`bug_participant-count-stays-at-zero` described a failure that no longer exists
and an open question that turned out to be the same failure seen from the other
side. It becomes `caveat_participant-count-one-connection-lag`, and the type
change is the point: what remains is a bounded delay whose cause sits entirely
outside the application, not a defect this repo can act on.
Gone from it: the multi-inbox race, "never converges", and the withdrawal
asymmetry recorded as unexplained. That asymmetry WAS the race — with one inbox
per document both paths now share the identical one-connection lag, so nothing
is left unaccounted for.
What it says now: the count needs one connection more than the write that
produced it, because the layer does not notify you of your own actions — a
deposit into an inbox you watch raises no push, and a write to your own document
is not re-read in the writing session. Both measured, both raised with the
provider, and neither compensated here: a retry or a poll is precisely what the
doctrine forbids.
Repaired alongside: the leaves that still described DELETE-then-INSERT, the
materializer's old shape, and the probe cookbook's tally of open defects. The
two new primitives are recorded where the shared utilities are listed, marked
unit-tested.
