+// decoration — a Given seeding state no f12 code path reads.
+//
+//   F12_TREE            a project tree with a written relay.json
+//   F12_RELAY_LIVE      a relay on a free port with an injectable store
+//   F12_STORE_EMPTY     a fresh store, seq 0
+//   F12_STORE_BATCH_3   seq 1..3 already held (the walk-around)
+//   F12_CURSOR_AT(n)    the cursor file at a known prior value
+//   F12_HOSTILE_MESSAGES the framing-forgery corpus (a table, not a value)
+//   F12_RELAY_DEAD      a relay.json naming a dead pid + an unbound port
