-Next models to deepen fidelity:
+## v1++: additional bounded models (concurrency, retries, trace correctness)
-- Pairing store concurrency/locking/idempotency
+
-- Provider-specific ingress preflight modeling
+These are follow-on models that tighten fidelity around real-world failure modes (non-atomic updates, retries, and message fan-out).
-- Routing identity-links + dmScope variants + binding precedence
+
-- Gateway auth conformance (proxy/tailscale specifics)
+### Pairing store concurrency / idempotency
+
+**Claim:** a pairing store should enforce `MaxPending` and idempotency even under interleavings (i.e., “check-then-write” must be atomic / locked; refresh shouldn’t create duplicates).
+
+What it means:
+- Under concurrent requests, you can’t exceed `MaxPending` for a channel.
+- Repeated requests/refreshes for the same `(channel, sender)` should not create duplicate live pending rows.
+
+- Green runs:
+  - `make pairing-race` (atomic/locked cap check)
+  - `make pairing-idempotency`
+  - `make pairing-refresh`
+  - `make pairing-refresh-race`

+  - `make pairing-idempotency-negative`
+  - `make pairing-refresh-negative`
+  - `make pairing-refresh-race-negative`
+
+### Ingress trace correlation / idempotency
+
+**Claim:** ingestion should preserve trace correlation across fan-out and be idempotent under provider retries.
+
+What it means:
+- When one external event becomes multiple internal messages, every part keeps the same trace/event identity.
+- Retries do not result in double-processing.
+- If provider event IDs are missing, dedupe falls back to a safe key (e.g., trace ID) to avoid dropping distinct events.
+
+- Green:
+  - `make ingress-trace`
+  - `make ingress-trace2`
+  - `make ingress-idempotency`

+  - `make ingress-idempotency-negative`
+  - `make ingress-dedupe-fallback-negative`
+
+### Routing dmScope precedence + identityLinks
+
+**Claim:** routing must keep DM sessions isolated by default, and only collapse sessions when explicitly configured (channel precedence + identity links).
+
+What it means:
+- Channel-specific dmScope overrides must win over global defaults.
+- identityLinks should collapse only within explicit linked groups, not across unrelated peers.
+

+### Pairing store concurrency / idempotency
+
+**Claim:** a pairing store should enforce `MaxPending` and idempotency even under interleavings (i.e., “check-then-write” must be atomic / locked; refresh shouldn’t create duplicates).
+
+What it means:
+- Under concurrent requests, you can’t exceed `MaxPending` for a channel.
+- Repeated requests/refreshes for the same `(channel, sender)` should not create duplicate live pending rows.
+
+- Green runs:
+  - `make pairing-race` (atomic/locked cap check)
+  - `make pairing-idempotency`
+  - `make pairing-refresh`
+  - `make pairing-refresh-race`
+- Red (expected):
+  - `make pairing-race-negative` (non-atomic begin/commit cap race)
+  - `make pairing-idempotency-negative`
+  - `make pairing-refresh-negative`
+  - `make pairing-refresh-race-negative`
+
+### Ingress trace correlation / idempotency
+
+**Claim:** ingestion should preserve trace correlation across fan-out and be idempotent under provider retries.
+
+What it means:
+- When one external event becomes multiple internal messages, every part keeps the same trace/event identity.
+- Retries do not result in double-processing.
+- If provider event IDs are missing, dedupe falls back to a safe key (e.g., trace ID) to avoid dropping distinct events.
+
+- Green:
+  - `make ingress-trace`
+  - `make ingress-trace2`
+  - `make ingress-idempotency`
+  - `make ingress-dedupe-fallback`
+- Red (expected):
+  - `make ingress-trace-negative`
+  - `make ingress-trace2-negative`
+  - `make ingress-idempotency-negative`
+  - `make ingress-dedupe-fallback-negative`
+
+### Routing dmScope precedence + identityLinks
+
+**Claim:** routing must keep DM sessions isolated by default, and only collapse sessions when explicitly configured (channel precedence + identity links).
+
+What it means:
+- Channel-specific dmScope overrides must win over global defaults.
+- identityLinks should collapse only within explicit linked groups, not across unrelated peers.
+
+- Green:
+  - `make routing-precedence`
+  - `make routing-identitylinks`
+- Red (expected):
+  - `make routing-precedence-negative`
+  - `make routing-identitylinks-negative`
