Candidate outcome

Fixed the duplicate write; 8 of 8 task checks passed.

Delivered An idempotent write, a regression test, and a handoff note.

Demonstrated strengths

  • Reproduced duplicate delivery before changing the persistence boundary.
  • Verified the supplied cases, including repeated delivery and timeouts.

Work risks

  • Production alert thresholds are still unspecified.

Evidence limits

Concurrency and long-running behavior need further testing.

Regression test

Reproduce the duplicate write.

tests/test_event_processor.py

deliver(event_id="evt-014")
deliver(event_id="evt-014")
assert count_rows(event_id="evt-014") == 1

# Before the fix: expected 1 row; found 2.
What the source supports
The test expresses the failure as an observable result: delivering the same event twice must create only one record.
What remains open
This excerpt covers repeated delivery. It does not establish behavior under every concurrent workload.
