+    thread serializing the previously-published snapshot can't observe a torn

+    mirrors the doctor-on-idle treatment (spec §6): config is render-key-stable on
+    the idle path (the short-circuit only runs when the render key — which bundles
+    the full raw config — is unchanged), so recomputing is cheap small-JSON I/O,
