The visible on-disk ranges, in ascending order, exactly as handed to the projection.
STRICTLY ascending concatenated-set indices that
survived the visibility compaction, or null when
no compaction ran. Validated: a non-ascending list
is rejected rather than mapped to garbage.
Final visible element count; the returned map's length.
Modules.* value the fail-closed warnings are logged
under (the calling producer's module).
A count-long slot → on-disk map, or undefined when the identity
holds (slot IS the on-disk index) or the inputs are inconsistent —
in both cases callers fall back to the slot.
Map visible-buffer slots back to the ON-DISK element indices the per-element label CSR (
label_offsets/label_bytes) is keyed by.
