+/**
+ * wave-writer.ts — a producer's writes into the session, as W7 waves.
+ *
+ * The one W7 producer: git's network facet (a clone's files, fetch and
+ * pull's objects and refs), npm's install facet (package files), and the
+ * session's own bulk writes (npm bin shims, the clang sysroot). Each write
+ * is a record: a file, a link, a directory, or a removal. The writer buffers
+ * records into a wave and publishes the wave through one writeBatchStream()
+ * call. A wave closes before it would pass W7's owned-path bounds (count and
+ * bytes: files, removals and the directories above them, up to the root) or
+ * its byte budget; a file larger than the budget travels in a wave of its
+ * own, and one streamed from a source is never held whole.
+ *
+ * Pipelining: one wave is in flight while the next one buffers. A wave
+ * starts only once its predecessor has published, so a producer waits only
+ * when it fills a second wave, and a failed wave is the last this writer
+ * sends: the failure names its wave, and every later call rejects with it.
+ * Waves publish in order, so a record written after another is durable only
+ * if that one is: a completion marker written last proves what came before.
+ *
+ * Lost transport (lost-call.ts, the one policy for it): a wave whose call
+ * failed before the session answered (isLostFencedCall), or that nothing
+ * read for LOST_STREAM_STALL_MS before its end, or that stayed unanswered
+ * LOST_STREAM_ANSWER_MS after it, is sent again after a backoff, at most
+ * LOST_CALL_RESEND_BACKOFF_MS.length times. The abandoned attempt's stream
+ * is errored so it reads nothing more, and every attempt carries its fence
+ * (writer, wave, attempt): the session refuses an attempt older than one it
+ * has seen, so a late original never applies over its re-send.
+ * Re-sending is safe: a wave is the same paths and bytes, replacing. A shed
+ * wave never ran; the platform's advice is not to retry an overloaded
+ * object, but these waves are few and backed off, and npm measured the
+ * re-send recover a 119-package install that otherwise lost 31 packages to
+ * one shed. A wave the session answered (ok: false) is its verdict and is
+ * never retried, nor is a wave with a streamed source (its source is spent).
+ *
+ * Fault domains: with `failPerOwner`, a record's `meta` is its owner (an
+ * npm package), and a failed wave whose records all have owners fails those
+ * owners (their later records reject, their buffered ones are not sent)
+ * while the writer goes on for the rest. Otherwise, and for a failed wave
+ * carrying anything unowned (a directory or removal record, the pin, a
+ * record without meta), the failed wave is the last one sent. A write that
+ * supersedes a buffered record (the same path, written again before a cut)
+ * settles it: the wave carrying the later write publishes or fails the
+ * owners of both. An owner is published once every wave that carried its
+ * writes has (`published`).
+ *
+ * Admitting a record costs its own new directories, never a recount of the
+ * wave: the owned set grows as records arrive, and a directory chain walk
+ * stops at the first directory already owned (whose chain is owned).
+ * Records may be written concurrently (an install writes several packages
+ * at once): each is admitted and buffered in call order.
+ *
+ * Several writers may publish into one session at once (a clone's parallel
+ * producers); each is its own stream, and the session takes them
+ * concurrently.
