ProcessJobStore and SubstrateStore already implemented the
loader-accepts-any-version-in-[1, kVersion] pattern. The other five
stores (ControlJobStore, CarrierStore, LoadPortStore, ExceptionStore,
SpoolStore) used strict `header[1] != kVersion` rejection, meaning
a future kVersion bump there would silently nuke every persisted
record on first replay. That's a footgun the test_persistence_upgrade
test already flagged as a tripwire.
This commit flips the strict checks to `< 1 || > kVersion`, mirroring
PJ + Substrate. No format change (kVersion stays at 1 across the
five stores), but:
- Future v2 of any store now Just Works: add fields at the end of
write_record_, bump kVersion to 2, gate the new reads behind
`if (version >= 2)`. Old v1 records on disk continue to replay
with the new fields defaulted.
- Future versions beyond kVersion still get rejected (downgrade
protection — older code can't try to decode trailers it doesn't
understand).
Comment blocks on each kVersion declaration now describe the upgrade
discipline so the next contributor doesn't reinvent it.
Test additions:
- Positive test that v1 ControlJob records load on current code
(will continue to pass when kVersion bumps to 2, proving v1 is
still readable)
- ExceptionStore rejects a v9 (future) record, matching CJ + Carrier
- The existing tripwire tests get retitled from "rejects unknown
version" to "rejects a future version" to reflect the new contract
README §6 gets honest: every store is now multi-version-aware, not
just PJ + Substrate.
