   An ordinary ended review needs no cleanup from you and produces no further wake.
   Retire any other finished source with the adapter's `retire`, which stays safe and idempotent even for one that already retired.
   Retirement stops future completions; it is independent of acknowledging a result already captured, which only `handled` does.

 **Deliver feedback to the worker**
 
 - The captured result is stored with immutable task-owner routing evidence and delivered directly to that task's steering inbox, without a firstmate `check` wake for the captain's words.
-- Filing that steering note away is not acknowledging the round, so while the round stays open every reconcile puts a live note back in the owner's inbox rather than ringing a filed one.
+- The doorbell rings only when that idempotent write creates a fresh inbox record; filing the note into `handled/` is the worker's own acknowledgement of the delivery, so a later reconcile never moves an already-filed note back into the active inbox or re-rings its owner, and re-delivery of a note still open in the inbox is left to the steering inbox's own re-ring ladder.
 - A task-owned source with an unhandled capture is not relaunched, so delivery failure cannot consume a round and start another poll.
 - That record is the only ownership evidence there is, so while any captured round of it is unacknowledged every retirement path refuses - the runner's own terminal retirement and an explicit `retire` alike - and the refusal names the acknowledgement that releases it.
