+### Owner-safe idempotency V2
+
+`idempotency.v2`는 V1의 scope-only `tryBegin/complete/discard`를 대체하는 additive contract다.
+provider가 JPA인지 Redis인지와 무관하게 claim에는 secure owner token과 stable operation ID가
+필요하고, 모든 mutation은 owner/attempt/claim-operation/state-revision을 검증한다.
+
+- processing lease와 completed replay TTL을 분리한다.
+- expired `CLAIMED`만 takeover하고 expired `EXECUTING`은 `RECOVERY_REQUIRED`로 닫는다.
+- complete/fail/release는 operation ID와 result digest가 같은 재호출만 prior result로 replay한다.
+- `SAME_STORE_TRANSACTIONAL` JPA profile의 response는 8 KiB 이하 inline 값만 지원한다.
+- raw principal/client key는 versioned HMAC scope digest로 바꾼 뒤 adapter에 전달한다.
+
+V1은 rolling migration compatibility를 위해 유지된다. 새 reliability profile이 V2 claim과 V1
+scope-only mutation을 섞는 것은 금지한다.

+- `NewOutboxEventV2`의 aggregate version과 deterministic ordinal이 ordering authority다.
+- `OutboxAppendPortV2`는 caller의 primary write transaction에 참여하고 publication epoch와
