//! | `validation` | ids, parts and metadata checked at ingress |
//! | `continuation` | which context and task the message belongs to |
//! | `admission` | in-flight rejection and the event-queue lease |
//! | `eviction` | the stale-token sweep and the token insert |
//! | `create` | the initial task, its request context, the store write, the inline push config |
//! | `execute` | the spawned executor and the guard that releases its resources |
//! | `decisions` | the pure predicates the phases above decide with |
