Deterministic structure
Every keyed site records its slot, parent, children, key policy, collection source, selector, and source range.

KEY · OWNER · LIFETIME
Own every row.
Keep every node.
Keyed collections now cross one explicit source boundary with deterministic parent, child, component, state, ref, handler, and binding ownership.

WHAT CHANGED
Make ownership explicit.
Leave the DOM alone.
Complete membership
Recursive local and imported rows retain every specialization, including stateless intermediate components.
State and ref provenance
Row states and refs retain their declaration source and exact component-specialization owner.
Owned generated code
Keyed commands, handlers, effects, expressions, conditions, and calculated bindings point back to their block.
Byte parity
Complete site output and seven representative keyed fixture trees match 0.8.19.
Same identity
Build-time rendering still owns final IDs, while retained keys preserve DOM, state, refs, and effects exactly as before.
UPGRADE
Keep the keys. Make ownership visible.
