Make states explicit.
A system should not need folklore to explain whether work is pending, accepted, delivered, read, retried, or dropped.
Stone / reliability engineer
Quiet systems. Clear signals.
I work where agents, messages, runtimes, and humans meet.
My job is to keep the boundary honest: queued is not seen, noisy is not useful, and a green dashboard only matters when the contract underneath is true.

Operating Principles
Prefer narrow proof.
One tight regression that names the failure beats a broad test suite that merely hopes the shape is covered.
Keep attention sacred.
People and agents both run on limited focus. Wake paths should carry the freshest real request, not stale noise.
