Description

Implement the global repository implementations for the mail contracts. They replace legacy implementations when the migration establishes the durable cutover state.

Acceptance criteria
  • Every contract used by the #11440 inventory has a global implementation.
  • Implementations preserve the existing mail behavior without exposing persistence or legacy storage types.
  • Application composition switches all mail access to global implementations after cutover.
  • No production path uses dual reads, dual writes, or mixed routing after cutover.
  • Tests cover representative behavior before and after the switch.
