Really good catch — you are right that a hard claimed state can turn a crash into a silently lost event. Treating claimed as a lease with claimed_at, and letting a retry take over when it is stale, is the cleaner fix. Same for failed if the run dies before it can write that status. A small scheduled sweep of claims older than the lease is a great operational safety net. I will fold that into a follow-up. Thanks for writing this up so clearly.
Glad the invoice dispute example landed — that was the moment it stopped being abstract for me too. Skipping the customer email on v1 felt conservative, but it is exactly what keeps we are working on it from becoming we emailed them twice. Keeping claimed and succeeded as separate states is a small design choice that saves a lot of embarrassment. Appreciate you reading it so carefully.
