To resist lateral separation of an exterior wood deck from the dwelling during seismic or live loads, which connection is the BEST practice at the ledger-to-band-joist interface?

Code-recognized lateral load connectors (tension devices) tie the deck joists through the wall to the interior floor framing, directly resisting the deck pulling away. Ledger lag screws primarily carry vertical shear, not lateral tension; adhesive is not a rated structural connection; and toenailing alone is far too weak for lateral loads.
