fix(storage): enforce current publishing contract and prove lifecycle continuity

[DecisionNerd]

GFDR admitted topology operations even though replay did not maintain every current-format topology authority. This change enforces the existing public routing contract: property mutations may use GFDR; topology mutations publish canonically. Admission, persisted decoding, retry shortcuts and direct replay reject unsupported topology before changing authority.

Four Rust-facade cases prove actual flat composite CREATE and sharded construction, each exploratory and ontology-promoted, through property replay, compaction, node/edge deletion and allocation continuation, reopen, exact query, export/full verification, clean import and subsequent mutation. Existing journal, recovery and benchmark fixtures now seed canonical topology and exercise supported property operations. No compatibility reader or migration is added.

The publishing matrix and acceptance ledger document producer/consumer ownership, applicable authorities, rejection and reused recovery/snapshot evidence. Frozen-executable CPU, I/O, RSS and overlapping-allocation observations accompany deterministic replay/compaction budgets, with explicit limitations and no incomparable baseline claim.

Validation: all 45 publishing-budget cases pass in release coverage, including the four conformance cases; all four also pass each of three frozen measurement runs. The 18 journal and 10 compaction integration tests, workspace Clippy (-D warnings), formatting, fast checks and gate-registry checks pass. Independent source and evidence review found no outstanding finding.

make pre-push completed its Rust test stage with one known host failure: project_generation::tests::wave9_participant_inventory_rejects_links_and_special_files hardcodes /tmp, where filesystem admission refuses this host before reaching its assertions. Release storage units report 1,085 passed / 1 failed / 2 pre-existing ignored; the separate debug storage suite reports 1,086 passed / the same failure / 2 ignored. The full local run is failed, not green. Before that failure, 737 API units, all 118 BDD scenarios, all 45 publishing-budget cases and the changed CLI compaction test passed. No tests were skipped or weakened. Required CI must pass at the exact head before merge.

Closes #1221
