+ * reports the (live, clone-resurrected) row as an addition — silently re-creating a
+ * deleted node on commit. We therefore export with `includeDeleted: false`: the
+ * clone carries only the base's LIVE state, exactly what `branch()` needs. The
+ * merge state-diff is still computed against the ORIGINAL base store (live rows
+ * only) as the immutable reference, never against the clone (clones regenerate
+ * `created_at`/`updated_at`, which would otherwise destabilize `base@V`).

+ * EXACT same scorer + threshold regardless of which source proposed a pair. A
+ * source proposes (recall); scoring disposes (the match decision).
+ *
+ * Two proposal kinds enter:
+ *
+ *   - {@link CandidatePair}s — unscored `(a, b)` node pairs from any source. They
+ *     are deduped by canonical `(a, b)` and each scored EXACTLY ONCE by
+ *     {@link scorePair}; only pairs clearing the kind's threshold become edges.
+ *   - FORCED {@link CandidateEdge}s — DEFINITIONAL matches (a shared unique value)
+ *     that BYPASS scoring entirely, emitted at {@link FORCED_MATCH_SCORE}. A forced
+ *     pair is never also fuzzy-scored: forced `(a, b)` keys are reserved first, so
+ *     a fuzzy pair proposing the same endpoints is dropped before scoring.
+ *
+ * This was previously fused into `candidate-gen.ts`'s `generateCandidates` (which
+ * scored AND thresholded inline); naming scoring as its own stage is what makes
+ * "the scorer — not a source — decides matches" concrete (§4). `generateCandidates`
+ * now composes the bucket sources over this stage.
+ *
+ * Determinism: the emitted edge set is a pure function of the proposal SETS — pairs
+ * are deduped by canonical `(a, b)`, scored by the symmetric {@link scorePair}, and
+ * the final list is sorted by `(a, b)`, so neither the order proposals arrive in
+ * nor the directionality of a pair affects the result.
+ *
+ * The {@link ComparisonCeilingPolicy} bounds only the FUZZY scoring work (the
+ * embedder step for vector/hybrid); FORCED edges are definitional, not
+ * similarity-based, so they are emitted regardless of the ceiling:
+ *
+ *   - `"error"`         — exceeding the ceiling fails with a typed {@link MergeError}.

+ *   4. CLUSTER — `connectedComponents` (T8) over the accumulated candidate edges
+ *      and every staged new-node id, with the optional diameter guard.
+ *   5. CANONICALIZE — `canonicalizeCluster` (T8): min-id survivor + commutative
+ *      property union under the stable, non-wall-clock conflict policy.

+ *   7. TYPE-RECONCILE — `reconcileTypes` (T10) over the public-closure glue when
+ *      `reconcileTypes: "ontology"`; otherwise a no-op.
+ *   8. EDGE REPOINT — `repointEdges` (T9): repoint every staged edge onto its
+ *      cluster canonical, drop edges to finally-deleted endpoints, dedupe + union
+ *      edge props under the same conflict policy.
+ *   9. COMMIT — apply everything to `target` (default = base store) in a single

+ * Candidate SOURCES (design §4 / §6.1) — the RECALL layer of candidate generation.
+ *
+ * Candidate generation is three layers — sources → scoring → reconciler (§4). This
+ * module is the FIRST layer: each source PROPOSES candidates and decides nothing
+ * about a fuzzy match. A source emits three things:
+ *
+ *   - `pairs`       — unscored `(a, b)` node pairs handed to the shared scoring
+ *                     stage (`scoring.ts`), which makes every fuzzy match decision.
+ *   - `forcedEdges` — DEFINITIONAL matches (a shared unique value) that bypass
+ *                     scoring at {@link FORCED_MATCH_SCORE}.
+ *   - `baseMembers` — committed base nodes the source pulled into scope, so the
+ *                     reconciler can seed + canonicalize a base endpoint without
+ *                     re-querying the backend. EMPTY for staged-only sources.
+ *
+ * Two sources ship here — today's two blocking strategies (`blocking.ts`),
+ * refactored behind the source interface:
+ *
+ *   - {@link exactKeySource} (`exactKey`, §6.1) — the `block(node) => string`
+ *     bucket: same-bucket node pairs become fuzzy `pairs`. Staged-vs-staged.
+ *   - {@link uniqueSource} (`unique`, §6.1) — the unique-constraint signature
+ *     buckets: every same-signature pair is a FORCED edge (a shared unique value
+ *     is definitionally the same entity). Staged-vs-staged.
+ *
+ * Both read the SAME pre-computed `blockNodes` map off the scope (the UNION of the
+ * `block()` key and the per-constraint signatures, `blocking.ts`), filtering it by
+ * {@link isUniqueBucketKey}: `exactKey` owns the non-unique buckets, `unique` owns
+ * the unique buckets. Sharing one blocked map (vs. re-blocking per source) keeps the
+ * source split byte-identical to the old fused `generateCandidates` — a node with a
+ * unique signature but no `block()` key lands ONLY in its unique bucket, never the
+ * all-vs-all `unblocked` bucket.
+ *
+ * Determinism: the extraction visits buckets in sorted-key order over id-sorted
+ * members and enumerates `i < j`, so proposals are emitted in a canonical order;
+ * the scoring stage additionally dedups + sorts, so neither source's emission order
+ * leaks into the merge result.
