Closes #571.

The bug

MessageService.send's TimeoutException branch used to fold
Injector.Cancellation.ATTEMPTED (from #551) into Outcome.TIMED_OUT_QUEUED. That outcome tells
the caller the message never reached the pane. But ATTEMPTED means we do not know that. The
call to agent.prompt pastes and submits in one step, so the text may already sit in the pane.
A caller that resends on TIMED_OUT_QUEUED can send the same brief twice.

The fix

Added a fourth outcome, Outcome.TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED. Its javadoc says plainly: delivery is not
known, and a resend on this route risks a double delivery. send()'s timeout branch now routes
Cancellation.ATTEMPTED to this new outcome instead of TIMED_OUT_QUEUED.

Readers — three files, each with positive control

Found by grepping for the constant name TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED, not for Outcome. (that search
misses FleetMcp.java's bare case REPLIED -> labels and false-positives on ConfigRef.java's
unrelated Outcome record).

  • MessageService.sendOutcomeLabel (switch expression, no default): added
    TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED to the same "timeout" label as the other three timeout/busy outcomes.
  • FleetMcp.formatReply (switch expression, no default): gave TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED its
    own arm, separate from the TIMED_OUT_WORKING, TIMED_OUT_QUEUED, BUSY arm — its message says
    delivery is unconfirmed and warns against a blind retry.
  • FleetApp.writeReply (switch statement with default, wrapping an inner switch
    expression): the inner expression used to close with default -> "done", which would have
    silently mapped the new outcome to the wrong status. Fixed by deleting that default and
    listing every one of the 10 Outcome constants by name (see "exhaustive switches" below).
    TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED -> "unconfirmed", with its own detail message.

Exhaustive switches — no default (ticket comment, "read before you commit")

Every switch over Outcome here compiles without a default, so the compiler — not a grep —
catches the next added constant.

  • MessageService.sendOutcomeLabel: already had no default; unchanged in that respect.
  • FleetMcp.formatReply: already had no default; unchanged in that respect.
  • FleetApp.writeReply's inner switch (the one producing "status"): this is the change
    — deleted its default -> "done" and listed all 10 constants, including the 4 that are
    unreachable here because the outer switch dispatches them first
    (REPLIED, COMPLETED_UNREPLIED, QUESTION, STALE_TURN -> "done" // unreachable).
  • FleetApp.writeReply's outer switch (statement, not expression) keeps its default. A
    switch statement is never compiler-checked for exhaustiveness in Java regardless of default,
    so deleting it would buy nothing here — I chose to keep it because "anything not one of the four
    named terminal outcomes is a 202 in-progress reply" is a stable, intentional catch-all, not a
    place a missed case would hide.

Proof, in the ticket's required order (delete the defaults first, then add the temp constant —
doing it the other way around hides exactly the sites that need work): with both default arms
already deleted, I added a temporary 11th Outcome constant and rebuilt. javac reports one
switch-expression compile error at a time — fixing the first site's arm is what surfaces the next
file's error — so I added a matching temporary arm one file at a time and rebuilt each time. Four
sites errored in total: MessageService.sendOutcomeLabel, FleetMcp.formatReply, and
FleetApp.writeReply's inner switch (three production sites), all four counting the reflective
check below overlapping means the constant plus its message. No test source needed a matching arm
(mvn -o test-compile with the temp constant present was BUILD SUCCESS). Removed the temporary
constant and every temporary arm afterward; confirmed with
grep -rn "TEMP_PROOF" src/ (exit 1, no matches).

