+"""The materialization walk (Feature 07 core).
+
+:func:`materialize` turns the schedule rules + custody presence of the
+active quest definitions into concrete ``quest_instances`` rows over a
+date range.  It is the pure walk over definitions x dates x assignees x
+windows; HA scheduling (day-rollover triggers) is a separate later
+task and lives elsewhere.
+
+The walk is deterministic and idempotent:
+
+- All inputs — the active definitions with their rules, assignees and
+  windows, AND the assignee children's presence schedules and scoped
+  overrides — are read inside ONE locked transaction (see
+  :func:`~.dao_rules.load_materialization_input`), so the walk sees a
+  single coherent snapshot rather than a definition state from one
+  instant and a presence state from another.
+- Presence is snapshotted into an immutable
+  :class:`~.presence.PresenceEngine` from that same coherent read.
+- For each date in the range, each definition whose decoded rule
+  :func:`~.recurrence.occurs_on` on that date, each assignee who is
+  ``is_present`` on that date and each declared window, one instance is
+  written through :class:`~.dao_instances.QuestInstancesDao.upsert_if_valid`
+  with a ``generated_at`` stamp shared by the whole batch (one coherent
+  time per run).
+
+A config change that lands AFTER the snapshot is read but BEFORE a
+tuple's write (an assignment removed, a definition or child deactivated,
+a window removed) makes that tuple SKIP rather than abort the batch:
+:meth:`~.dao_instances.QuestInstancesDao.upsert_if_valid` re-validates
+every materialization precondition (active definition, active child,
+live assignment, declared window, and its CURRENT ``due_time``) inside
+the SAME transaction as the INSERT, so the check and the write cannot be
+split by a racing config edit.
+
+The upsert is idempotent on (definition_id, child_id, due_date,
+window), so re-running the materialization over the same range never
+duplicates a row; a tuple whose instance is already completed is SKIPPED
+(never rewritten, never raised) by
+:meth:`~.dao_instances.QuestInstancesDao.upsert_if_valid`.
+
+Regeneration: a config or presence change must rebuild future instances
+so they track the new state.  :func:`regenerate_for_definition` covers
+definition edits / reassignment (Features 06/07); :func:`regenerate_for_child`
+covers a single child's presence change (Feature 09).  Both delete the
+affected open instances at or after today — never a completed instance,
+never the past — and re-run the walk over the rolling horizon
+``[today, today + horizon_days]`` (``horizon_days`` defaults to
+``DEFAULT_HORIZON_DAYS``).
+
+HOOK (Feature 09 presence services): the presence business layer that
+lands in Feature 09 MUST call :func:`regenerate_for_child` after EVERY
+presence-state write so a child's future instances track its presence:
+``set_presence_pattern`` (including clearing/setting an empty pattern),
+deleting/clearing the presence schedule
+(:meth:`~.dao_presence.PresenceSchedulesDao.delete`),
+``create_presence_override``, and ``delete_presence_override``.  A
+schedule delete changes presence state too (the child becomes
+always-present), so it must regenerate just like the others.  This hook
+is documented, not yet wired: no presence business layer exists yet, and
+the presence DAO (``dao_presence.py``) must stay free of business rules
+— never call :func:`regenerate_for_child` from inside the DAO layer.
