The journal in #144 deliberately leaves lost acknowledgements unresolved. Propose an operator-led authenticated readback flow that can establish matching inclusion without turning timeout or an unsigned negative lookup into permission to resubmit.

This is an informative design-only draft on current main. It specifies conservative unknown states, archival and transactional reconciliation boundaries, and future positive/negative/crash/concurrency cases. It asks maintainers to choose the readback API, identity/key-rotation policy and retry contract before implementation. No runtime files from #144 are included; no witness is contacted, no automatic retry or deployment is enabled, and #144 is not closed.

Validation: manually checked against #144's exact-bytes/trust-policy identity and documented limitations; git diff --check passes. No executable behavior changed, so no runtime test result is claimed. AI-assisted with Codex; DCO signed.
