Local, remote, and hybrid views

A transport-agnostic filter can compile to a local predicate, REST parameters, GraphQL variables, or SQL. local mode filters a complete graph without I/O; remote forwards the instruction because local data is incomplete; hybrid projects current local results immediately while a service fetches the remote set.

Edit buffers stay outside the graph until save. Explicit optimistic operations write a patch together with the exact previous state needed for rollback. Confirmation replaces canonical data and clears the patch; failure restores the prior projection rather than guessing a compensating value.

Relationship schemas make invalidation traversable. When a foreign key changes, the store marks affected lists and related entities stale and follows reverse relations. Realtime sorted insertion uses binary search so a new entity can join a list without sorting copied entity objects.
