Yeah, this was the big red flag for me too. If you're going to try to decouple things, the last thing you should do is add more coupling.

Just a quick mention that there is next to no coupling. If you don't use `primate/store`, none of the ORM code gets pulled in. You could be using any other database client.

The same applies to sessions, i18n, or any frontend. They're all either path'd imports or distinct packages.
