One identity, many projections

The graph separates canonical server-confirmed entities, local-only patches, and ordered list membership. That separation is the mechanism behind cross-view reactivity—not a slogan or a naming convention.

Structure	Owns	Never owns
entities[type][id]	canonical entity data	view-local flags
patches[type][id]	optimistic and UI augmentation	server truth
lists[queryKey].ids	order, pagination, fetch state	copied entities

Queries are instructions to populate these structures. They are not durable containers for separate copies of application data. Read the full entity graph theory for data flow, consistency, and trade-offs.
