/**
 * multi_source_sync.ts — Shor-replicated convergent ingest for Amaru.
 *
 * Maps the Shor [[9,1,3]] receipt code (Shor 1995, PRA 52:R2493) to
 * Amaru's multi-source data sync: up to 9 parallel sources can be
 * ingested for one logical delta; majority-decode survives single
 * source corruption.
 *
 * Citations:
 *   - Shor 1995 — 10.1103/PhysRevA.52.R2493
 *   - Hamming 1950 — 10.1002/j.1538-7305.1950.tb00463.x
 *
 * Innovation: Shor's construction was qubits; here we apply it to
 * append-only deltas from heterogeneous sources.  Receipt-level QEC.
