 then record **Effect confirmed** to continue without replay or **Effect absent**
 to enable a deliberate retry. Instance, trigger-delivery, and timer leases show
 which runtime currently owns transition authority across hosts.
+For Core module lifecycle, the installer run record supplies the operation id.
+Treat `recovery_required` and `outcome_unknown` as a deployment-wide stop: verify
+the hashed package/database evidence, complete the declared rollback or forward
+repair, and reconcile the operation before another install or live graph change.
+The local installer lock is not a substitute for this database fence.
