-  perf/substrate reasons. 1 clean flow-based consumer today → Watching, not a proposal.
+- **Disposition:** `lib/flow` IS the abstraction (events proves it, commerce adopts it) →

+- **Flow-onboarding friction (light signal):** commerce's note logs real gotchas adopting

+  slow (budget ~540s like flow's own suite). If ≥3 subsystems hit the same onboarding
+  gotchas, that's a signal to smooth `lib/flow`'s adopter API — flow's concern, flagged here.
 - **Name-collision caveat:** `notify.sx` means two unrelated things — `feed/notify.sx` is
   a *read-side digest* (group inbox by verb+object), NOT delivery. Do not pair them.