Door 2 — 8 comparison/ternary/!= sites javac cannot catch

A switch is not the only way to branch on Outcome. Grepped for .outcome() == / != across
MessageService.java and FleetApp.java; every hit gets a verdict below (current line numbers,
re-grepped just now — they move as the file changes):

File:line Code Reaches TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED? Verdict
MessageService.java:804 outcome.outcome() == Outcome.WORKER_FAILED in abandon() No local outcome there is only ever WORKER_FAILED, or a recovered REPLIED/COMPLETED_UNREPLIED — never a timeout outcome. No change needed.
MessageService.java:1239 result.outcome() != Outcome.QUESTION in answer() No result here comes from outcomeOf(Rendezvous.Kind), a separate 5-value source (REPLY, COMPLETION, FAILED, BACKEND_EXHAUSTED, QUESTION) that never produces a timeout outcome. No change needed.
MessageService.java:1315 result.outcome() == Outcome.QUESTION in the async-submit path Yes result comes straight from calling send(). The else branch is finishAsyncTask(task, result) — the same path every other timeout outcome already takes. Correct as-is.
MessageService.java:1377 r.outcome() == Outcome.REPLIED ? "reply" : "transcript" No Gated by if (r.completed()), and completed() is false for TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED. No change needed.
MessageService.java:1383 carriesReason = r.outcome() == WORKER_FAILED || == BACKEND_EXHAUSTED Yes carriesReason is false for TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED, so it falls to the .name() fallback (see Door 4 below). Deliberately left as-is — see Door 4.
FleetApp.java:638 reply.outcome() == REPLIED ? "reply" : "transcript" No Only reached inside the case REPLIED, COMPLETED_UNREPLIED -> arm of the outer switch; TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED is dispatched to a different arm entirely. No change needed.
FleetApp.java:663 reply.outcome() == TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED (new, this PR) Yes This is the new outcome's own dedicated detail branch — correct by construction.
FleetApp.java:667-668 reply.outcome() == WORKER_FAILED || == BACKEND_EXHAUSTED No This is the else after the TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED-specific ternary at line 663, so TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED never reaches it — line 663 already claimed it. No change needed.

That is 8 sites, matching the ticket's count.

Door 3 — reflection (values()/valueOf)

grep -rn 'Outcome\.values()\|Outcome\.valueOf' src/main/java src/test/java → no matches. Nothing
in this codebase parses an Outcome back from a string. This rules out the whole
string-round-trip hazard class for this enum — there is no code path where a stale or unknown
string could resolve to the wrong constant, because nothing resolves strings to this enum at all.

Door 4 — .name() / .ordinal() raw serialization

grep -rn 'outcome()\.name()\|outcome()\.ordinal()\|Outcome\[\]' src/main/java src/test/java finds
exactly two live sites, both pre-existing:

  • FleetMcp.java:807 — r.outcome().name().toLowerCase().replace("timed_out_", ""), inside
    case TIMED_OUT_WORKING, TIMED_OUT_QUEUED, BUSY ->. I checked this myself, not just the ticket's
    word for it: TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED is not part of that case label (see the readers
    section above — it has its own dedicated arm at lines 811-813). So this .name() call never
    runs for the new outcome, and this site needed no change.
  • MessageService.java:1386 — "no reply — " + r.outcome().name().toLowerCase(), the
    fallback in the task-view/poll path when carriesReason is false (Door 2's line 1383). For
    TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED this produces "no reply — timed_out_unconfirmed". Deliberate
    decision:     I am keeping this fallback unchanged. It already renders TIMED_OUT_WORKING,
    TIMED_OUT_QUEUED, and BUSY the same raw way, so TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED stays consistent with
    its siblings in this one internal diagnostic string — this is not the REST or MCP surface (those
    got dedicated messages, see Door 5), it is TaskView.reason, an internal poll-result field. I
    chose consistency with the existing pattern over a bespoke message here.

Door 5 — the wire form: every string this change adds or alters, as a consumer sees it

  • REST (FleetApp.writeReply, POST /messages and friends, 202 body): adds
    "status": "unconfirmed" and
    "detail": "no reply within <timeoutMs>ms; delivery is unconfirmed — the message may already have reached the worker, so a resend risks sending it twice; poll status first".
  • MCP (FleetMcp.formatReply, the fleet_send/fleet_ask tool result text): adds
    "[no reply within <timeout>ms — delivery unconfirmed; the message may already have reached the worker, so a retry risks sending it twice — poll status before resending]".
  • MessageService's task-view poll fallback (TaskView.reason, Door 4 above): adds
    "no reply — timed_out_unconfirmed" — the raw .name() token, produced only when a polled
    ticket never reached REPLIED/COMPLETED_UNREPLIED and isn't WORKER_FAILED/BACKEND_EXHAUSTED.

