Indexing
An index family, not an index — and a policy for mixing generations.
x64base carries several index containers rather than one, and publishes the attach, rebuild, order, seek, and verification seams as architecture instead of sealed internals.
| Container | Generation | Status |
|---|---|---|
INX | Classic | Runtime-proven |
CNX | Classic | Runtime-proven |
CDX with an LMDB key store | x64 | Runtime-proven |
Cross-generation attachment is policy
Runtime-proven A classic CNX may be explicitly attached to an x64 table, with an advisory. Rebuild
routing follows correctly and the CDX default is unchanged. This is a decision the engine
makes deliberately, not an accident of permissiveness.
Chartered The mirror direction — CDX on a classic table — is registered and awaiting its
proof. It is not claimed until a regression shows it.
Indexes in memory
Runtime-proven The in-process virtual disk hosts complete x64 tables and their native CDX indexes with zero files on disk: created, indexed, read back in order, and torn down entirely in RAM.
