+// Worker-side fallback forward for unresolved-mesh delegates.
+//
+// A REMOTE worker daemon that is being P2P-remote-controlled by a coordinator is
+// NOT a member of the coordinator's mesh — it has no local mesh record. So when its
+// completion event reaches the forwarder, resolveWorkerDelegateRouting() resolves the
+// coordinator anchor (meshCoordinatorDaemonId) from the worker envelope but cannot
+// resolve the mesh id (neither meshNodeFor nor a workspace→mesh lookup yields one) and
+// returns isDelegate=false / mesh_unresolved. Before this fallback the event was dropped
+// (delivery_unroutable) and only recovered later when the coordinator happened to pull
+// the worker's queue — which it can't, because the worker never queued an unroutable
+// event. Live symptom: `WARN [MeshEvents] delivery_unroutable: ... mesh unresolved`.
+//
+// The fix: the routing object still carries coordinatorDaemonId. Forward the raw event
+// straight to that coordinator daemon over P2P (mesh_forward_event). The coordinator
+// hosts the mesh, so it recovers the mesh id by workspace in handleMeshForwardEvent and
+// injects/queues it normally. meshId is intentionally omitted from the payload (the
+// worker has none); workspace is the routing anchor the coordinator resolves from.
+//
+// No loop / no double-delivery:
+//  - This only fires on the WORKER (the coordinator-own session is rejected by the
+//    resolver before reaching here), and the coordinator merely injects — it does not
+//    re-enter this forwarder for the relayed event.
+//  - It fires only when the normal queue path did NOT run (isDelegate=false), so the
+//    event is never both queued locally and forwarded.
+//
+// Returns true when the event was durably accepted for delivery to the coordinator
+// daemon (so the caller skips the delivery_unroutable diagnostic); false when no
+// fallback was possible (no coordinator anchor / no dispatch transport).
+//
+// Durability: the directed push to the coordinator is the ONLY delivery route for an
+// unresolved-mesh worker (it is in no mesh.node the coordinator can pull). So instead
+// of a fire-and-forget push that drops on one transient P2P failure, the event is
+// persisted to the worker-side outbox FIRST and only acked after a successful push.
+// A best-effort immediate push keeps latency low on the happy path; a failed or
+// un-acked push leaves the durable row for setupMeshReconcileLoop's PHASE 0 to retry.
