test(sync): add canary test for entity type coverage

Add safeguards to prevent silent failures when new entity types are
added without proper registration:

- Add canary test that fails if EntityType union grows but test arrays
  aren't updated (verifies count matches expected 20 types)
- Create developer checklist at docs/ai/adding-new-entity-type-checklist.md
  documenting all required changes when adding new entity types

+# Adding New Entity Types Checklist
+
+This checklist ensures new entity types integrate properly with the operation log and sync system.
+
+## When adding a new entity type:
+
+### 1. Type Definition (`src/app/core/persistence/operation-log/operation.types.ts`)
+
+- [ ] Add to `EntityType` union (line ~15)
+
+### 2. Entity Registry (`src/app/core/persistence/operation-log/entity-registry.ts`)
+
+- [ ] Add entry to `ENTITY_CONFIGS` with:
+  - `storagePattern`: 'adapter' | 'singleton' | 'map' | 'array' | 'virtual'
+  - `featureName`: NgRx feature key
+  - `payloadKey`: Key used in sync/import payloads
+  - Appropriate selectors for the storage pattern:
+    - **adapter**: `selectEntities`, `selectById`, `adapter`
+    - **singleton**: `selectState`
+    - **map**: `selectState`, `mapKey`
+    - **array**: `selectState`, `arrayKey`
+    - **virtual**: just `payloadKey`
+
+### 3. Test Arrays (`src/app/core/persistence/operation-log/entity-registry.spec.ts`)
+
+- [ ] Add to `REGULAR_ENTITY_TYPES` array (line ~17) OR `SPECIAL_OPERATION_TYPES` if special
+- [ ] Add to appropriate category array:
+  - `ADAPTER_ENTITIES`
+  - `SINGLETON_ENTITIES`
+  - `MAP_ENTITIES`
+  - `ARRAY_ENTITIES`
+  - `VIRTUAL_ENTITIES`
+- [ ] Update expected count in canary test (look for `expect(ALL_TESTED.length).toBe(...)`)
+
+### 4. Meta-Reducers (if entity has relationships)
+
+- [ ] Add cascade delete logic in appropriate meta-reducer under `src/app/root-store/meta/task-shared-meta-reducers/`
+- [ ] Register meta-reducer in `META_REDUCERS` array in `src/app/root-store/meta/meta-reducer-registry.ts`
+
+## When adding bulk actions:
+
+Bulk actions operate on multiple entities atomically. Required setup:
+
+- [ ] Set `isBulk: true` in action meta
+- [ ] Use `entityIds` array (not single `entityId`)
+- [ ] Ensure action has `isPersistent: true` and correct `entityType`
+
+Example:
+
+```typescript
+updateTasks: (taskProps: { tasks: Update<Task>[] }) => ({
+  ...taskProps,
+  meta: {
+    isPersistent: true,
+    entityType: 'TASK',
+    entityIds: taskProps.tasks.map((t) => t.id as string),
+    opType: OpType.Update,
+    isBulk: true,  // Required for bulk operations
+  } satisfies PersistentActionMeta,
+}),
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+```bash
+# Check the modified files
+npm run checkFile src/app/core/persistence/operation-log/entity-registry.ts
+npm run checkFile src/app/core/persistence/operation-log/operation.types.ts
+
+# Run the entity registry tests
+npm run test:file src/app/core/persistence/operation-log/entity-registry.spec.ts
+```
+
+## Why this matters
+
+The operation log system depends on hardcoded registries to:
+
+- Convert actions to operations and back
+- Apply remote operations during sync
+- Handle cascade deletes atomically
+
+Missing or incomplete registrations cause **silent failures** - operations may not replay correctly on other devices.
