+ * vector-cortex/heal/controller.ts — VC6C gap detection + rebuild planning.
+ *
+ * Compares each derived subsystem's high-water to the durable authority
+ * high-water and emits a `RepairPlanV1` for every gap that is real, actionable,
+ * and not rate-limited. The controller DECIDES; `rebuild.ts` executes.
+ *
+ * THE AUTHORITY IS NEVER WRITTEN. Every function here takes `RepairState` (whose
+ * `authorityHighWater` is readonly) and returns plans. There is no code path,
+ * guarded or otherwise, that mutates authority — derived state is rebuildable,
+ * authority is not, so repair is strictly one-directional.
+ *
+ * FOUR REASONS NOT TO PLAN, in priority order. The order is the contract: a
+ * frozen authority outranks a rate limit, because "the frontier is not real yet"
+ * is a statement about CORRECTNESS while "you rebuilt recently" is only about
+ * pacing. Reporting RATE_LIMITED during an outage would tell an operator to wait
+ * five minutes for a rebuild that must never happen at all.
+ *
+ *   1. AUTHORITY FROZEN. During an outage the durable high-water freezes while
+ *      the spool keeps accepting frames (TRIAD_RESILIENCE §frontier). A derived
+ *      subsystem behind a frozen frontier is CORRECT, so we refuse to plan rather
+ *      than chase the spool tail and materialize non-durable frames.
+ *   2. NO GAP. `derived >= authority` — nothing to do. Note `>`: a derived source
+ *      AHEAD of authority is not repaired by rebuilding a backwards range (that
+ *      would produce an inverted range); it is left alone for the breaker.
+ *   3. MODE C. Derived state is disabled for this subsystem. Re-planning a
+ *      subsystem whose derived tier is intentionally off is a rebuild loop.
+ *   4. RATE LIMITED. One rebuild per subsystem per 5 minutes.
+ *
+ * DETERMINISTIC JITTER. The ±10% spread comes from a SHA-256 of the subsystem
+ * name plus the attempt, never `Math.random`. Two subsystems desynchronize (no
+ * thundering herd) while a single subsystem's schedule is byte-reproducible — a
+ * fixture can pin `backoffMs` exactly, which a PRNG would make untestable.
+ *
+ * PURE. `node:crypto` is the only dependency beyond types: no storage, no

+/**
+ * vector-cortex/heal/rebuild.ts — VC6C generation rebuild + atomic pointer switch.
+ *
+ * Executes what `controller.ts` planned: materialize a NEW generation, verify its
+ * root digest, and only then flip the live pointer.
+ *
+ * COPY, VERIFY, SWITCH — in that order, always.
+ *
+ *   1. COPY. The rebuild writes into `plan.generation` (always `current + 1`),
+ *      never into the live generation. The thing currently being served is never
+ *      the thing being modified, so a crash mid-rebuild leaves a complete old
+ *      generation and a partial new one — never a torn live one.
+ *   2. VERIFY. The new generation's root digest must equal the digest the plan
+ *      pinned. This is the ONLY gate on the pointer.
+ *   3. SWITCH. `switchPointer` moves the pointer iff verification passed.
+ *
+ * A FAILED VERIFICATION DELETES NO EVIDENCE. On mismatch we keep the old pointer
+ * AND leave the new generation on disk. That is deliberate: the corrupt
+ * generation is the only artifact that can explain WHY the rebuild was wrong, and
+ * a self-healing system that tidies up its failures is a system that cannot be
+ * debugged. Cleanup is a separate, explicit operator action.
+ *
+ * CRASH SAFETY IS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE ORDER, NOT AN EXTRA STEP. The pointer is
+ * the single atomic commit point. Kill the process after step 1 or 2 and the old
+ * pointer is still live, so the next start serves the prior generation and simply
+ * re-plans — the orphaned generation is inert. This is what
+ * `rebuild-chaos.test.ts` pins.
+ *
+ * THE TRIAD (independent algorithms, per TRIAD_RESILIENCE).
+ *   A — TARGETED: rebuild only `plan.range`, reusing the prior generation for
+ *       everything outside it. Cheap; needs a healthy prior generation.
+ *   B — FULL DETERMINISTIC: re-derive the whole subsystem from the byte ledger,
+ *       reusing NOTHING. Independent of A: it shares no index, no prior
+ *       generation, and no incremental state, so a bug or corruption that breaks
+ *       A cannot break B the same way.
+ *   C — DISABLE DERIVED STATE: no rebuild at all. Mode C is a real outcome, not
+ *       an error path, and it MUST state its loss of old semantic context — the
+ *       subsystem serves nothing rather than serving something wrong.
+ *
+ * PURE. `node:crypto` only — no storage, no console, no clock, no network
+ * (PREVENT-PI-004 / PREVENT-011). Callers own persistence; this module owns the
+ * decision and the digest arithmetic, which is what makes it fixture-testable.
