Prioritize stale webhook state writes

A stale display can wait; a stale cancellation, access change, or fulfillment transition may require immediate review. Prioritize by state consequence, affected resource scope, and evidence for ordering. Keep a broad ordering fix behind proof that the contract and consumers share the same rule.

Decide where the work belongs

  1. Map state consequence

    For each reversal, record resource, old and new state, event IDs, side effect, and current owner. Separate a visible ordering issue from a durable transition. Keep the exact comparison that shows which event was older or ambiguous.

  2. Compare containment

    Assess rejecting stale versions, pausing a transition, reading current resource state, or reviewing one resource. Record recovery and concurrency limits. Do not sort by receipt time alone when sender order is not guaranteed.

  3. Set ordering queue

    Queue irreversible stale writes and shared handlers first, then ambiguous equal-time events and display-only reversals. Set owner, fixtures, review time, and evidence threshold. If resource version is missing, prioritize identity and current-state readback.

What to carry forward

Return an ordering queue with state effect, competing events, confidence, containment, owner, and reconciliation proof. Escalate irreversible regressions. Keep rank provisional when sequence or current state is unavailable. Keep stale transitions behind current-state evidence for now.

Use a Work Item in Aglet to record the problem, the evidence you have, and the next decision. Add an owner and priority, then keep updates in the discussion so the next person can follow the reasoning.
