1. \* hl:data — NEED EVALUATION, the one implementation every realm edge uses.
3. A component's need is a member whose initializer calls a provider class
4. (SPEC.md §9.2); the graph publishes each as { key, provider, method, args,
5. project }. Evaluating one is: resolve the arguments against the caller's
6. context — a folded constant, a `$group` route parameter, or a `session`
7. field — call the provider method, and take the projected field. hl:web did
8. this per request and per push; hl:ipc does it per peer push. It lived in
9. hl:web until the second edge existed (2026-09-01), which is when "shared"
10. stopped being a word and became this plugin. *\
12. \* Every need of one component, against the provider instances of the calling
13. edge. One memo per evaluation: two needs fed by the same call cost ONE call. *\
14. runNeeds(
15. Hybrid needs \\ the graph's need list for the component
16. &providers \\ class name → provider instance (the edge module's)
17. &params \\ route groups; {} for a peer that matched no route
18. &sdata \\ the session bag; {} for a peer with no session
19. ) {

23. out[need.key] = runNeed(&need, &providers, &params, &sdata, &memo)
24. }
25. return out
26. }
28. \* One need: the value its MEMBER holds. `need.project` is the field taken off
29. the returned hybrid ("" = the member IS the return value). A provider read
30. answers for null arguments (the 074 contract), so an anonymous caller
31. evaluates the same needs and simply sees nothing of anyone. *\
