// Obelisk Core package (see docs/adr/0003-core-typescript-esm-precompiled.md).
//
// The single shared implementation behind every transport. runtime.mjs (skill),
// and later the CLI and MCP server, are thin shells over these four functions;
// none of them re-implement retrieval or own the DB lifecycle.
//
// Authored in TypeScript with erasable-only syntax so Node can run it directly
// via type stripping in development, while the skill artifact ships the tsc
// output (Phase 6). The heavy internals (db/indexer/query) remain .mjs for now
// and are migrated in later phases; Core is the typed seam over them.
