`dispatchClaudeTurn` waits a bounded window for Claude to echo the uuid it
sent. On timeout the send returns `unknown` and the host records that on
the submission. The late replay IS matched — `resolveClaudeReplayWaiter`
finds the retired waiter and `recoverLateIdentity` repairs turn identity —
but nothing ever writes the journal, and the only other writer moves
`pending -> unknown`. So `unknown` was terminal.
That is load-bearing for the client. The outbox only drops an entry on
`dispatchState === 'accepted'`, so the entry never left, and three
user-visible defects followed from one stuck row:
1. "Message delivery is unconfirmed." appears ~12s into a mid-turn send
and never clears, even though the message was delivered and answered.
2. The banner's Retry sets `retryUnknown`, which bypasses the host's
replay-an-existing-submission guard and delivers the message to the
agent a second time.
3. Retry targets `outbox.find(entry => entry.state === 'unconfirmed')` —
the OLDEST stuck entry, not the message the user just typed — so a
click re-sends a message from much earlier in the session.
A user replay is Claude echoing the message, which proves delivery. Carry
the `clientMessageId` on the dispatch waiter, and when a retired waiter is
matched by a user replay, settle its submission `accepted`.
The notification is deliberately not gated on `dispatchSequence`: turn
identity must stay with the newer dispatch, but the older message still
provably landed.
`settleLateDispatch` only moves a row that is still `unknown`, so an
accepted or rejected submission is never rewritten, and it never
re-dispatches.
No wire shape change: `accepted` is an existing `dispatchState` that every
client already handles. This only makes it get written when it is true.
