 // BatchDependentStore is an interface that defines methods for managing batch dependent information in the database.
+//
+// A BatchDependent is a reverse index ("batches that depend on me") paired one-to-one with a Batch.
+// The batch-creation flow always calls Create here before creating the Batch itself, so every active
+// Batch is guaranteed to have a corresponding BatchDependent row. Lookups via Get are only performed
+// for batch IDs returned from the active-batch set, meaning a missing row indicates data corruption or
+// out-of-band manipulation rather than a normal "not found" outcome. ErrNotFound is therefore part of
+// the contract for completeness but is not expected to be returned in steady-state operation.

 	// Get retrieves the batch dependent by batch ID.
-	// Returns ErrNotFound if the batch dependent is not found.
+	// If the batch contains no dependents, the returned BatchDependent will have an empty Dependents list.
+	// Returns ErrNotFound if the batch itself is not found, which should never happen in steady-state system and
+	// therefore does not need a special handling.
