Acceptance cases to verify
1. Ordinary success: confirm the intended external action and store its reference.
2. Duplicate event: reuse evidence and allow one intended external action where duplicate protection applies.
3. Timeout after destination success: recover the existing result using evidence or documented protection; otherwise hold for review.
4. Two concurrent attempts: verify that local reservation and destination protection prevent a second intended effect in the protected case.
5. Resume after approval: preserve the approved content and parameters, and skip completed stages.
6. Replay after the destination's retention window: reconcile again or hold; do not assume expired protection still applies.
