+-- DC.SimOwnsStore(db) -> bool
+--
+-- The ONE owner predicate for DC.store, and the question every scan gate
+-- asks -- never db.testMode alone. Both simulated modes replace the store
+-- with the simulated raid, and while either is on "real data never beats
+-- the simulation":
+--   * db.testMode  -- /dc test, persisted (DEFAULTS above)
+--   * DC.demoMode  -- /dc demo, transient (core/demo.lua)
+--
+-- Why it exists: the gates named db.testMode only, so a finished scan
+-- overwrote the sim store while demo mode was still armed. The demo
+-- expectation layer then graded the REAL raid against all six school
+-- protection columns (five of which ship with no seed entry at all): every
+-- raider grew fabricated MISSING cells, the banner vanished with the "sim"
+-- source that had been the only marker that this is a mode and not a
+-- measurement, and each row's whisper button went live against a real
+-- player.
+--
+-- Why HERE and not in core/demo.lua, where the mode lives: config.lua loads
+-- second, ahead of every gate that calls this, so the gates need no
+-- load-order guard -- and a demo module that fails to load can never take
+-- test mode's protection down with it (DC.demoMode is then simply nil).
+--
+-- db is optional; the fallback is for callers that do not hold one.
+-- Always returns a real boolean -- the gates invert it.
