Maps the 31-module plan onto the registry's 19 leaves as packages; the two edges the registry forbids (provider->httpclient, inbox->messaging) are replaced by application-owned ports. See docs/notification/module-mapping.md. Acceptance is not delivery: ProviderSubmissionResult refuses to carry a delivery outcome, and AMBIGUOUS is a first-class terminal state that blocks automatic retry and fallback until reconciliation resolves it. Providers: SES (SigV4 + SNS callback), Twilio (X-Twilio-Signature + reconciliation), FCM (FID-primary batch), APNs, Web Push (RFC 8030/8291/8292), SMTP and webhook. Contact points are AES-256-GCM encrypted with a separate HMAC lookup fingerprint; nothing raw reaches a log, metric tag or exception. Dispatch commits the attempt row, calls the provider with no transaction open, then records the outcome; the durable queue uses FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED.

Notification support matrix
What each channel can actually prove, and what the platform refuses to claim.
Channels
| Channel | Reference implementation | Grade | Strongest evidence the platform records by default |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMTP, Amazon SES API | Stable | Provider acceptance; recipient mail-server delivery, bounce and complaint when the provider publishes events | |
| SMS | Twilio Programmable Messaging | Stable | accepted/queued, sent, and carrier-DLR delivered/undelivered |
| Mobile push (Android and cross-platform) | FCM, FID-first with legacy registration token compatibility | Stable | FCM acceptance and explicit failures |
| Mobile push (Apple) | APNs HTTP/2 provider API | Stable | APNs acceptance |
| Web Push | RFC 8030, RFC 8291, RFC 8292 | Stable | Push-service acceptance; user-agent acknowledgement only where the service offers receipts |
| In-app inbox | Own database | Optional stable | PERSISTED, SEEN, READ |
| Webhook | HTTP client platform | Extension | Whatever the receiving HTTP contract states |
Evidence levels
NONE → PLATFORM_QUEUED → PROVIDER_ACCEPTED → NETWORK_OR_CARRIER_ACCEPTED →

In-app read endpoint, authenticated app receipt |
USER_READ |
Promotions the platform will not make, in code or in configuration:
- FCM send success is not
DEVICE_DELIVERED. - An APNs 2xx is not
DELIVERED. - An SES
MessageIdis notDELIVERED. - An SMTP
250is not inbox delivery.
Submission outcomes
NOT_SUBMITTED, CONFIRMED_ACCEPTED, CONFIRMED_REJECTED, AMBIGUOUS.
AMBIGUOUS is a first-class stored state, not an error path. It means the request body was committed
to the provider and the outcome could not be read. While an ambiguous attempt exists on a recipient
delivery, automatic retry and automatic cross-channel fallback are both blocked.
Not supported
The platform will not claim any of the following, because no channel above can support them:
- guaranteed delivery
- guaranteed read
- exactly-once human notification
- unconditional multi-provider failover after an unread response
- provider SDK types in the public API
- audience selection, campaign segmentation or jurisdiction rulings
Target model
FCM_FID is the primary mobile push target. FCM_REGISTRATION_TOKEN_LEGACY and
APNS_DEVICE_TOKEN are separate types with separate lifecycles; they are never flattened into one
string field.
