- posts_request only drops SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS, but WordPress then treated the request as filtered and selected full post rows through a temporary table; split_the_query now keeps the ID-first split for routed searches when nothing else changed the request, and posts_request_ids drops SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS from the split ID query

- TMDO_Native_Restorer::run() gains a policy: overwrite (flat wins; the
default in aeav_only, where writes only reached flat and native is
stale) or only_missing (native wins, flat only fills gaps; the default in
every other mode, where native is the source of truth and may be newer —
on dev36 an aeav_only round trip overwrote WooCommerce stock 42 with 0).
CLI: --overwrite / --only-missing.
- Native values are read first and each owned key is classified as
missing / differs / same / default_skipped; unchanged values are no
longer rewritten. A flat value equal to its field default is not
written for an entity without a native row (dev36: 1,368 invented
session_count / account_flags rows). --dry-run reports the counts.

- dual_write / shadow_read no longer write flat in the update_/add_/
delete_{type}_metadata pre-filters, before WP decides whether native
changes at all. added_/updated_/deleted_{type}_meta (priority 1) call
TMDO_Hook_Bus::sync_from_native(), which copies the entity's first native
row (plain SQL, NULL when gone) into flat. Flat now follows native when WP
skips (same value), refuses (non-matching prev_value, add $unique on an
existing key) or deletes (also delete_all: touched IDs are collected from
the meta IDs in delete_{type}_meta), and a flat value left stale by a
direct SQL write heals on the next write.
- update_metadata_by_mid key changes: the old key is remembered in
update_{type}_metadata_by_mid and re-synced too.
- wpdo_after_write / wpdo_after_delete fire from the sync with the same
arguments; aeav_only keeps the pre-filter short-circuit unchanged.
- $internal_ops lock key includes the entity type (user 5 ≠ post 5).

- In shadow_read, TMDO_Hook_Bus::intercept_get() returned the flat value.
update_metadata() reads the old value through that filter after the Hook
Bus has upserted the new one, so WP saw old === new and never wrote native
meta: every update in shadow_read was lost on demotion (dev36 2026-09-26).
shadow_read now returns $check (native) and compares flat on a sample of
reads (filter tmdo_shadow_compare_sample_rate, default 0.1). aeav_only is
unchanged; the post query router still routes in shadow_read.

empty-key get_*_meta() and WooCommerce does the same for products (and

stay authoritative. Promotion to aeav_only is refused in
TMDO_Mode_Manager::set() (covers REST, CLI, phases, auto-promoter) for
post/user/term/comment with HivePress and post/user with WooCommerce;
TMDO_Post_Migration::cleanup() and the cleanup phase refuse too.

- retire() read native meta with wpdb::get_col(), which (via get_var())
returns null for an empty string, so a flat '' written back as '' was
counted as a mismatch and blocked the retirement. It now reads raw rows

aeav_only they skip update_metadata()'s own hooks, so query caches

post_date and skips GROUP BY. Otherwise the query keeps its old shape.
