Core.VirtualTags-002: cold-start guard publishes BadWaitingForInitialData
instead of silently returning a stale value.
Core.VirtualTags-003: Load detects duplicate Path values and keys the
upstream-subscription loop off the registered tag set.
Core.VirtualTags-005: VirtualTagSource fires the initial-data callback per
path before registering the change observer, fixing an ordering race.
Core.VirtualTags-008: DependencyGraph caches topological rank, lowering
per-change-event cost from O(V+E) to O(closure).
Core.VirtualTags-012: added 9 engine tests; CoerceResult null-return now
maps to BadInternalError as the code comment intended.
