Remote-service intent, dispatch and outcome

Separate user intent, policy authorization, dispatch receipt, device acknowledgement and verified physical outcome for approved remote services.

Name the source—and name what it cannot prove.

The same message can be observation, projection, plan, receipt or physical evidence. This contract keeps those meanings separate.

Authority

The connected cloud owns command lifecycle state; only an approved vehicle service supplies terminal physical outcome evidence.

Degraded behavior

Timeout, replay, ownership change, invalid vehicle state or missing acknowledgement remain uncertain or failed—never successful by assumption.

Outcome boundary

A request, HTTP response, queue receipt or TCU acknowledgement is not proof that the vehicle changed state.

Producer and consumer responsibilities are explicit.

A product can appear on both sides when it transforms one authority into another; each transformation retains its own evidence.

Choose transport after semantics are fixed.

The program can select one or more transports without changing the source authority or failure contract.