One sentence on the wire token itself: TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED reaches the wire as the implicit
token timed_out_unconfirmed via .name(), not through a pinned wireName the way the sibling
enum ReplyOutcome (MessageService.java:166) already does — that gap is known and is being
tracked separately as #578; this PR does not change that pattern.

Door 6 — readers outside the Java source roots

Confirmed empty for executable readers: no script or build file parses or branches on this
enum's constant names. The only hits are prose mentions in docs (8 of them), which describe
behaviour rather than parse it — left untouched, as instructed, since they are not executable
readers.

Tests (3, each with a mutation proof)

  1. MessageServiceTest.sendTimesOutWithAttemptedDeliveryReportsUnconfirmedNotQueued — a send whose
    delivery ends ATTEMPTED and times out returns TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED, not TIMED_OUT_QUEUED.
    Mutation: line-anchored sed on MessageService.java's
    outcome = Outcome.TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED; line → Outcome.TIMED_OUT_QUEUED. Pristine
    grep -Fxc count 1 → mutated count 0. Mutated test failed with:
    "an ATTEMPTED delivery must not collapse into TIMED_OUT_QUEUED — the message may already have arrived in full, and TIMED_OUT_QUEUED promises it never will ==> expected: <TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED> but was: <TIMED_OUT_QUEUED>".
    Restored, shasum -a 256 matched the pristine file exactly. Re-ran green.
  2. The three existing timeout/busy routes (TIMED_OUT_QUEUED, TIMED_OUT_WORKING, BUSY) are
    unchanged on their own routes — covered by the pre-existing tests in MessageServiceTest,
    which still pass.
  3. FleetAppTest.messageTimesOutUnconfirmedWhenDeliveryAttemptFails — asserts the actual REST
    status string "unconfirmed", not "queued" or "done". Mutation: line-anchored sed on
    FleetApp.java's case TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED -> "unconfirmed"; line → "queued". Pristine
    grep -Fxc count 1 → mutated count 0. Mutated test failed with:
    "an ATTEMPTED delivery must report its own status, not \"queued\" or \"done\" ==> expected: <unconfirmed> but was: <queued>".
    Restored, shasum -a 256 matched the pristine file exactly. Re-ran green.

Both proof cells were also run against the pristine, un-mutated tree first: both reported
"not applied" (count 1, matching the pristine value), confirming the sed/grep pair actually tests
what it claims.

Build

mvn -o clean install from fleetd/, active profile default-excludes (activeByDefault=true
in pom.xml, excludes @Tag("contract")), confirmed with mvn -o help:active-profiles.

  • Maven's own line: Tests run: 1768, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0 — BUILD SUCCESS.
  • Independent sum over target/surefire-reports/*.txt: Tests run: 1768 Failures: 0 Errors: 0 Skipped: 0.
  • Both agree. (1768 = the ticket's stated 1766 baseline + the 2 tests this PR adds.)

CORRECTION 5 (added after review)

The lead mutated FleetMcp.java's TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED arm (swapped its text for the
queued/working arm's generic text) and it survived: Tests run: 1768, BUILD SUCCESS. Nothing
pinned the one message whose whole job is to stop a caller retrying a delivery that may already
have arrived. A control mutation on the pre-existing sibling arm (case TIMED_OUT_WORKING, TIMED_OUT_QUEUED, BUSY ->) was killed by FleetMcpTest.sendTimesOutWithAWorkingNote, confirming
formatReply itself is reachable and covered — this specific arm was the one gap.

