TPS 5.7  THE LOCK
purpose: the lock page; acquisition by base-revision edit and its
         written fields; the save hook; the grant number as fencing
         token; heartbeat; one lock, never nested
governs: 5.7 | version: 0.1.0 (proposed) | class: instruction artifact
audience: operator, agent

5.7.1  One lock page per container, on the wiki; acquired by
       base-revision edit; a TPX save hook refuses an acquisition out of
       queue order or before expiry; the grant number is a fencing token
       checked by TPX's landing API; heartbeat extends a lock to at most
       24 h; petitions queue in revision order; identifier ranges are
       leased; one lock at a time, never nested (D14, D32). The mutex
       holder is the sole allocation authority for the container's
       identifier mark. [I-081]
5.7.2  Acquire by an edit carrying the base revision ID that writes
       holder account, grant number (previous plus one), grant time, and
       expiry, all in server time; a failed edit means another holder.
       [B-12]
5.7.3  Heartbeat edit every few hours extends expiry, never past 24
       hours from grant. [B-12]
5.7.4  Handover: an ordered petition queue on the collaboration page,
       ordered by the wiki's revision order of the petition edits; on
       release the head of the queue acquires; the others wait on the one
       ahead; if the head has not acquired within the ACQUISITION WINDOW,
       the next waiter may (see 5.8, 7.2). [B-12] [I-132]
5.7.5  Coworkers receive a leased identifier range per assignment. A
       release is valid only after a final push, in that order (see
       5.10). [B-12] [I-084]
5.7.6  The lock page is written by AI-LEAD, by AI-CO when head and in the
       window, and cleared by H-OP with an audit line (see 5.13). [I-102]
