-- porch/middleware/idempotent.wo — idempotency, actor-run.
-- Iteration 1 of the porch track, porch-store task 4.
--
-- Rebuilt, not patched: the old before/after shape ran the handler and
-- stored the response afterward, so two simultaneous duplicates both
-- missed and both executed — before() has nothing to find until after()
-- runs, which is too late for the request that is racing it. The fix is
-- that the ACTOR runs the handler: Idempotent wraps the route's own
-- Handler and hands both the request and that handler to the pool. A
-- duplicate for the same key then simply waits in the actor's mailbox
-- (one message at a time) and is dequeued once the owner's receive has
-- already committed the row — no in-flight heuristic needed, because
-- there is no window where a duplicate can see "nothing yet".
--
-- `call`'s reply is a copyable scalar only (WO-E226): keypool.wo's kind-2
-- arm answers with the SAME pool_pack(count, remaining_ms) encoding kind-1
-- uses, never the response itself. The response travels through the
-- @table instead — the actor stores it, this file reads the same row
-- back and builds the Resp from it, so owner and duplicate answer with
-- byte-identical bytes structurally, not by careful bookkeeping.

-- Idempotent wraps a route's Handler. Registration: Idempotent { key_header:
-- "Idempotency-Key", pool: p, inner: CreateOrder {} } in place of the bare
-- handler in app.post(...). Only the digest allowlists content-type for
-- replay (never Set-Cookie, never Date) — cookies arrive in porch 2.
