After snapshot restore, nodes were assigned fresh HLC timestamps instead of the stored values from the snapshot. Post-restore causal writes with legitimate successor HLCs were rejected as TimestampRegression, causing silent data loss in disaster-recovery and multi-node gossip scenarios. - Add _parse_hlc() for snapshot/wire HLC normalisation - Restore HLC on snapshot load and advance global _hlc - Pass HLC through bulk_write and gossip receive - Reject stale gossip updates; skip HLC-less updates on existing keys - Add regression tests for restore round-trip and gossip ordering Co-authored-by: Daniel <DJLougen@users.noreply.github.com>

Bug and impact
restore_from_file()andgossip.receive()did not preserve or apply Hybrid Logical Clock (HLC) timestamps introduced in v0.6.0. After disaster-recovery snapshot restore, nodes received fresh wall-clock HLCs instead of their stored causal timestamps. Legitimate post-restore writes and gossip updates with correct successor HLCs were rejected asTimestampRegression, causing silent data loss in backup/restore and multi-node gossip scenarios.Concrete trigger: Snapshot a node with
hlc=(5000, 10, "nodeA"), restore, then apply a causal successorhlc=(5000, 11, "nodeA")— rejected because restore assigned a fresh wall-clock HLC.Root cause
restore_from_file()rebuiltMemoryNodewithout reading thehlcfield from the snapshot and never advanced the global_hlc.gossip.receive()omittedhlcwhen callingremember().bulk_write()also dropped HLC from row payloads.Fix
