parththakkar106andClaude Opus 5 a7bf47a35e Let a backup carry a story that went two ways
A bundle had one list and a forked adventure has two stories, so export was
emitting every branch's turns interleaved by index — a mangled story rather
than lost data, and unreachable only because forking has no UI yet.
`ai-dnd-adventure-v2` carries the branches, the depth each one left its
parent at, which attempt at every turn is the story, and what each node
left behind. That last one is not decoration: the after-snapshots are what
a branch switch puts back, and a bundle without them imports a tree nobody
can switch inside.

`app/bundle.py` owns both formats and nothing else knows either. The v1
reader stays — those files are already on people's disks — and it is now
the only place a `variants` array exists anywhere.

The rule the module is built on is that a bundle carries what was chosen
and never what is derived. The head branch, the fork points, the live flags
and the anchors are decisions somebody made. The lineage, the head depth,
the legacy `index` and the variant ordinals are computed from those and are
rebuilt on the way in, because a bundle is a text file anybody can edit and
a derived field shipped beside its source is a chance for the file to
disagree with itself where no read would report it.

`index` is the one that stops being academic here. It agreed with `depth`
until SP5, and this is the first writer that has to fill it for a forked
story, where two branches both hold a node at depth 4. It is allocated one
per turn instead: siblings share it, no two coordinates do.

Everything a hand-edited file can get wrong about the shape of a tree is a
400 raised before the adventure row exists, because a half-applied import
is exactly the failure this phase exists to end — a story that goes quiet.
A file wrong about which attempt is live is corrected rather than refused;
that is an invariant of the database, not of the format.

Measured on the 600-action fixture: 587 kB to 911 kB, and all of the
increase is the outcomes at 489 B a node — the coordinates themselves save
57.5 B a node against the old turn-and-variants shape. Twenty forks add
660 B. 4.3% of the import body cap.

381 tests green, 16 of them new in test_bundle_v2.py. No migration, no
vacuum owed.

"""Phase 14 SP4 — a retry writes a sibling node instead of rewriting a row.
`test_retry_variants.py` is the behavioural contract, unchanged since before
the tree, and it still passes: the same URLs, the same payload shape, the same
outcomes. This file asserts the things that are *only* true of the new storage
— that a turn can be several rows, that exactly one of them is the story, and
that the arrangement costs neither an extra prompt nor an extra turn.
