ClusterNode hosts a BTreeMap<ShardId, Arc<ShardReplica>>: writes hash-route
to the owning shard leader, reads scatter over shard groups. In-group
shard==region preserved so the engine and tidal-net are untouched; S=1 stays
byte-for-byte (today's cluster is a 1-shard × RF=N group). Topology grows
shard-group awareness; membership, election, forward, reseed, and join_boot
thread ShardId through.
Proven by an in-process 2×2 RF=2 gRPC test plus S=1 parity, incl. tier-3
real-OS-process failover. clippy/fmt clean.
