  "works": "Re-checked a different way: fresh offline build of the v0.1.0-rc.1 tag on PostgreSQL 18.6, driven over raw HTTP and hand-written MCP JSON-RPC instead of the SDKs. The tutorial's custom action verified end to end and a same-key replay returned the same operation. An independent edit between prepare and execute made the conditional write fail with no write; a server error after commit was reconciled to verified with exactly one write. Concurrency held: 25 parallel same-key executes gave one operation and one write, 20 different-key executes on one plan gave 1 accepted and 19 conflicts, and 15 parallel plans verified with no duplicates. Approvals (untested before) work: tier-3 plans wait, agents and operators can't approve, a wrong plan digest is refused, denied and expired approvals block. Grant revocation or expiry gives STALE_PLAN, out-of-scope actions are refused, and agents can't manage grants. CLI recipes (untested before): read-back verification, refused path escapes and odd names, verified snapshot recovery, and timeouts or waiting-for-input recipes fail with no change; a secret printed by a failing recipe did not appear in the API, events or logs. Task revisions, plan expiry (PLAN_EXPIRED, no write), restarts with a queued operation, clear JSON validation errors and the per-principal rate limit all worked. The MCP bridge listed 14 tools on two protocol revisions, found a queued operation after a restart, and passed injected instructions in an issue title back only as data.",
  "breaks": "Reproduced by a different route: the journal's protection covers updates only, not deletes. New: an operation whose data became visible after the check deadline stays completed_unverified and the worker does not re-check it (a manual verify was needed); 429 replies have no Retry-After and say fix_request although waiting works; editing one action's title in the adapter config changes the whole-config digest and fails another action's queued operation as STALE_PLAN (documented, safe, surprising); a second recover with a new key on an already-recovered operation is accepted; an expired approval returns plain APPROVAL_REQUIRED without saying it expired; a malformed grant body from an agent gets a schema 400 before the role check; MCP observe reports freshness unknown even with a version present; the best-effort conditional write variant failed in the repo's fixture; the limitations doc says the npm packages are unpublished, but 0.1.0-rc.1 is on npm.",
