Identify a prepared query for a binding that compares query identity. The
identity throws `UnhashableQueryIRError` for IR without a stable identity,
then the query's sources claim their Collection IDs. The binding's render
boundary releases the sync starts a rejected render deferred; see
`rejectLiveQueryInput`.
