A reactive client store for building super fast apps on sync

/**
 * Virtual Properties for TanStack DB
 *
 * Virtual properties are computed, read-only properties that provide metadata about rows
 * (sync status, source, selection state) without being part of the persisted data model.
 *
 * Virtual properties are prefixed with `$` to distinguish them from user data fields.
 * User schemas should not include `$`-prefixed fields as they are reserved.

 * Origin of the last confirmed change to a row, from the current client's perspective.

 * - `'local'`: The change originated from this client (e.g., a mutation made here)
 * - `'remote'`: The change was received via sync from another client/server
 *
 * Note: This reflects the client's perspective, not the original creator.
 * User A creates order → $origin = 'local' on User A's client
 * Order syncs to server
 * User B receives order → $origin = 'remote' on User B's client
