+   *     would expose a namespace those paths reject (note `isStorageDirForNamespace`
+   *     can still build a tokenized root even for `../evil`, so storageDir sanitation
+   *     alone does not catch it). The default namespace is exempt (it may be a
+   *     non-route literal), matching every other validation site.
+   *
+   *  2. UNSAFE storageDir: for an otherwise-valid namespace, apply the SAME contract
+   *     as the write path — full containment (`isContainedStorageDir`: lexical +
+   *     symlink/realpath) AND namespace ownership (`isStorageDirForNamespace`). When
+   *     a record fails EITHER check we substitute the trusted resolved-and-safe root

+   * ACQUISITION RESULT (round 6, codex P2 — NBPmY): `fn` receives whether WE
+   * actually hold the lock. When acquisition TIMED OUT (another holder is active),
+   * a MUTATING rebuild must NOT perform its load/rename window unlocked, and a
