- `resident: all | keys` replaces `resident: all | index`. Two reasons beyond
taste: it kills the collision with the `index:` argument
(`@table(index: [customer], resident: index)` read badly), and it puts both
values on ONE axis — each now answers "what row data stays resident",
where `all`/`index` mixed a quantity with a structure name
- accurate as well as clearer: what stays resident is the id->offset map, the
secondary indexes and the unique shadows — all key structures; row payloads
are exactly what leaves. `resident: none` was rejected as overclaiming,
since the indexes very much are resident
- checked for collisions: neither `all` nor `keys` is a keyword or a builtin
(`key_at`/`val_at` exist, bare `keys` does not)
- the spec's wart note became a recorded decision; the rejected spelling is
kept quoted so the rationale still reads
- fixes a bug I introduced in the 2026-08-26 track move: all six moved
iterations carried a banner reading "Part of [Story — the database beyond
RAM]" whose link pointed at the LANGUAGE arc — correct target, lying text,
the exact failure mode the link audit warned about. Banners now point at
the databasev2 story, and the original "Part of" line says plainly which
track the iteration was authored in before the move
