 - **Persistent Storage**: Works with StableBTreeMap stable structure for persistent storage on your canister's stable memory so your data persists automatically across canister upgrades.
-- **Range-based paging**: `load_some`, `find`, `instances` and `rebuild_field_index` read a page of entities with a single ordered `range` call on the stable map (Basilisk `StableBTreeMap.range`), so cost tracks the rows returned rather than the highest id ever issued, and deleted ids are free. Backends without `range` (older CDK builds, plain dict test doubles) transparently fall back to one read per id.

Backends without `range` (older CDK builds, plain dict test doubles) transparently fall back to one read per id. `instances()` and `find()` load a whole type: they are deprecated and raise `TooLargeError` past 1,000 entities (use `count()`, `find_by()` or `page()`).
 - **Entity-Relational Database**: Create, read and write entities with OneToOne, OneToMany, ManyToOne, and ManyToMany relationships.
 - **Schema Versioning & Upgrade Safety**: Automatic schema introspection, compatibility checking, and auto-migration for safe changes. Breaking changes without a `migrate()` method are rejected, preventing data corruption on canister upgrades.
 - **Entity Hooks**: Intercept and control entity lifecycle events (create, modify, delete) with `on_event` hooks.

+group.members.add(user)                      # index writes only
+```
+
+Iterating, indexing and comparing still work, but they load every member, so past `constants.MAX_UNPAGED` (1,000) they raise `TooLargeError` instead of running into the IC instruction limit. Walk a large relation with `page()`, across calls if needed:
+
+```python
+cursor = 1
+while cursor is not None:
+    stands, cursor = section.stands.page(cursor, 50)
+```
+
+`list(view)` gives a plain list. Deleting a parent is O(1): its index entries are purged in bounded steps by later writes, or by `Database.get_instance().purge_step()` from a timer.
