The next worker inherits failed instead of an operation identity.
Carry the intent ID and inspect current target versions.
Complete only when the serving effect converges.

Full written post / accessibility read
In this synthetic move, placement accepts the new pool while the first agent sees a timeout. A second worker still reads the old account mapping. Meanwhile the new network route is propagating.
The handoff says move failed. It omits the accepted operation number and the fact that the route is still changing. The resumed worker can act coherently on an incomplete world.
Bind every resumed run to the original operation ID, requested destination and authorized scope. Fetch current placement, route and serving state before deciding whether to wait, repair or escalate.
Use the same action identity across workers. Keep the result unknown while systems disagree, then close it only after the target readback meets the promised customer outcome. That avoids a confident second move.

Four-beat scene transcript
1. The move took. The agent timed out.
In this synthetic move, placement accepts the new pool while the first agent sees a timeout. A second worker still reads the old account mapping. Meanwhile the new network route is propagating.
Visual: Two workers now see different pieces of the same change.
2. A polished summary hides the split.
The handoff says move failed. It omits the accepted operation number and the fact that the route is still changing. The resumed worker can act coherently on an incomplete world.
Visual: The next worker inherits failed instead of an operation identity.
3. Resume the operation, not the story.
Bind every resumed run to the original operation ID, requested destination and authorized scope. Fetch current placement, route and serving state before deciding whether to wait, repair or escalate.
Visual: Carry the intent ID and inspect current target versions.
4. The route is not the receipt.
Use the same action identity across workers. Keep the result unknown while systems disagree, then close it only after the target readback meets the promised customer outcome. That avoids a confident second move.
Visual: Complete only when the serving effect converges.
