Optional_MongoDB ObjectId (undefined until saved).
The publisher's durable templatePath (a stored identity string).
The optional long-form MML body.
Canonical id; unique-indexed at the collection level.
Created timestamp (set on construction).
Expiry time, epoch-ms; 0 = never expires.
The short MML one-liner.
Editorial classification (default notice).
Whether this sticks to the top of the window.
Publish time, epoch-ms (set at publish).
Which broadcast realm this belongs to (default ooc).
Soft-delete flag: kept in Mongo, excluded from the live window.
Last updated timestamp (set on every save).
StaticcollectionCollection name (must be overridden in subclass).
StaticpersistentDelete this object from MongoDB.
Unlike the former Persistable.delete, there is no
StuffApi.destruct cascade — a Document is not registered, so there
is no runtime instance to unregister.
ProtectedfromLoad data from a MongoDB document into this object.
Symmetric to toDocument: marshallers transform their assigned
fields' raw values via fromStored before bracket-assign hits the
runtime setter.
ProtectedgetGet all persistent fields for this class (mixin + own declarations).
ProtectedgetWhether this bulletin has expired as of now (epoch-ms).
ProtectedpreloadPre-warm the marshaller cache for this instance's class via the async
resolver. Static counterpart Document.preloadFieldMarshallersFor is used
by the findById / find paths.
Save this object to MongoDB. Updates updatedAt automatically.
Pre-resolves any registered field marshallers via the async resolver
before the sync toDocument walk; the sync resolver lookup inside
toDocument then always hits a populated cache.
ProtectedtoConvert this object to a plain document for MongoDB.
Marshallers (declared via static fieldMarshallers on a mixin or
class) intercept their assigned fields: the runtime value-object
value is passed through marshaller.toStored before being written
into the doc. Fields without a marshaller pass through bracket-read
unchanged.
StaticfindFind documents matching a query. Same construction story as findById.
StaticfindFind a document by MongoDB _id. Returns null if not found.
Construction is a plain new this() — the returned instance is NOT
registered with StuffApi and is NOT proxy-wrapped. Two calls for the
same id return two distinct instances (value semantics).
StaticpreloadStatic-context preload helper. Used by findById / find where
there's no instance to call preloadFieldMarshallers on yet, and
by Template._materialize for the same reason. Symmetric with the
protected instance method.
StaticsetWire the marshaller-resolution seam once at boot (and in tests).
Keeps Document free of a StuffApi import while still reaching
the Idea-rooted marshaller instances. sync mirrors
StuffApi.findByTemplatePath (returns the registered instance or
undefined); async mirrors StuffApi.singleton (resolves /
lazy-clones the instance, warming the cache sync then hits).
Base for MongoDB-backed records. NOT in the Stuff hierarchy.
