+### W8 · Durable outbound delivery (at-least-once + idempotency + retry)
+- **Live exemplar on `lib/flow`:** `events/lib/events/notify.sx` — reminders/digests are
+  durable `flow`s: a flow `request`s delivery (suspend point), the **host** performs the
+  send via an injected `dispatch` transport, then resumes with the outcome; flow's
+  deterministic replay means a completed delivery never re-runs on recovery. At-least-once
+  with an idempotency key per message. This is "reliable delivery" done right on the flow
+  substrate.
+- **Others roll their own:** `fed-sx` built its own outbox + `delivery_worker` + retry
+  bookkeeping (Steps 8a–d); `mod/fed.sx` has an in-memory outbox seam; `acl/federation`
+  propagates facts. Same *goal* (reliable outbound delivery, retry/idempotency) on
+  different machinery.
+- **Disposition:** durable delivery is exactly what `lib/flow` is *for* (events proves
+  it). Watch whether fed-sx / mod converge their outbox onto flow, or stay bespoke for
+  perf/substrate reasons. 1 clean flow-based consumer today → Watching, not a proposal.
+- **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.

 ### W7 · Snapshot/projection-checkpoint reimplemented vs `persist/snapshot` (delegate)
 - `persist/lib/persist/snapshot.sx` already provides a **generic** projection checkpoint:
