Plain storage works without it, so an existing backend keeps working across a platform upgrade. <code>defineStorage</code> rejects a partial group — implement all four methods or none. Version tokens are opaque strings that must change on every write (a counter column, a row version, a content hash). The built-in backends both include it: <code>fileKv</code> uses content-hash tokens (single-process correctness) and <code>cursorHostedStorage</code> the control-plane proxy (a <code>version</code> counter on the server). <code>memoryCasTable()</code> is for test fixtures and inert sinks only.</p></div></div></main><footer class="VPDocFooter" data-v-2e506a34 data-v-574f06fa><!--[--><!--]--><!----><nav class="prev-next" aria-labelledby="doc-footer-aria-label" data-v-574f06fa><span class="visually-hidden" id="doc-footer-aria-label" data-v-574f06fa>Pager</span><div class="pager" data-v-574f06fa><a class="VPLink link pager-link prev" href="/docs/ab.html" data-v-574f06fa><!--[--><span class="desc" data-v-574f06fa>Previous page</span><span class="title" data-v-574f06fa>Live A/B metrics</span><!--]--></a></div><div class="pager" data-v-574f06fa><a class="VPLink link pager-link next" href="/docs/hillclimbing.html" data-v-574f06fa><!--[--><span class="desc" data-v-574f06fa>Next page</span><span class="title" data-v-574f06fa>Hillclimbing</span><!--]--></a></div></nav></footer><!--[--><!--]--></div></div></div><!--[--><!--]--></div></div><!----><!--[--><!--]--></div></div>
