1//! Exactly-once / idempotent delivery primitives.
2//!
3//! The pipeline issues a monotonic **commit token** for every page that carries
4//! a bookmark. The token is persisted in the [`StateStore`](crate::state::StateStore)
5//! value next to the bookmark and committed inside the sink's own transaction,
6//! so a crash between "sink durably wrote" and "state persisted" is resolved on
7//! resume by skipping pages the sink already committed. See
8//! `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-09-exactly-once-delivery-design.md`.