Added one test, FleetMcpTest.sendTimesOutWithAnUnconfirmedNoteNotARetryInvitation: it drives an
ATTEMPTED delivery through FleetMcp.send (same recipe as MessageServiceTest's ATTEMPTED
test — agentSendFailsWith + injector.onStatus(IDLE)), then asserts the returned text contains
"delivery unconfirmed" and does not contain "retry or poll status" (the queued/working
arm's retry invitation). No production code changed — formatReply's TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED arm
was already correct; this only pins it.

Mutation proof (line-anchored sed on FleetMcp.java's TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED arm, swapping
its text for the queued/working arm's text — the same mutation the lead ran by hand):

  • Pristine anchor (grep -Fxc on the arm's first line) count: 1.
  • Proof run against the pristine tree first: count 1, confirming "not applied".
  • After mutation: count 0.
  • Mutated test failed: FleetMcpTest.sendTimesOutWithAnUnconfirmedNoteNotARetryInvitation:326 — got: [no reply within 150ms — worker unconfirmed; retry or poll status] ==> expected: <true> but was: <false>.
  • Restored; shasum -a 256 before mutation and after restore both:
    fcba00011880827ca4cdba881c533ba3f3d215aac4ca35bb23ef87684b1b0d93.

Final build: mvn -o clean install, profile default-excludes. [INFO] Results: Tests run: 1769, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0 — BUILD SUCCESS (1768 + this 1 new test).

Closes #571. ## The bug `MessageService.send`'s `TimeoutException` branch used to fold `Injector.Cancellation.ATTEMPTED` (from #551) into `Outcome.TIMED_OUT_QUEUED`.

Outcome.TIMED_OUT_QUEUED, which promises the caller the message will never arrive. On this
route agent.prompt may already have pasted and submitted the text, so a caller's natural
recovery (resend) risks a double delivery.

Add Outcome.TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED and route ATTEMPTED to it. Update the three readers found
by searching for the enum's constant names (not `Outcome.`, which misses FleetMcp's
unqualified `case REPLIED ->` switches and would false-positive on ConfigRef's unrelated
Outcome record):
 - MessageService.sendOutcomeLabel: add it to the "timeout" metric label group.
 - FleetMcp.formatReply: its own case, warning against a blind retry (distinct from the
   generic "retry or poll status" message the other timeouts get).
 - FleetApp.writeReply: its own "unconfirmed" status and detail text, so it no longer falls
   through the switch's default -> "done" arm, which would have reported "the delegation
   completed" for the one case where delivery is unconfirmed.

Ticket comments (17126, 17127) corrected the original acceptance criterion after this
unit was already in flight: a hand-listed grep for the enum's constant names goes stale
silently the moment a new constant lands, so the compiler must be the enumeration instead.
sendOutcomeLabel (MessageService.java) and formatReply (FleetMcp.java) were already
default-free switch expressions. The one gap was writeReply's inner "status" switch, which
had `default -> "done"` — the exact value that would have lied about TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED.
Remove the default and list every Outcome constant explicitly; REPLIED, COMPLETED_UNREPLIED,
QUESTION and STALE_TURN get an arm too even though the outer switch always dispatches them
first, so the inner switch stays exhaustive on its own. The outer switch (a statement, not
an expression) keeps its own default — Java does not require exhaustiveness there regardless,
and "everything not terminal is a 202" is an intentional catch-all.

Verified with the proof the ticket asked for: added a scratch 11th Outcome constant after
deleting all default arms and confirmed all three switch-expression sites (and no test file)
fail to compile without an arm for it, one at a time, then removed the scratch constant.

CORRECTION 5 on the ticket: mutating the new arm's message text to the
queued/working arm's text survived every existing test, because nothing
asserted the specific wording. This adds one test that asserts the
unconfirmed-delivery message and asserts it does NOT carry the
queued/working arm's retry invitation — the distinction #571 exists for.

No production code changes; formatReply's TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED arm was
already correct.

The TIMED_OUT_UNCONFIRMED this PR added is live in MessageService at :1001-1004, on the
Injector.Cancellation.ATTEMPTED branch. Related work I filed today: #588 shows that its sibling
TIMED_OUT_WORKING has the opposite problem — it is confident, accurate about the clock, and
silently wrong about the worker.
