- *   - A SERVER-OWNED shared version sequence: per-URI, monotonic across
- *     close/reopen cycles, advancing exactly when the synced content changes.
- *     Client-declared version ids (Monaco's buffer numbering) feed only a
- *     per-client staleness guard and never leak into the shared sequence —
- *     the two are different things (an editor's edit-operation counter vs the
- *     document's content-revision number), and splicing them lets versions drift
- *     silently past `baseVersion` gate holders.
- *   - Version-author history so each edit is attributable to its originating client.
- *   - Pending-content staging used by the integrity service to thread corrections
- *     through `workspace/applyEdit` cycles for currently-closed documents.
- *   - `didOpen` notifications arriving over the LSP connection wait on the
- *     workspace-ready promise, so a client's first open cannot race workspace
- *     discovery. Direct {@link notifyDidOpenTextDocument} calls (the non-LSP

-    * `undefined` when nothing of ours is in flight, which is the ordinary path:
-    * the client's ranges then address the synced text and the caller applies
-    * them to it directly.
-    *
-    * **Why the oldest, and why reconstruct at all.** The client applies our
-    * pushes in order and echoes each against the buffer it held before that
-    * push, so the first echo to arrive belongs to the oldest entry — a FIFO
-    * correspondence the queue preserves by consuming from the front. Comparing
-    * the reconstruction against every pending hash, not only the oldest, is
-    * what recognises an echo that a newer write already superseded: a rapid
-    * write sequence can deliver the echo of push N after the store applied
-    * push N+1, and everything older is then accounted for too.
-    *
-    * A reconstruction matching NO pending push means the client's buffer went
-    * somewhere we did not send it — it coalesced a keystroke into the echo, or
-    * typed before the push landed. That text is authoritative, and the queue
-    * drops: the client has stopped being a pure mirror, so no outstanding echo
-    * can match again. (A push still in flight at that point will be refused by
-    * the client's own version gate, which invalidates the shadow and makes the
-    * next sync a position-independent full replace.)
-    *
-    * Content equality is a sound echo proof because entries live only between a
-    * push and its echo — a milliseconds window, never history — and the
-    * client's `didChange` stream is ordered, so every buffer state arrives in
-    * mutation order. An UNDO returning the buffer to previously-pushed text is
-    * therefore never swallowed: the edit that preceded it already emptied the
-    * queue, so undo revisits PAST states while the queue holds IN-FLIGHT ones.
