REQ-068: Reconcile ambiguous continuity commits before dependent actions

Requirement

Windows provisioning shall reconcile an ambiguous continuity commit before authorizing dependent mutation or releasing a success receipt.

Rationale

A lost response can follow an actual commit, so a client cannot safely infer either success or failure from a timeout.

Fit Criterion

Until the exact transaction is independently proven committed or definitely closed without commit, report UNKNOWN and treat affected obligations as blocking. A verified commit may already have resolved an obligation; recover its exact historical receipt without overwriting newer authority state or treating it as fresh readiness. An absent record, a later conflict alone, or a request that may still be in flight does not establish failure.

Verification

Planned, TEST-068; TEST-056 still requires independent current-boot proof.
