A promise can arrive before its reply.

Two requesters are waiting for a parcel. Their couriers must make the handoff, confirm it, and leave the spare alone—even when a reply gets lost and a request arrives again.

Exact recorded Rust habitats. Physical custody, acknowledgments and beacon service are checked separately. Scrubbing displays saved frames; your agent drives the local CLI.

Independent endpoints exchange two finite parcels, confirm custody and keep their services running.

Loading the recorded habitat…

A small promise with a complete history.

The reference courier begins at its destination, waits for a request, collects one parcel, and drops it at the depot. After observing empty cargo, it retains the physical receipt and acknowledges the handoff. A repeated request must not send it back for the spare.

This is a finite pair of one-shot commitments in one saved world. It does not establish a general messaging protocol, shared economy, or multiplayer service.
