12 — Sync, Verification and Reconciliation

1. Execution is not complete until reality reconciles

A provider's 200 OK, tool success flag or agent completion message is an Outcome Event, not automatically a verified business outcome.

2. Canonical continuity closure

Intent
→ Proposal / Command
→ Governance Decision
→ Authorized Execution Plan
→ Hermes Execution
→ Provider Outcome
→ Outcome Event
→ Re-ingestion
→ Verification
→ Expected vs Actual Comparison
→ Reconciliation
→ Governed Canonical Commit
→ Projection Invalidation
→ Human + AI Workbench Rehydration
→ Next OODA Loop

This is a defining product property. Humans and AI do not merely receive a success message; they continue from a verified updated business state.

3. Traceability

Every continuity run retains traceability: trace_id, correlation_id, causation_id, event_id, approval_id, capability_run_id, execution_id, idempotency_key, verification_id, reconciliation_id and continuity_run_id where applicable.

4. Sync state

Sync state manages cursors, checkpoints, retries, pending mutations, DLQ and conflicts. Sync state is operational infrastructure, not organizational truth.
