+ * classification is therefore projected down to a COUNT PER MISS CLASS before it
+ * ever reaches this contract: the class names are a closed enumeration fixed by
+ * the sprint, so a count discloses nothing about content.
+ *
+ * This view exposes ONLY:
+ *   - whether the VC7C flag is enabled and the runtime triad mode it implies;
+ *   - one count per exclusive miss class (profile, range, dependency, request,

+ *   - how many cache serves the breaker blocked (a count, never the blocked key
+ *     or the entry it would have served);
+ *   - the breaker's observable state and the last CACHE/M5 rejection code.
+ * Request payloads, request digests, covered ranges, span digests, profile
+ * digests, and session ids live in the structured event log / conformance

+/**
+ * cache/breaker.ts — VC7C cache-serve breaker (composes VC0C's createBreaker).
+ *
+ * This file does NOT reinvent a state machine. It wraps the TRIAD breaker from
+ * `../resilience/breaker-core.js` (VC0C) — the same CLOSED_A / OPEN_B / OPEN_C /
+ * PROBE_* / MANUAL_HALT states that protect every other subsystem — and adds the
+ * ONE cache-specific decision: whether a classified miss should block a cache
+ * SERVE before it can answer from a stale or invalid identity.
+ *
+ * TRIP KIND CLASSIFICATION (per team-lead correction + TRIAD_RESILIENCE §breaker):
+ * The four cache demotion conditions map onto `BreakerTripKind` as follows:
+ *
+ *   CORRECTNESS trips (trip on the FIRST failure, no rolling window):
+ *     - profile mismatch     — the crystal was minted under a different provider
+ *                              profile; serving it would return bytes for the wrong
+ *                              model tier. This is never "recovered from" by waiting.
+ *     - range mismatch       — the crystal's covered digest differs from the
+ *                              request's; the crystal covers different spans and
+ *                              serving it would return another conversation's frozen
+ *                              bytes. (Includes digest failure / collision.)
+ *     - request mismatch     — the request digest differs; the crystal was built
+ *                              for a different request entirely.
+ *
+ *   PERFORMANCE trips (accumulated over a rolling window before opening):
+ *     - dependency advanced   — the dependency high-water moved past the crystal's
+ *                              cached position. The crystal is stale but not WRONG;
+ *                              a single advance is normal churn. Repeated advances
+ *                              across a window indicate the cache is systematically
+ *                              behind the frontier — that is a performance signal.
+ *     - generation invalidated — the M6 router generation was invalidated. A single
+ *                              invalidation is expected during a router cut; repeated
+ *                              invalidations indicate a systematic generation
+ *                              instability.
+ *
+ * The distinction matters because a CORRECTNESS trip opens the breaker IMMEDIATELY
+ * (first failure), while a PERFORMANCE trip requires BREAKER_PERF_FAILURES within
+ * BREAKER_WINDOW_MS. The VC0C breaker-core already implements this via
+ * `BreakerTripKind`; we map each miss class to its trip kind and let breaker-core
+ * handle the window/threshold logic.
+ *
+ * "PROBE OUTPUT IS NEVER SERVED" (TRIAD_RESILIENCE line 13): when the breaker is in
+ * PROBE_A or PROBE_B, the probe is a TEST serve — its output must not be returned
+ * to the caller. `decideCacheServe` enforces this: PROBE_* states always return
+ * `block: true` and the fallback mode, never serving from cache.
+ *
+ * The decision is a CORRECTNESS behavior and is NEVER flag-gated (unlike the
+ * reporter seam in `./diagnostics-emit.ts`): flag-off must be byte-identical to
+ * the predecessor. `breakerRetryDelay()` from VC0C already implements the
+ * deterministic +-10% jitter from the subsystem digest — we use it, don't re-derive.

+/**
+ * cache/breaker.ts — VC7C cache-serve breaker (composes VC0C's createBreaker).
+ *
+ * This file does NOT reinvent a state machine. It wraps the TRIAD breaker from
+ * `../resilience/breaker-core.js` (VC0C) — the same CLOSED_A / OPEN_B / OPEN_C /
+ * PROBE_* / MANUAL_HALT states that protect every other subsystem — and adds the
+ * ONE cache-specific decision: whether a classified miss should block a cache
+ * SERVE before it can answer from a stale or invalid identity.
+ *
+ * TRIP KIND CLASSIFICATION (per team-lead correction + TRIAD_RESILIENCE §breaker):
+ * The four cache demotion conditions map onto `BreakerTripKind` as follows:
+ *
+ *   CORRECTNESS trips (trip on the FIRST failure, no rolling window):
+ *     - profile mismatch     — the crystal was minted under a different provider
+ *                              profile; serving it would return bytes for the wrong
+ *                              model tier. This is never "recovered from" by waiting.
+ *     - range mismatch       — the crystal's covered digest differs from the
+ *                              request's; the crystal covers different spans and
+ *                              serving it would return another conversation's frozen
+ *                              bytes. (Includes digest failure / collision.)
+ *     - request mismatch     — the request digest differs; the crystal was built
+ *                              for a different request entirely.
+ *
+ *   PERFORMANCE trips (accumulated over a rolling window before opening):
+ *     - dependency advanced   — the dependency high-water moved past the crystal's
+ *                              cached position. The crystal is stale but not WRONG;
+ *                              a single advance is normal churn. Repeated advances
+ *                              across a window indicate the cache is systematically
+ *                              behind the frontier — that is a performance signal.
+ *     - generation invalidated — the M6 router generation was invalidated. A single
+ *                              invalidation is expected during a router cut; repeated
+ *                              invalidations indicate a systematic generation
+ *                              instability.
+ *
+ * The distinction matters because a CORRECTNESS trip opens the breaker IMMEDIATELY
+ * (first failure), while a PERFORMANCE trip requires BREAKER_PERF_FAILURES within
+ * BREAKER_WINDOW_MS. The VC0C breaker-core already implements this via
+ * `BreakerTripKind`; we map each miss class to its trip kind and let breaker-core
+ * handle the window/threshold logic.
+ *
+ * "PROBE OUTPUT IS NEVER SERVED" (TRIAD_RESILIENCE line 13): when the breaker is in
+ * PROBE_A or PROBE_B, the probe is a TEST serve — its output must not be returned
+ * to the caller. `decideCacheServe` enforces this: PROBE_* states always return
+ * `block: true` and the fallback mode, never serving from cache.
+ *
+ * The decision is a CORRECTNESS behavior and is NEVER flag-gated (unlike the
+ * reporter seam in `./diagnostics-emit.ts`): flag-off must be byte-identical to
+ * the predecessor. `breakerRetryDelay()` from VC0C already implements the
+ * deterministic +-10% jitter from the subsystem digest — we use it, don't re-derive.
+ *
+ * PREVENT-002/011/PI-004 honored.
