- The nonce naming an ephemeral (4xx/5xx) row is handed to exactly one
call() reply and nowhere else -- no other message can ever construct
that key, so idempotent.wo deleting it right after building the Resp
is safe by construction (unlike the earlier shared bare-key row,
which a second message COULD reach and made deleting it racy)
- Closes the leak AND a real correctness edge: the nonce is
time.ticks() % 1_000_000_000, wrapping every ~1000s -- with rows kept
forever, a later failed attempt on the same key could land on the
same nonce and either collide with the unguarded insert or resurface
a stale replay, exactly what rounds 1/2 removed
- Gate leg 18f: N ephemeral attempts against the same key must return
IdempotencyKey's row count to baseline, not grow it by N -- confirmed
failing (baseline+N) against the pre-fix code, passing after
- N picked at 3: the pre-existing runtime hang/segfault (out of scope,
being tracked separately) reproduces more often at higher sequential
insert+delete volume against the same key; 3 stayed clean across
many runs while still proving the property precisely
