Fixes #808 (regression from #801): after a blocking fleet_send times out, an explicit fleet_reply for that turn landed in the inbox, and the later CB-106 completion-fallback scrape for the same turn landed a second time.

Fix. reply() now looks up the exact Rendezvous waiter strandLateResolution captured for the target (a new lateWaiters map, target -> that turn's CompletableFuture<Resolution>) and claims it via a new Rendezvous.resolveLateReply before falling back to publishing to the inbox. The discriminator is the waiter's own single-winner complete() call — per-turn by construction, since each send() opens a fresh CompletableFuture per turn. Whichever side (the explicit reply or the eventual completion scrape) resolves the waiter first wins; the loser's attempt is a no-op. CompletionResolver.resolve's existing waiter.isDone() guard then skips the scrape entirely once the waiter is already claimed, so nothing extra is ever read or published.

I deliberately avoided the banned discriminator (a sticky per-target boolean like strandedReplies) — that would also suppress a later, independent turn's legitimate completion on the same target. The per-turn waiter-identity race does not have that problem, since lateWaiters is overwritten with a fresh waiter reference on every new timeout.

Tests (MessageServiceTest):

  • anExplicitReplyAfterATimeoutLandsExactlyOnceNotTwice — reply direction: exactly one inbox entry, the structured reply.
  • theSuppressionIsPerTurnNotPerTarget — two turns on the same target: the first gets an explicit reply (its own late scrape stays suppressed), the second never replies and its scrape still lands exactly once.
  • The no-reply direction was already covered by the existing `aCompletionThatArrivesAfterTheCallerGaveUpLandsInTheInbox" test (#801), unaffected by this change.

Measured. mvn clean install from the repo root: BUILD SUCCESS, Tests run: 2246, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0. MessageServiceTest alone: 119 tests, 0 failures, 0 errors.

Scope: only MessageService.java, Rendezvous.java, and MessageServiceTest.java touched.

Fixes #808 (regression from #801): after a blocking `fleet_send` times out, an explicit `fleet_reply` for that turn landed in the inbox, and the later CB-106 completion-fallback scrape for the same turn landed a second time. **Fix.** `reply()` now looks up the exact `Rendezvous` waiter `strandLateResolution` captured for the target (a new `lateWaiters` map, target -> that turn's `CompletableFuture<Resolution>`) and claims it via a new `Rendezvous.resolveLateReply` before falling back to publishing to the inbox.

fleetd #808: a late fleet_reply claims its turn's waiter so the completion scrape cannot double-publish

A send that times out leaves its captured Rendezvous waiter open for the CB-106
completion fallback (strandLateResolution). If the member then calls fleet_reply,
reply() found no live waiter and queued the answer to the inbox, but never touched
that captured waiter — so the eventual completion fallback still resolved it and
published a second, redundant scrape of the same turn.

reply() now looks up the exact waiter strandLateResolution is tracking for the
target (lateWaiters, a new per-target index onto a per-turn CompletableFuture) and
claims it with Rendezvous.resolveLateReply before falling back to the inbox. The
CompletableFuture's own single-winner complete() is the discriminator: whichever
side resolves it first decides what the other sees. A later completion scrape
against an already-claimed waiter is a no-op in CompletionResolver.resolve's
existing waiter.isDone() check, so nothing is scraped or published a second time.
A turn that never gets an explicit reply is unaffected — its own waiter is still
open when the completion fallback fires, exactly as #801 already fixed.
