+  shadow replacement through one-work-unit seal cursors. Stable per-prefix
+  owner slots replace the former registry-global mutation gate. One Runtime-
+  scoped versioned journal coalesces repeated live mutations by owner instead
+  of copying the owner into every draft on every event. Each draft reconciles
+  only the latest exact state for owners changed during its lifetime, one owner
+  per seal step, so unrelated or continuously moving owners cannot restart the
+  target cursors. Once discovered, a relevant owner receives exact subscribed
+  updates without restoring global fanout. First entry to or departure from a
+  target after the global slot cursor has passed is routed through the owner's
+  changed prefix to that one matching draft. During topology construction a
+  visited unrelated owner receives only a cheap coalesced dirty notification;
+  its exact mirror is deferred to one metered seal unit. Once the topology seal
+  exists, observed owners temporarily write through exactly until activation,
+  so the finite pre-seal queue drains even when several unrelated owners move
+  continuously. Production activates in that same update-thread call. Slots older than a
+  newer draft's captured root are superseded at the tail rather than reused
+  behind live cursors; new drafts start at their captured suffix, obsolete
+  slots compact incrementally, and the journal clears with the last draft.
+  Empty prefix containers are reclaimed under GUID churn; seal cursors retain
+  their captured slot lists.
+  Cache, CellGraph, engine, and shadow topology share one complete off-side
+  `CollisionWorldState`. Admission captures the current root reference in O(1)
+  and materializes the non-target leaves through the same one-work-unit frame
+  meter; a dense resident world is never cloned synchronously. After an older
+  preparation commits, its exact landblock delta queues into every later draft
+  and drains one cache, graph, landblock, or owner leaf per seal step. A later
+  demotion or withdrawal cancels matching queued/active rebases and tombstones
+  that prefix in unfinished source scans, then retires one owner/cache/graph/
+  outdoor leaf per seal step from growable retirement storage. Commit rechecks
+  both retirement and rebase state after sealing, so retired topology cannot
+  return or cause a drafts-times-world-size update spike.
+  The host immediately performs the zero-work root transfer in the same update-
+  thread call that completes final reconciliation, so continuous unrelated
+  movement cannot manufacture a required quiet frame between seal and commit.
+  Deterministic preparation order prevents a later draft from exposing early,
+  inheriting cancelled topology, or overwriting a committed prefix. Final activation is one
+  zero-allocation volatile root transfer that preserves public facade identity,
+  revokes staging, and then emits `CollisionGenerationCommitted`. Cancellation disposes only the named
+  staging generation and never withdraws the previous active world. Thus
+  readers see the complete old generation or complete new generation, never a
+  mixed cell/cache/shadow world.

Retained includes dynamics and adjacent-root statics; only target-root statics are superseded by the authored replacement. App and Headless build one shared off-side `CollisionWorldState` through one-work-unit preparation/capture/seal cursors. Admission captures the active root in O(1); a stable landblock/owner slot suffix materializes non-target leaves incrementally, so resident-world size cannot become a synchronous clone spike. Reusable per-prefix owner slots and one Runtime-scoped versioned journal replace event-time exact-copy fanout: repeated live mutations coalesce by owner, every draft reconciles only that owner's latest exact state one owner per seal call, discovered relevant owners receive scoped exact updates, and visited unrelated owners receive only a cheap coalesced dirty notification before metered replay. Once topology sealing finishes, observed owners temporarily write through exactly until same-call activation; the finite pre-seal queue therefore drains even under continuous multi-owner movement. New drafts start at their captured journal suffix; old slots are superseded rather than reused behind live cursors and compact through the same meter. Unrelated churn therefore never restarts or starves target capture/sealing. Deterministically ordered concurrent preparations receive committed—not merely sealed—peer deltas and rebase one cache, graph, landblock, or owner leaf per seal step; cancellation therefore cannot leak unpublished topology. Demotion/withdrawal cancels a matching queued or active rebase, suppresses the prefix in unfinished source scans, and retires one owner/cache/graph/outdoor leaf per seal call. The complete previous generation remains queryable until one zero-managed-byte volatile root transfer in the same update-thread call as final reconciliation; that preserves PhysicsDataCache, CellGraph, PhysicsEngine, and ShadowObjectRegistry facade identity, revokes staging, and requires no quiet frame. A stale admission or staging failure disposes only that private generation and cannot withdraw the active world or invalidate a newer admission. Authored same-ID target statics, live-current-cell changes, owner departure/reuse, newly relevant seam-crossing statics, and teardown remain coherent across drafts; empty per-prefix owner containers are reclaimed without invalidating captured seal cursors.
