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 builds directly on B19's idempotency work; compensation without idempotency is unsafe.

What it has to produce

Clean up correctly when something has already gone wrong. Price what failure actually costs, a metric almost nobody measures.
