Class ChronicleApi

The owner-scoped reader — the only reader v1 ships (no MQL provider). Returns [] without a durable owner key or when disconnected.

The always-append primitive. Builds a ChronicleEntry from fields and saves it. Renders text via ProseApi when a template is given; otherwise stores fields.text verbatim. No-op without a durable owner key or an active connection.

Convenience over record for deeds: forces kind: 'deed', so when defaults to the game-time witness (WorldClockApi.getNow()) when omitted and text renders from template via ProseApi. Keeps the "deed text via ProseApi" + "timestamp is the witness" contract at one seam.

Category-first idempotent mint: the first entry under key (for this owner) wins; later calls no-op. The find-then-save-on-write-path mirror of the belief upsert (a read on the write path only).

Char-gen helper: mint kind: 'claim' prologue entries (each with its order, when: null, and authored text) from the chosen aspiration. A named seam, kept distinct from the bio seed.
