1// nx_format_census.nx -- the NISHI SOVEREIGN FORMAT DOCTRINE census (operator 2026-07-01: "a full nishi ecosystem
2// approach to file formats -- consistent, scalable, s-class-exceed; census against other formats on where we are
3// and where we can win"). Measures OUR format family (nx_seg_store .docs + NXK1 index, nx_canon_cid content-
4// addressing, nx_uxf interop) vs the incumbents (SQLite/LMDB/RocksDB, Parquet/ORC/Arrow, Protobuf/Avro/Cap'n
5// Proto/FlatBuffers, CAS/Merkle/IPLD) on the axes formats actually compete on. Evidence-gated (a WIN/HAVE only
6// when the organ is on disk; no evidence -> GAP). Prints; NO log dump (data/results live in the sovereign store,
7// not loose files). Doctrine: ONE sovereign family + interop adapters at the boundary, applied EVERYWHERE.
