Kill lifecycle/head-state duplication. No StrandLifecycle field. Strand either exists in registry (live) or doesn't (dropped). Operational state derived from heads — single source of truth. 2. Hard-delete drop semantics. No tombstone, no Dropped state. drop_strand returns a DropReceipt (strand_id, child_worldline_id, final tick). get() returns None after drop. 3. Pin BaseRef exactly. fork_tick is last included tick. commit_hash is at fork_tick. boundary_hash is output boundary (state root after applying patch). All five fields same coordinate. Add provenance_ref for substrate-native lookups. 4. Add four invariants: INV-S7 (distinct worldlines), INV-S8 (head ownership), INV-S9 (empty support_pins in v1), INV-S10 (clean drop — no runnable heads remain). 5. Require integration test proving strand heads excluded from live scheduler runnable set. 6. Define create/drop atomicity with rollback sequence. 7. Document registry ordering, writer_heads cardinality-1 in v1, get/contains API surface. 8.

There is no tombstone state. + +## Invariants + +The following invariants are normative. "MUST" and "MUST NOT" follow +RFC 2119 convention. + +### INV-S1 — Immutable base + +A strand's `base_ref` MUST NOT change after creation. The `BaseRef` +pins the exact provenance coordinate the strand was forked from: +source worldline ID, fork tick (last included tick in the copied +prefix), commit hash at fork tick, output boundary hash (state root +after applying the patch), and a `ProvenanceRef` handle. + +### INV-S2 — Own heads + +A strand's child worldline MUST NOT share writer heads with its base +worldline. Head keys are created fresh for the child, using the same +`WriterHead` infrastructure but with `WriterHeadKey.worldline_id` +set to the child worldline. + +### INV-S3 — Session-scoped + +A strand MUST NOT outlive the session that created it (v1). No +strand persistence across sessions. + +### INV-S4 — Manual tick + +A strand's writer heads MUST be created with +`HeadEligibility::Dormant` and `PlaybackMode::Paused`. They are +ticked only by explicit external command, never by the live +scheduler. Dormant heads do not appear in the `RunnableWriterSet`. + +### INV-S5 — Complete base_ref + +`base_ref` MUST pin: source worldline ID, fork tick, commit hash, +boundary hash, and provenance ref. All fields MUST agree with the +provenance store at construction time. If any field disagrees, +construction MUST fail. + +### INV-S6 — Inherited quantum + +A strand inherits its parent's `tick_quantum` at fork time (per +[FIXED-TIMESTEP](./FIXED-TIMESTEP.md) invariant). No strand can +change its quantum. + +### INV-S7 — Distinct worldlines + +`child_worldline_id` MUST NOT equal `base_ref.source_worldline_id`. +A strand is always a distinct worldline from its base. + +### INV-S8 — Head ownership + +Every key in `writer_heads` MUST belong to `child_worldline_id`. +No head may reference a different worldline. + +### INV-S9 — No support pins in v1 + +`support_pins` MUST be empty in v1. The field exists to prevent a +breaking struct change when braid geometry arrives. No mutation API +for `support_pins` exists in v1. + +### INV-S10 — Clean drop + +After `drop_strand`, no runnable heads for the child worldline MUST +remain in the `PlaybackHeadRegistry`. Drop is hard-delete: the +strand, its child worldline, its heads, and its provenance are all +removed. `get(strand_id)` returns `None` after drop. A `DropReceipt` +is returned as the only proof the strand existed. + +## Rationale + +Echo can fork worldlines via `ProvenanceStore::fork()` but has no +concept of the relationship between forked worldlines.
