+    # The async-action lifecycle (issue #248): the machinery behind
+    # `reply.pending` — "mark these targets pending, let MY job settle them".
+    #
+    # ## Why this exists
+    #
+    # The endpoint runs an action inside a transaction and renders the reply
+    # THERE, while a queue adapter publishes on COMMIT. So any `reply.morph`
+    # after an enqueue renders from a database the job has not touched yet and
+    # is GUARANTEED to draw the pre-job world — rows still present, buttons
+    # still live, counts unchanged — next to a "Queued 177 transfers" flash the
+    # same reply emitted. Apps worked around it with a `queued:` kwarg threaded
+    # into every row component plus a second render branch; ~60 lines of
+    # identical bookkeeping per screen, and the page still never learned the
+    # outcome.
+    #
+    # ## The shape
+    #
+    # `reply.pending` does three things, in order:
+    #
+    #   1. mints ONE one-shot durable stream key for the whole call (see the
+    #      shared-key rule below) and builds a Handle describing the settle;
+    #   2. runs the caller's enqueue — a block, or the `job:`/`args:` sugar —
+    #      with that Handle in a thread-local, so EVERY ActiveJob enqueued
+    #      inside captures it through Phlex::Reactive::Settles#serialize;
+    #   3. records a Segment on the Response. The ENDPOINT turns it into wire
+    #      streams after the action's transaction committed (a rolled-back
+    #      action can never leak a directive).
+    #
+    # ## One key per call — a hard design rule
+    #
+    # A durable pgbus broadcast to a never-seen key calls `ensure_queue!` →
+    # `pgmq.create`, i.e. a REAL PGMQ table per key, reclaimed only by pgbus's
+    # hourly orphan sweep at a 24h threshold. A key per record would leave 177
+    # tables sitting for a day (and open 177 SSE connections). So all N settles
+    # of one `reply.pending` share ONE key and ONE subscription, anchored on the
+    # container component's id.
+    #
+    # Because the key is shared, a per-settle teardown would kill the
+    # subscription on the FIRST arrival. Teardown is therefore explicit — see
+    # Phlex::Reactive::Settle#finish? — and defaults to "finish when this call
+    # marked exactly one record pending".
+    #
+    # ## No pull fallback
+    #
+    # Unlike `reply.defer`, a settle has no `:fetch` lane: the client cannot
+    # poll "is the job done yet". So `reply.pending` needs the defer PUSH lane
+    # (Phlex::Reactive.settle_capable?). Without it, it DEGRADES rather than
+    # breaks: the enqueue still runs, no handle is installed (so
+    # `reactive_settle` no-ops exactly like a sweep-enqueued job), and NO
+    # pending markers are emitted — the UI shows the pre-job world, which is
+    # today's behavior, instead of a shimmer that could never resolve.
