Joseph Doherty 0b537b5dec docs: record surgical-deploy semantics + artifact compression ops notes (plan 2026-08-15)
CLAUDE.md — a new "How a deploy reaches that address space" block under the v3
Batch 4 address-space section. The blanket ChangedRawTags/ChangedUnsReferenceVariables
=> Rebuild rule is gone, so the doc now names both halves explicitly: what still
rebuilds (alarm-bearing raw-tag deltas, raw-tag identity changes, raw container
renames/removals, changed equipment/alarms) and what is now surgical (non-alarm
attribute deltas, every UnsReferenceDelta). Also records the three semantics that
are easy to break by accident: mirror repair rides UnsReferenceVariable's inherited
backing fields (omitting a newly-inherited field silently reopens the staleness),
a degraded non-rebuild apply deliberately does not advance _lastApplied, and the
raw-realm announce gap is no longer neutral now that surgical adds keep
subscriptions alive.

CLAUDE.md ConfigSource — the RevisionHash == SHA-256(artifact bytes) paragraph is
still true and stays; it gains the clause that the blob is gzip-compressed since
2026-08-15 and the hash covers the COMPRESSED bytes, which is precisely why the
fetcher, cache and serve path were untouched.

docs/Uns.md + docs/Raw.md — one section each on what a deploy now tears down, from
the authoring surface's point of view, including the mirror repair semantics
(identity-preserving backing edits update in place and keep their MonitoredItems;
re-points and effective-name edits remove+recreate that one node).

docs/Configuration.md — "Artifact compression (2026-08-15)" under ConfigSource/
ConfigServe: gzip inside the hashed bytes, magic-sniffed on read, pre-upgrade
uncompressed rows still parse, plus the two operational facts an operator needs.
The first deploy after upgrade re-hashes every revision (same config, new bytes,
new RevisionHash) so it is a one-time full re-dispatch rather than a no-op; and
rollout is ordered — nodes must run artifact-sniffing code BEFORE central starts
emitting compressed blobs, since a pre-upgrade node handed a gzip artifact fails
the apply and keeps last-known-good until it is upgraded.

Plan doc — a "Follow-ups (recorded, not implemented)" section covering the seven
items surfaced during implementation and review: the raw-realm announce gap, the
RemoveEquipmentSubtree dangling-inverse-edge exposure, the missing end-to-end test
for a degraded remove-bearing apply's ratcheted rebuild, the scripted-alarm
thin-plan-ids-against-rich-rows blindness, the absent monotonic dispatch sequence,
LocalDb store ordering under concurrent StoreAsync, and threading the in-hand blob
through RestoreApplied.

tasks.json — all nine tasks completed.
