 # Go Cart Actor
 
+## Migration Notes (Ring-based Ownership Transition)
+
+This release removes the legacy ConfirmOwner ownership negotiation RPC in favor of deterministic ownership via the consistent hashing ring.
+
+Summary of changes:
+- ConfirmOwner RPC removed from the ControlPlane service.
+- OwnerChangeRequest message removed (was only used by ConfirmOwner).
+- OwnerChangeAck retained solely as the response type for the Closing RPC.
+- SyncedPool now relies exclusively on the ring for ownership (no quorum negotiation).
+- Remote proxy creation includes a bounded readiness retry to reduce first-call failures.
+- New Prometheus ring metrics: 
+  - cart_ring_epoch
+  - cart_ring_hosts
+  - cart_ring_vnodes
+  - cart_ring_host_share{host}
+  - cart_ring_lookup_local_total
+  - cart_ring_lookup_remote_total
+
+Action required for consumers:
+1. Regenerate protobuf code after pulling (requires protoc-gen-go and protoc-gen-go-grpc installed).
+2. Remove any client code or automation invoking ConfirmOwner (calls will now return UNIMPLEMENTED if using stale generated stubs).
+3. Update monitoring/alerts that referenced ConfirmOwner or ownership quorum failures—use ring metrics instead.
+4. If you previously interpreted “ownership flapping” via ConfirmOwner logs, now check for:
+   - Rapid changes in ring epoch (cart_ring_epoch)
+   - Host churn (cart_ring_hosts)
+   - Imbalance in vnode distribution (cart_ring_host_share)
+
+No data migration is necessary; cart IDs and grain state are unaffected.

+// Compact CartID implementation using 64 bits of cryptographic randomness,
+// base62 encoded (0-9 A-Z a-z). Typical length is 11 characters (since 62^11 > 2^64).
+//
+// Motivation:
+//   * Shorter identifiers for cookies / URLs than legacy padded 16-byte CartId
+//   * O(1) hashing (raw uint64) for consistent hashing ring integration
+//   * Extremely low collision probability (birthday bound negligible at scale)
+//
+// Backward Compatibility Strategy (Phased):
+//   Phase 1: Introduce CartID helpers while continuing to accept legacy CartId.
+//   Phase 2: Internally migrate maps to key by uint64 (CartID.Raw()).
+//   Phase 3: Canonicalize all inbound IDs to short base62; reissue Set-Cart-Id header.
+//
+// NOTE:
+//   The legacy type `CartId [16]byte` is still present elsewhere; helper
+//   UpgradeLegacyCartId bridges that representation to the new form without
+//   breaking deterministic mapping for existing carts.
+//
+// Security / Predictability:
+//   Uses crypto/rand for generation. If ever required, you can layer an
+//   HMAC-based derivation for additional secrecy. Current approach already
+//   provides 64 bits of entropy (brute force infeasible for practical risk).
+//
+// Future Extensions:
+//   * Time-sortable IDs: prepend a 48-bit timestamp field and encode 80 bits.
+//   * Add metrics counters for: generated_new, parsed_existing, legacy_fallback.
+//   * Add a pool of pre-generated IDs for ultra-low-latency hot paths (rarely needed).

+// Consistent hashing ring skeleton for future integration.
+// --------------------------------------------------------
+// This file introduces a minimal, allocation‑light consistent hashing structure
+// intended to replace per-cart ownership negotiation. It focuses on:
+//   * Deterministic lookup: O(log V) via binary search
+//   * Even(ish) distribution using virtual nodes (vnodes)
+//   * Epoch / fingerprint tracking to detect membership drift
+//
+// NOT YET WIRED:
+//   * SyncedPool integration (ownerForCart, lazy migration)
+//   * Replication factor > 1
+//   * Persistent state migration
+//
+// Safe to import now; unused until explicit integration code is added.
+//
+// Design Notes
+// ------------
+// - Hosts contribute `vnodesPerHost` virtual nodes. Higher counts smooth
+//   distribution at cost of memory (V = hosts * vnodesPerHost).
+// - Hash of vnode = FNV1a64(host + "#" + index). For improved quality you
+//   can swap in xxhash or siphash later without changing API (but doing so
+//   will reshuffle ownership).
+// - Cart ownership lookup uses either cartID.Raw() when provided (uniform
+//   64-bit space) or falls back to hashing string forms (legacy).
+// - Epoch is monotonically increasing; consumers can fence stale results.
+//
+// Future Extensions
+// -----------------
+// - Weighted hosts (proportionally more vnodes).
+// - Replication: LookupN(h, n) to return primary + replicas.
+// - Streaming / diff-based ring updates (gossip).
+// - Hash function injection for deterministic test scenarios.
+//
