Delivery storage uses pending for queued work or scheduled retries, leased for an active attempt, delivered for acknowledged success, permanent for a nonretryable rejection, exhausted for the end of a bounded policy cycle, and canceled for explicit cancellation. Manual retry is limited to terminal failures or canceled work and can duplicate a previously accepted notification.

Replay reports whether retained evidence verifies, differs, or is unavailable; unsupported or malformed evidence is never presented as verified. Read full inspection semantics.
