Edgar ArakelyanandClaude Opus 5.5 466ed8b433 fix(environment): name entities and weigh interference per write as serving and the recording show
Greptile raised these on this branch, the fidelity branch and the list-lines branch; five follow from the previous
round's changes.
- An entity field whose name looks like a pointer is matched by name; only a document's pointers cover the members under them.
- A failed read contradicts each exercised write that no unmodelled write came after, instead of skipping them all when the oldest pending write preceded one; the shared pending `since` time goes.
- An item read, update or delete names its entity as serving's namedEntity does: held collections its path matches, verbatim spellings first, the id decoded once, then as written; `book%2531` no longer reaches `book1`.
- A plan whose calls use a member both as the identity and as a fixed member, or fix it at different values, is refused, as serving could not take every recorded call.
- A size of zero bounds nothing only on a line whose recording listed items under it (pageBound), in serving and in the gate.
- An update whose observation drops a field the entity held is refused, as serving keeps every field it does not write.
- A later create whose clock takes another format, or whose unique value is not a UUID, is refused.
- A derived state data/get would write past the 32 MiB intake limit is not served (admitServedState); the environment serves replay.

The verdicts over the 50 captures are unchanged plan by plan, and the smoke applies all 31 served write tools.
