Status: OUT
The read path bears maximum responsibility (deferred consistency, lazy computation, active repair, tombstone interpretation) and accumulates maximum risk (temporal correctness gaps, TOCTOU windows), yet the testing strategy is co-designed to verify structural properties that are already safe by construction — making the architecture's most critical surface its least verified.
Read path carries maximum responsibility + temporal gaps are in the testing blind spot
