 the trigger against the retained event ledger and settles that same turn, even
 if the user has already answered the interaction. It replays retained accounting
 through the ordinary control-plane observers without starting another model turn.
+When a later heartbeat run reuses the provider session, it clears that prior
+run's wait marker along with its terminal, result and pending-request authority.
 A timeout, missing accounting, or an unproven provider terminal remains a failure;
 the saved wait does not certify successful provider execution.
