+/**
+ * Where the code that opens an implicit transaction finds `TransactionClient`.
+ *
+ * A nested write (or an upsert that looks its row up first) issued outside a
+ * transaction opens one of its own and runs the nested-write engine against a
+ * `TransactionClient` (query/builder.ts; powql.ts, the PowDB generator, does
+ * the same and can read this slot too). Those modules sit BELOW client.ts in
+ * the import graph: client.ts imports query/, so a static value import back
+ * would be a cycle, and scripts/check-import-cycles.mjs refuses one.
+ *
+ * builder.ts used to reach the class with a dynamic import of client.ts.
+ * That works, but a bundler that does not split code (esbuild, which is also
+ * what the size budget in .size-limit.js measures, and Wrangler) inlines the
+ * dynamic target and, to keep its evaluation lazy, wraps client.ts and every
+ * module it reaches in lazy-init closures: about 1 kB brotli on every entry,
+ * for a module that is always already loaded by the time a query runs.
+ * client.ts instead registers the class here once, when it is evaluated, and
+ * every public entry point evaluates client.ts.
+ *
+ * ## One slot per package copy, deliberately not `Symbol.for`
+ *
+ * The ESM and CJS builds can both be loaded in one process. Shared state that
+ * must agree across them (the warn-once registry, the prepared-statement
+ * budget) lives under a `Symbol.for` key; this slot must NOT. A builder has to
+ * construct the `TransactionClient` of its OWN copy, exactly as the dynamic
+ * import did: the other copy's class builds the other copy's accessors and
+ * transaction state and throws the other copy's error classes, so `instanceof`
+ * checks in the caller's copy would stop matching. Each copy's entry points
+ * load that copy's client.ts, so each copy's slot is filled.
+ *
+ * ## An empty slot
+ *
+ * Reachable only when a `QueryInterface` is built directly and client.ts was
+ * never loaded in that copy: a test or tool that deep-imports query/, or a
+ * bundled application that uses the exported `QueryInterface` without ever
+ * importing `TurbineClient` or an engine factory (with `sideEffects: false` a
+ * bundler may then drop client.ts). Only the implicit-transaction path reads
+ * the slot, so everything else keeps working; that path throws a
+ * `ValidationError` (E003) naming the fix, before any connection is checked out.
+ *
+ * The import of client.ts below is type-only, so this file adds no edge to the

+/**
+ * Where the code that opens an implicit transaction finds `TransactionClient`.
+ *
+ * A nested write (or an upsert that looks its row up first) issued outside a
+ * transaction opens one of its own and runs the nested-write engine against a
+ * `TransactionClient` (query/builder.ts; powql.ts, the PowDB generator, does
+ * the same and can read this slot too). Those modules sit BELOW client.ts in
+ * the import graph: client.ts imports query/, so a static value import back
+ * would be a cycle, and scripts/check-import-cycles.mjs refuses one.
+ *
+ * builder.ts used to reach the class with a dynamic import of client.ts.
+ * That works, but a bundler that does not split code (esbuild, which is also
+ * what the size budget in .size-limit.js measures, and Wrangler) inlines the
+ * dynamic target and, to keep its evaluation lazy, wraps client.ts and every
+ * module it reaches in lazy-init closures: about 1 kB brotli on every entry,
+ * for a module that is always already loaded by the time a query runs.
+ * client.ts instead registers the class here once, when it is evaluated, and
+ * every public entry point evaluates client.ts.
+ *
+ * ## One slot per package copy, deliberately not `Symbol.for`
+ *
+ * The ESM and CJS builds can both be loaded in one process. Shared state that
+ * must agree across them (the warn-once registry, the prepared-statement
+ * budget) lives under a `Symbol.for` key; this slot must NOT. A builder has to
+ * construct the `TransactionClient` of its OWN copy, exactly as the dynamic
+ * import did: the other copy's class builds the other copy's accessors and
+ * transaction state and throws the other copy's error classes, so `instanceof`
+ * checks in the caller's copy would stop matching. Each copy's entry points
+ * load that copy's client.ts, so each copy's slot is filled.
+ *
+ * ## An empty slot
+ *
+ * Reachable only when a `QueryInterface` is built directly and client.ts was
+ * never loaded in that copy: a test or tool that deep-imports query/, or a
+ * bundled application that uses the exported `QueryInterface` without ever
+ * importing `TurbineClient` or an engine factory (with `sideEffects: false` a
+ * bundler may then drop client.ts). Only the implicit-transaction path reads
+ * the slot, so everything else keeps working; that path throws a
+ * `ValidationError` (E003) naming the fix, before any connection is checked out.
+ *
+ * The import of client.ts below is type-only, so this file adds no edge to the
+ * runtime graph. errors.ts is a leaf.
