feat(content): classify blobs below a content horizon as elided

A store cone may now carry a content horizon (draft-fossil-horizon-00 §3.2, §4.1-§4.3). Classification computes the held set K from the store's own check-in graph and walks K's full trees -- F cards directly, through B baselines and through S sub-manifest nodes, with one visited set over structural names -- because mlink records a file version only where it changed, and a blob introduced below C and unchanged through C is named by C's tree alone. Nothing about K is stored: every classification recomputes it, so moving C or losing the cone is a reload, never a migration.

Blobs no K check-in names are elided; with path members as well a blob is kept only when it is in both keep sets. Under a horizon nothing structural is elided, by the horizon or by path members, and delta bases of held artifacts and shunned names keep their classes. A C the store does not hold elides nothing, as zit's classification does: eliding everything would leave the pull that brings a deepened C nothing to ask for. A structural horizon is refused by SetStoreCone until it is implemented.

internal/content now imports internal/horizon, so the held-set tests, which commit through internal/manifest, move to an external test package to avoid an import cycle. check-in: 2ea6479ba9 user: [email protected] tags: feat/horizon-cones, trunk

conform(horizon): pin at horizon-rfc bbd1435674; the leaves rule over P cards

zit's author called horizon-rfc bbd1435674 ready to implement against, and zit#265 settled the leaves rule there against fossil's leaf: a childless check-in is one no P card names, open or closed, and K under the leaves rule is C's descendants plus every descendant of each check-in where a childless check-in's ancestry meets C's. Both rules now yield a set closed under descendants, so leaves and branch tips derive exactly.

HeldSet follows zit's computation at that check-in (src/sparse.zig, ClassifyState.extend): meeting points are the members of C's ancestry a childless check-in's parent walk reaches without passing one, and a childless check-in is skipped only when it descends from C. The tests that encoded the old rule are restated: a merged-but-open branch tip adds nothing, a closed branch's tip does, the fork's descendants on C's side are held, and an unrelated root adds nothing.

The draft copy, the README pin and the table follow: HZ-3.1-1, HZ-5.2-1 (the seed applies to every entry of K) and HZ-6.2-11 (announce only in reply to a request that pulls) are restated, and HZ-3.1-4 (closure under descendants) is new, with a case checking that no child of a held check-in falls outside K under either rule. check-in: a68f89e414 user: [email protected] tags: feat/horizon-cones, trunk

refactor(horizon): name the held-set rule with the cone's HorizonRule

Both slices defined the descendants/leaves rule: cone.HorizonRule for the serialized member and horizon.Rule for the walk. One concept gets one type; the walk now takes the value the cone carries. check-in: 6d8ccec5da user: [email protected] tags: feat/horizon-cones, trunk
