Overall this looks very good! Treat my comments as suggestions, nothing more. (I may have messed up submitting the comments together with the approval.)

means a contract can only interact with the outside world via messages and only
manipulate its own state.

Been a while since I've used snail mail, but, I believe I would put the letter in my own mailbox, then the postal service picks it up to put it in the other person's.

Kinda a nit, since the point is more about addresses and messages than delivery - but when adding messages in contracts, we don't actually add the message directly to the other contract either - we add it to our Response object, and then it's picked up and delivered to the destination, so I think it would fit better overall to describe it this way.

Dang, okay, I hit the merge button a little too quickly. Yeah, good point, I'll have a look over the wording again and make a separate PR for that.

But how does that fix reentrancy? In CosmWasm, you can only send out messages at
the end of a contract execution as part of the response. This ensures you have
already written everything to the state, meaning your state is in a consistent
state.

"meaning your state is in a consistent state" is clever, but, could be confusing... maybe something like "meaning your state cannot be changed under your feet mid-execution", or something like that, e.g. explicitly point out the problem it's solving?
