outline
This is an outline, not a result.
Nothing here has been built. It states what the block is for, what it has to produce and what would make it a failure, so that the claim can be checked against the result later. Written 2026-09-01, and it will change.

Why this block exists

Scheduled here because it comes this is the genuine prototype-to-production gap and your second self-identified skill gap. It needs stateful multi-step work with side effects, which Surface Zero has had since B11.

What it has to produce

Survive crashes and duplicate events without doing damage. Give the durability work a real consequence to protect.
