"""Board storage + the outer research loop primitives.

A board is one research topic; its threads are rows in ``research_threads``
(never a board-level blob, so the background dig and user-seeded threads can't
overwrite each other). ``deepen_step`` runs ONE bounded trip on the shallowest
active thread (or an explicit one), merges with deterministic dedup, persists
immediately, and bumps the board ``revision`` so a polling client sees change.
