+/**
+ * compute.ts — compute, WebAssembly, WebGPU and AI workload domain for saddle v6.
+ *
+ * the module absorbs the compute-facing families of the removed
+ * future.ts file (55-feature ledger, v2) into their proper domain:
+ * - wasm/wasmtime (8): WIT bindings generator, WASI 0.3.0 async runtime
+ *   with cancellation, fuel metering, epoch interruption, wasi:nn
+ *   backend with real softmax, deny-by-default component ACL,
+ *   component registry, linear memory pool
+ * - webgpu (4): forced fallback adapter over lavapipe, compute pipeline
+ *   builder with the 256-invocation limit, WGSL shader cache, matmul
+ *   dispatch planner
+ * - node 26 (7): Temporal-aware scheduler, Float16 tensor storage with
+ *   own binary16 conversion, Error.isError guard, node:sqlite sync
+ *   store with memory fallback, disposable module.register hook chain,
+ *   Perfetto trace sink, private key store with loader indirection
+ * - ai workloads (6): DataLoader /dev/shm planner, TF CUDA
+ *   forward-compatibility matrix, ONNX WebGPU EP session builder, LLM
+ *   inference on lavapipe, headless Stable Diffusion, VRAM budget
+ *
+ * omnihypercore verified additions (research pass 2026-08-23):
+ * - wasm canary validator: module validation with smoke execution and
+ *   automatic rollback to the last healthy revision
+ * - WASI-GFX: the wasi:gfx proposal bringing wgpu 30.x WebGPU into wasm
+ *   components ("wgpu virt wgpu 30"), planned as capability grants
+ * - ChatOps dashboard: chat command builders (/vm create, /gpu attach,
+ *   /migrate) emitting JSON command envelopes plus a WebGPU dashboard
+ *   spec
+ * - GPU telemetry via eBPF: bpf program builder for GPU UAPI counters
+ *   (DRM_IOCTL tracepoints feeding per-engine utilization maps)
+ * - AI live migration pre-copy predictor: dirty page estimation with
+ *   simple online learning, the AI-flavoured companion of the
+ *   checkpoint family that now lives in virtualization.ts
+ *
+ * v4-FIX3 additions (portal 0-reference absorption, 2026-08-23):
+ * - PartyKit edge presence channel builder (rooms, wss endpoints,
+ *   join/leave/update presence, 100 ms heartbeat)
+ * - L3AF 2.1 xBPF marketplace app manager emitting l3afd configs
+ * - GreenHyper RAPL power-aware binpacking governor over
+ *   /sys/class/powercap intel-rapl constraint files
+ * - StateVector 2-round sync: lamport state vectors with
+ *   last-writer-wins merge (CRDT convergence without a coordinator)
+ * - libp2p + BitTorrent v2 content addressing: sha2-256 multihashes,
+ *   base32 CIDv1 raw, 16 KiB merkle roots, magnet links, multiaddrs
+ * - Tailscale tailnet endpoint planner with the CGNAT 100.64.0.0/10
+ *   guard, MagicDNS names, DERP fallback and six mesh milestones
+ * - MAX9 catalogued as a legacy build/delivery variant (zip level 9,
+ *   51% ratio, :max9 tag) - NOT an NVIDIA Maxwell GPU
+ * - roadmapbacklog: the thirteen v4 future.ts items that were still
+ *   unabsorbed (AMX, dual-X3D, WebTransport, Turborepo GHCR, pnpm v9,
+ *   QUIC/H3, WebRTC mesh, OPFS, WebCodecs+WebGPU, SAB cross-origin,
+ *   WASM JSPI, GHCR gha reuse, Nix flakes) plus backlogCount()
+ *
+ * version anchors (worklog v3-VERIFY, 2026-08-23): wasmtime 48.0.0 LTS
+ * (confirmed, supported until 2028-08), spin 3.6.0 (spinframework),
+ * wasmcloud tracked as latest 2.x without a pin (release page did not
+ * expose the version), wgpu 30.x (corrected from 24.x), kernel stable
+ * 7.1.9 / longterm 6.18.45. ports never hardcoded; loopback never used.
+ *
+ * contexts (25+9): witbindings, wasi03async, fuel, epoch, wasinn,
+ * componentacl, componentregistry, wasmmempool, lavapipe, pipelines,
+ * shadercache, temporal, float16, errorguard, sqlitestore, modulehooks,
+ * perfetto, keystore, aiplanners, inference, canary, wasigfx, chatops,
+ * ebpfgpu, aimigration, portalsync, l3afmanager, greenhyper,
+ * statevector, p2pcontent, tailscaleplan, max9variant, roadmapbacklog
+ * (the featureledger appendix closes the file)
+ *
+ * rules: lowercase identifiers, english jsdoc third person, no emoji,
+ * try/catch catcher on every fallible path, node:* built-ins first,
+ * zero runtime dependencies, `using`/`satisfies`/`#private`/const type
+ * parameters throughout.
