+/**
+ * The motion spine's Retarget (ADR-0005), Solid-free (#209): what an element does from its mount on
+ * when its target changes, for the Solid 1 binding (`create-ward.tsx`'s `runSpine`) and the Solid 2
+ * one (`unstable/v2/ward.tsx`) alike. A binding mounts the element, resolves its Override stack
+ * reactively ({@link resolutionOf}), and calls {@link ElementSpine.retarget} on each change, read
+ * where its Solid doesn't track; everything a Retarget does is here:
+ *
+ *   end the running legs -> carry the keys no entry sets back to their Base values (ADR-0022) ->
+ *   start each key from its Snapshot (ADR-0024) -> take over an Appear animation (ADR-0044) ->
+ *   build the legs (`retarget-legs.ts`) and run each into the gate -> `gate.write`.
+ *
+ * With it, the helpers both bindings' Wards share: the Starting values, the Base values' start links,
+ * the sink wrappers, and what a server render reads.
