A pre-derivation projection gap needed one +narrowly governed repair path without weakening the ordinary consistency +refusal.

That preserves the +ordinary boundary instead of quietly replacing it. + +**A queue row cannot prove a consumer.** Once ownership moves, a surviving +endpoint must not keep promising pickup because its database state still has a +verb that sounds active.
