+// Finding cases: the knowledge outside the code, into the memory engine.
+//
+// WHAT. For every finding the reviewer POSTED that drew a human response or
+// reached a fate (any fate but `unknown`, which no evidence has settled yet),
+// the daemon keeps ONE case document in reviewer memory's
+// `finding-cases/` area (src/memory/layout.ts): a header the
+// learner can filter on — PR, rounds, lens ids, kind, severity, path and line
+// range, fate, dates, thread URL — and a body with the finding's claim and the
+// human replies in its thread, quoted as DATA and attributed by ROLE (the
+// PR's author / another reviewer), never by name. It is the context the
+// learner and the EOD curator read lessons out of; the companion searches
+// it too. No review round searches it: the round's context block searches
+// `experiences/` only (`ROUND_SEARCH_AREAS`), and a PR session's recall
+// (vendored patch 0008) and its memory tools (patch 0009) stay inside the
+// same areas. Only the daemon's lesson selection finds cases, and only under
+// `[memory] delivery = "on"` are the selected ones quoted, as data, into the
+// main session's prompt.
+//
+// FROM WHAT. Only what the daemon already holds, read-only: `round_findings`
+// (the claim), the outcome capture's tables (src/outcomes.ts — the link
+// to the posted comment, the fate, the whole-review signals), `pr_comments`
+// (the human replies, by `in_reply_to_id`/`thread_id`) and `feedback_signals`
+// (a human deleting the bot's comment). A case is a pure render of those
+// rows: no clock, no counter, nothing that moves unless a fact moved — so
+// rendering it twice gives the same bytes, and "has the case changed?" is a
+// byte comparison.
+//
+// ONE CASE PER FINDING, NOT PER POSTING. The outcome capture CARRIES a finding
+// posted again in a later round (`carried_to`): one finding, one fate. The
+// case does the same — it lives at the chain's FIRST posting (whose name never
+// changes as the chain grows), lists every round that posted it, and quotes
+// the replies from every thread of the chain. A posting that becomes part of
+// an earlier one's chain gives up its own case (withdrawn, below).
+//
+// HOW IT IS WRITTEN. Through the one memory seam (`MemoryStore.putDocuments`,
+// src/memory/store.ts → src/openviking/store.ts): ONE batch-write per tick
+// under `finding-cases/`, every case under its own precondition — created when this
+// writer never wrote it, replaced only under the hash of the bytes this writer
+// last wrote there. The name is deterministic (`caseName`: PR, round and a
+// hash of the finding's key), so a replay finds its own document. A case is
+// rewritten when its fate changes, or anything else it quotes does (a new
+// reply, a later posting). The ledger (`finding_cases`) records, per case,
+// what is owed, what memory holds (its hash — the precondition of the next
+// replace) and why a write failed.
+//
+// WHAT IS NEVER DONE. Nothing is deleted (the store has no route to it): a
+// case that no longer stands — its finding is no longer posted, or it joined
+// an earlier posting's chain — is WITHDRAWN, replaced by a short `#retired`
+// stub saying why. A case this writer may have written without hearing so
+// (a lost answer, its own deadline) is withdrawn too, under a probe the store
+// always refuses, so the read-back says what the address holds; one it never
+// sent is simply forgotten. What counts as this writer's: a document
+// carrying the case's own header (`#case kind=case case=<its id>`) — a case
+// is derived data, a render of state.db, and nobody else writes in `finding-cases/`
+// (the curator and the companion are told never to), so such a document is
+// adopted and replaced whatever its body says. A document without that header
+// (somebody else's entry) and a case somebody RETIRED (`#retired` without
+// `status=withdrawn`) are never overwritten: the case is `blocked` and says
+// so.
+//
+// WHEN. A timer (`cases_interval_s`) runs four steps:
+//   1. SYNC — every PR the outcome capture re-captured since the last sync is
+//      rendered again and its owed cases recorded. state.db only; runs even
+//      while memory is down, so the ledger always says what is owed.
+//   2. LATE ACTIVITY — a PR the capture pass no longer visits (closed more
+//      than a day ago, `inCaptureWindow`) that gained a human comment or a
+//      feedback signal since its last sync is captured again and synced, so a
+//      reply recorded after the close still reaches its case.
+//   3. BACKFILL — PRs with a finding posted in the last `cases_backfill_days`
+//      that the case writer never covered, newest first, a couple a tick and
+//      only while the owed queue is short: ONE read of the PR's inline
+//      comments through the GitHub adapter (read-only, no gate — skipped when
+//      the reconcile sweep already read them), the outcome capture, then the
+//      sync. Each PR is marked done in `case_backfill`, so a restart resumes
+//      where it stopped. A failed read is a failed attempt: the PR stays owed,
+//      the backfill pauses (`backfillRetryMs`), and only after
+//      `backfillMaxAttempts` failures is the PR captured from state.db alone
+//      and marked done as `unread` — re-queued at the next start and daily,
+//      like a given-up case.
+//   4. WRITE — up to `batch` owed cases (2), oldest owed first, one
+//      batch-write — and never started while a review round is reading memory
+//      (`rounds`): every case is embedded on the server's one
+//      local-embedder thread (~3.4 s each on the live VM), the thread a
+//      round's seed and lesson finds wait on, so the write waits for the
+//      rounds (at most `yieldWaitMs`) and gives the tick up past that — or
+//      when memory health no longer reads healthy after the wait. A batch it
+//      sends is reported to the same tracker (`embeddingSent`) with its
+//      embedding tail — `embedTailMsPerCase` a case, counted from the write's
+//      return, since the server embeds a written batch after it answers — so
+//      a round seed that starts inside it waits for it, within its own
+//      budget.
+// Steps 2–4 run only while memory health reads `healthy`: a write into
+// memory that is down is just another failure, and a backfill feeding a
+// queue nobody can drain is just load. A case is derived data — state.db
+// keeps everything it says — so a case memory refuses is retried (and given
+// up on after `maxAttempts`, then re-queued at the next start and daily),
+// never a wake.
+//
+// HISTORY WAITS FOR QUIET. While any review round is running or
+// queued to dispatch (`reviews`), steps 2 and 3 do not run and step 4 writes
+// LIVE cases only: each owed case remembers which step made it owed
+// (`origin`), and live is `sync` — step 1, the outcome capture having
+// re-captured its PR because something moved. Everything else — what the
+// backfill or the late activity owes, and a case owed before the column
+// existed (origin unknown) — waits until no round is in flight. "Live" is
+// the step, not the PR's state: a backfill case of a PR still open is
+// history too. A memory-activity window that opens at a round's seed cannot
+// stop a batch sent a few seconds before it; this hold can. Nothing is lost: the cases
+// stay owed, and the steps resume the first tick no round is in flight. An
+// answer `reviews` cannot give is UNKNOWN and holds the history the same way
+// — never read as "none in flight".
