 /**
  * A thread drives the execution loop for an agent.
+ *
+ * Ground principles:
+ *
+ *   1) Event log is source of truth.
+ *      - Persistent storage (e.g. Postgres) is treated as an append-only per-thread log of `ThreadEvent`s:
+ *        monotonic `seq`, no gaps, no updates/deletes.
+ *      - `Thread.state`, `tick`, etc. are projections of that log, not an alternative source of truth.
+ *
+ *   2) Single writer per thread.
+ *      - At most one executor is allowed for a given `tid` at a time.
+ *      - Callers are responsible for enforcing this (e.g. locking/versioning) so two processes cannot
+ *        interleave or race on `seq` or state.
+ *
+ *   3) Persist before use / observation.
+ *      - Before an event can:
+ *        - influence a future tick (i.e. be part of `history` fed back into the model), or
+ *        - be considered “delivered” to a client,
+ *        it SHOULD be durably written to storage when storage is configured.
+ *
+ *   4) Transaction boundaries match semantic steps.
+ *      - The intended strategy is to buffer within a tick, then atomically persist all new events + state
+ *        at the end of `tick()`.
+ *      - After a crash, you only ever see whole ticks or none, never half a tick, from the store’s
+ *        point of view.
+ *
+ *   5) Recovery is replay.
+ *      - On restart, callers rebuild a `Thread` from the stored event log (plus optional snapshots).
+ *      - Any incomplete tick or pending tool call is handled by a clear, deterministic policy at a
+ *        higher layer (e.g. re-run, mark failed, or require manual intervention).
+ *
+ * On storage failures:
+ *
+ *   “If storage is configured, it is authoritative” → fail hard on persist errors rather than
+ *   treating persistence as best-effort.
+ *
+ *   If a storage implementation is present, `persist(...)` is expected to throw on failure, and
+ *   that error should bubble out of `_execute()` / `stream()` and stop the thread.
