— ENGRAM_STORE unset: build a fixed graph, run a scripted
+ * sequence of activations WITH mid-sequence edge/node
+ * inserts, dump each activation's JSON to /off_actN.json.
+ * parity-on — ENGRAM_STORE=1: identical graph + identical sequence,
+ * dump to /on_actN.json. The runner asserts the off/on
+ * files are BYTE-IDENTICAL (same activated set, weights,
+ * ordering, hops, WM promotion).
+ * perf
+ * — build a large graph, then loop `iters` times doing
+ * (add 1 edge + activate). Prints wall-time and the M7
+ * instrumentation counters (rebuild calls / rebuild
+ * edge-work / incremental appends).

+ * and forcing the next activation to rebuild all O(E) adjacency lists from
+ * scratch. The result the BFS consumes is byte-identical to a full rebuild:
+ * - Edges are only ever appended to g->edges[], so their indices increase
+ * monotonically; appending in creation order reproduces the exact ascending
+ * edge-index ordering a rebuild's ei-ascending scan produces.
+ * - The same skip rule as rebuild applies: an edge with a NULL endpoint id
+ * contributes to NEITHER list.
+ * - Deletes/shifts (forget, prune, clear) still free the index and set
+ * adj_dirty=1, so any index-invalidating mutation falls back to a full
+ * rebuild. The append path only runs while the index is live and clean.
+ * Flag-off never reaches these helpers: the mutation sites call
+ * engram_adj_on_{node,edge}_added, which for flag-off simply set adj_dirty=1 —
+ * exactly the previous behavior, byte-for-byte. */
