Correct data, correct time

Concurrency, Ordering & Performance

Verify legal reordering, global visibility, fair arbitration, forward progress, and performance envelopes under sustained contention.

OoO consistency · QoS and fairness · Broadcasting

Replace FIFO assumptions with identity-aware models, dependency state, latency distributions, credit conservation, and liveness evidence.
