What
The inline read and write handling for artifact databases, including argument checks, output-directory containment and per-document saving, no longer sits in the artifact tool's action dispatcher. The capability itself is intact: its error strings and permission checks still ship. Where the executing copy now lives is not visible.
Evidence
db_op and collection are required for action
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
