanges once the whole chunk is
+/// placed. A throw there — a dead session being the common cause — propagated with every one of
+/// those registrations still in place and nothing left holding a handle to release them. The actor
+/// sees the throw as a whole-chunk fault and re-issues the SAME batch on its backoff timer, so
+/// each probe grew the bookkeeping again: unbounded shard growth and phantom shard occupancy.
+///
+///
+///
+/// The seam is reached with a data shard whose SDK was never created,
+/// which is precisely how the SDK reports "you have no usable subscription": placement and
+/// AddItem succeed, ApplyChangesAsync throws. Private state is read by reflection
+/// rather than widened for the test.
+///
