- From this structure several reusable inferences follow. Idempotency: if the holder might fire the handler twice, the handler must tolerate being run more than once, a hazard identical across deferred computation, duplicated standing orders, and at-least-once delivery.
This sourceTreats idempotency under at-least-once delivery — a handler that may fire twice must tolerate repetition.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The publisher abstract states messages may be retried and idempotence makes that OK, backing the retry-tolerance inference but not the cross-domain identity of the hazard.
“Messages may be retried. Idempotence means that's OK.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
