 ### Response
 
 Returns a `data` array of dead-letter records. This endpoint is not cursor-paginated; it returns up to `limit` rows in one response.
 
+Send dead letters become `resolved` only after an authoritative worker or operator-confirmed send outcome is reconciled. Recovery does not resend mail: the original payload, error and attempts stay available for inspection. Unknown outcomes remain pending and held. A missing Sent-folder copy, reservation marker or executor marker is not proof that nothing was sent.
