ClockGroupSerializer — save/load facade for every clock in a ClockGroup. Produces one namespaced dict per clock combining time + age state. Per-clock dict shape (the legacy on-disk key is preserved at the top level for 1.x save migration — see TimeSnapshot): { "clock_id": , "time_state": {serialization_id, ...}, "age_states": {...}, "age_service_state": {...} } Top-level shape (id-keyed): { group.save_key: { : , ... } } Identity is clock_id, not array index. Saves written under the index-keyed form (rare, only from very early unreleased 2.0-pre dev builds) are tolerated via a fallback that materialises positional keys ("0", "1", …) for any dict lacking clock_id. Reordering clocks between save and load is safe — saves restore each clock's state into the clock matching the id, regardless of position in host.clocks. New saves always include clock_id. See docs/notes/multi-clock-save-identity.md for the rationale.
