+`SettingsService.getMany(namespace, keys, ctx)` resolves several same-namespace keys with at most two row loads instead of one per key (#10826) — env-overridden keys still answer without touching the store, and every key's value/source/lock/cascade deep-equals the per-key `get()` answer by construction (the cascade is extracted, not copied). `getNamespace` resolves through the same grouped path.

+ * [#10826] `getMany` — one grouped row load instead of one per key.
+ *
+ * `resolveLocalizationContext` called `get()` three times for one namespace,
+ * and each call ran `loadRows` over the whole namespace: three identical
+ * `sys_setting` reads inside one request (queries 16–18 of 24 on a live rig,
+ * PR #10824). `getMany` resolves N same-namespace keys with AT MOST two row
+ * loads (one per required `loadRows` argument — `user`-scoped keys read
+ * `(ns, userId)`, everything else `(ns, null)`).
+ *
+ * The contract pinned here is EQUIVALENCE: for every key, `getMany`'s answer
+ * deep-equals what per-key `get()` returns — same value, same source, same
+ * lock, same cascadeChain — across env overrides, scope mixes, and the
+ * unknown-key refusal. Plus the read-count contract itself, measured at the
+ * engine: same-scope keys collapse to ONE find, mixed scopes to TWO, and a
+ * fully env-overridden set to ZERO.
