+/**
+ * design/252 G-6 — the LIVENESS half the wiring manifest deliberately does not have.
+ *
+ * The manifest's own §0 boundary says it: "this is STATIC ASSEMBLY SELF-DISCLOSURE — seam presence and
+ * shape, as facts. It does NOT prove liveness (a callback bound to the wrong run, a dead queue, an
+ * adapter's internal failure, an answer routed to the wrong instance). Liveness belongs to round-trip
+ * probes, which are a separate obligation." This module is that obligation for the PARK lane, and it
+ * quotes the boundary rather than dissolving it: a manifest reporting `parkLane.effective: true` over a
+ * store declaring `durability: "durable"` says a store is wired and what it CLAIMS. It cannot say the
+ * store accepts a row, returns the same row, and lets the fence win — which is the whole park contract,
+ * and the part a deployment gets wrong (a read-only mount, a serializer that drops a nested field, a
+ * scope column missing from the WHERE).
+ *
+ * TWO CHECKS, DIFFERENT KINDS, DELIBERATELY IN ONE MODULE:
+ *  · {@link probeParkRoundTrip} — the live probe: mint a synthetic parked row, read it back, verify the
+ *    load-bearing fields survived, fence it, confirm the fence landed.
+ *  · {@link durableParkGapOf} — the STATIC two-halves reading: a durable park is a durable checkpoint
+ *    store AND a durable session store, and a deployment with one of them is the configuration whose
+ *    failure mode is a resume that reports a missing session instead of the seat that is missing. One
+ *    module because they are one question asked at two costs, and a second home for "what does a whole
+ *    durable park need" is how the two answers drift.
+ *
+ * WHAT THE PROBE WRITES (read this before wiring it): it PUTs a real checkpoint row into the real
+ * store, under a scope of its own (`{@link PARK_SELFCHECK_SCOPE_PREFIX}<random>`) that no task ever
+ * uses, and fences it to `expired` on EVERY exit — including the failing ones, since a pending row is,
+ * to an approval inbox, an approval waiting for someone.
+ *
+ * The expired row then REMAINS, and remains permanently as far as this interface is concerned: there is
+ * no delete verb on `CheckpointStore`, and `reap` moves PENDING rows to expired rather than removing
+ * expired ones. So each probe run costs one small terminal row under one throwaway scope, and reclaiming
+ * them is the backend's own retention concern (a table TTL, a sweep keyed on the scope prefix). An inbox
+ * does not see them — `listByScope` enumerates pending rows only — but `listScopes` may still report the
+ * scope, and during the probe's own window the row is briefly enumerable and, in principle, resolvable
+ * by anything watching the whole store. Both are the price of probing the real lane rather than a
+ * pretend one; a deployment that cannot pay it should not run the probe, and there is no read-only
+ * variant because a read-only probe would prove exactly what the manifest already discloses.
