+/**
+ * THE DERIVED SHARDING LAW (sharding §3/§5/§6 — slice 2 placement, slice 3a homing
+ * invariants, slice 3 delta lane + least-loaded placement).
+ *
+ * `nomos-compile` APPENDS this module to a TAXONOMY-BEARING domain's module list —
+ * both in the canonical manifests (the placement law is hash-bearing law) and in the
+ * generated engine entry (the plans ship in the lump). A taxonomy-FREE package never
+ * imports it (subpath `@githolon/dsl/workspace-sharding`, never the runtime barrel —
+ * the slice-1 hash-stability law: its bytes must not enter other tenants' lumps).
+ *
+ * What it derives, per PACKED axis (`EstateWs.hasMany(SiteHome)` with
+ * `SiteHome.packed()`):
+ *
+ *   * `NomosShardAssignment` — THE SHARD MAP AS LAW on the coordinator. SLICE 3:
+ *     one DETERMINISTIC row per home (`nomos-shard-assignment:<homeKey>`, an Ensure)
+ *     — placement uniqueness BY CONSTRUCTION, idempotent re-offer by Lww. The shard
+ *     is picked LEAST-LOADED by the dispatching client/worker over committed
+ *     subtotal rows (law-state load, §3) and carried IN the payload; the
+ *     `nomosPlacementUnique:*` invariant refuses a CONFLICTING re-offer typed
+ *     (`placement-exists:<heldShard>`) — same home, same shard, forever, until the
+ *     slice-5 move lane flips it through `splitShard`/`sealHandoff`.
+ *   * `NomosHomeReceipt` — §3's "its assignment" fact IN THE SHARD'S OWN CHAIN (the
+ *     assignment RECEIPT leg): `nomosReceiveAssignment` ensures one receipt row per
+ *     home the shard owns, judged by `nomosReceiptHome:*` against the shard's own
+ *     declared identity. The homing invariant (`nomosWrongHome:<directive>`) now
+ *     judges routed writes against THESE receipts — shard-local law-state, no static
+ *     placement formula (the slice-2 fnv pick is retired with least-loaded placement).
+ *   * THE §5.2 DELTA LANE — `nomosPropagateSummary`: shard admission's coalesced
+ *     Order carrying per-(read, group) ABSOLUTE subtotals + the covered range's
+ *     event deltas as content-addressed evidence. The coordinator's ONE gate
+ *     adjudicates it (ruling 4 — full gate recomputation day one):
+ *       1. the PLAN recomputes every claimed absolute from the claimed previous +
+ *          the carried event deltas and REFUSES on mismatch (pure arithmetic over
+ *          the payload — replays byte-identically on every peer);
+ *       2. the `nomosSummaryGate:*` workspace invariant verifies the CLAIMS against
+ *          HELD law-state via `pre:` snapshots (the committed pre-apply reads the
+ *          executor resolves for `pre:`-prefixed refs): `fromOid` must equal the
+ *          recorded per-shard frontier (typed `frontier-gap:<expected>`), and every
+ *          claimed `prev` must equal the held subtotal value (typed
+ *          `summary-mismatch:…`). Held + carried-events ⇒ claimed, byte-compared.
+ *       3. the FOLD is plain Lww over `NomosSummarySubtotal` rows — idempotent,
+ *          replay-safe, kernel-lowered today. The estate total is an ORDINARY
+ *          maintained sum over subtotal rows (`nomosEstateSummary` by `bucket`) —
+ *          O(1) by #31. Subtotal rows ARE checkpoints (ruling 1): each carries the
+ *          shard frontier it is true at; deep-verify (replay-on-suspicion) mounts
+ *          the shard chain, re-verifies from genesis, recounts, byte-compares.
+ *   * `NomosShardRegistry` + `NomosShardPolicy` — the OPEN-SHARD set and the split
+ *     policy as law-state: the worker auto-births `s(k+1)` through the platform lane
+ *     when EVERY open shard's row count crosses the split threshold (ruling 5 — 75%
+ *     of the CAPACITY.md wall by default, law-amendable via `nomosSetShardPolicy`).
+ *   * ROUTE-TAGGED IN-PLAN MINTS — {@link installRouteTaggedMint}: the generated
+ *     entry of a taxonomy-bearing package wraps the sealed sandbox's
+ *     `globalThis.nomos.mint` (at lump top-level eval, pre-freeze) so `create(Agg)`
+ *     mints of PACKED-HOMED aggregates fold the dispatched intent's home ROUTE TAG
+ *     (48 bits of sha256, §4) into the UUIDv7 timestamp slot — same draw budget
+ *     (19 captured rng draws), no clock read, deterministic, byte-identical on
+ *     replay. No wasm change: the tag rides the slot the id-mint law itself demotes
+ *     to metadata.
+ *
+ * ENGINE-BUNDLE-SAFE: no node builtin anywhere in this module's import graph.
