+C-B combines return provenance with cleanup and public borrow semantics because
+they exercise the same direct/indirect/imported ownership matrix. F-A/F-B/F-C
+run concurrently; F-B combines L4 and L6 so named regions land with a useful
+materialization consumer. Q2 implements both drivers against one common
+surface, Q3 implements both checked-metadata codecs together, Q4a closes
+prepared/transaction reuse, and Q4b closes streaming/cancellation resilience.
+Q3 starts alongside Q4a after Q2; Q5a/Q5b follow Q3;
+D11 mutation and D12 read-only inspection may be two parallel PRs because they
+are independently useful failure domains. Q6 follows Q4b. The first public
+database release waits for Q5a/Q5b and Q6. The runtime path
+Q4a → Q4b → Q6 and tooling path Q3 → {Q5a,Q5b} proceed in parallel after Q2.
+
+D13 and D14 are committed follow-on release trains, not unspecified ideas. A1/D13
+builds on the typed streaming/cancellation/compound paths; A2/D14 builds on both
+drivers and the proved cancellation/callback rules and does not depend on D13.
+Their independently useful common/driver rails may proceed in parallel; no
+unrelated native surface waits merely for an earlier bullet in the same D label.
+For planning language, **initial `pkg.db` release** means L1a–L7 plus D1–D12;
+**complete committed `pkg.db` roadmap** means those plus D13 and D14. D0 is
+disposable native evidence and may run in parallel at any time.
+
+Every wave must produce a compiling, focused-owner-backed checkpoint within
+eight active hours and a PR-ready capability within twenty-four active hours,
+unless it is waiting only on one still-progressing required command or external
+CI. Missing that outcome causes a time-cost audit and consumer-boundary re-cut;
+it does not cause a documentation-only checkpoint or an automatically smaller
+dormant PR.

Linux x86_64 runs Clippy and the bounded `scripts/test-pr.sh` gate, which covers the deterministic compiler libraries, the cross-crate interface and formatter targets, and the M0 compile/link/run smoke. The retained full workspace corpus is explicit via `scripts/test-full.sh` for unusually broad changes and release preparation; it is not an every-PR gate. All three targets gate the workspace build, a release build, and the packaged-command smoke test. A repository-wide rustfmt baseline is intentionally separate from this release-automation change.
