This architecture has several issues that could lead to data loss or corruption.
- Outcome/State: The system will transition from having pending operations P and Q, and revisions a, b, and c, to a state where P's receipt arrives. The system needs to define how the late receipt for P interacts with the already-resolved revision c and the new pending operation Q.
- Preserved Information: The system must preserve revisions a, b, and c, along with the identities of pending operations P and Q, and the fact that P was in flight. The receipt for P, when it arrives, must also be preserved with its associated operation identity.
- Recovery Action and Rejected Alternative: Upon receiving the late receipt for P, the system should update P's status to "accepted" but not reapply P's changes to revision c or Q. Blindly applying P's changes would overwrite the explicit reconciliation that produced c. Instead, the system should acknowledge P's acceptance and potentially flag that P's original intent was superseded by the reconciliation.
- Missing Contract or Clarification: The critical missing contract is the receiver's ancestry and precondition behavior. Without knowing how the receiver handles concurrent updates and what preconditions it enforces, it's impossible to guarantee that P's original intent wasn't already superseded on the server, or how the server would react to a re-submission of P after c was uploaded.
