-   *
-   * MUST NEVER throw into ingestOnce: every failure path (memory lookup, the

-   * in `fastPathFailed`, and logged at most once — WITHOUT the turn text or
-   * the model's reply (only the channel/message id, never conversation
-   * content, reaches stderr).
-   *
-   * Dedupe: `fastPathSeen` is keyed by messageId so a redelivered/duplicate
-   * InboxEntry (e.g. after an ack race) never fires the fast LLM — and never
-   * double-sends — twice for the same turn. The `fastReplyId(...)` send
-   * id is itself also deterministic, so even a duplicate call that slipped past the
-   * in-memory dedupe (e.g. a process restart) resolves to the same envelope
-   * message id rather than a second spoken reply.
-   *
-   * Room token reservation (controller ruling): `send()` charges the shared
-   * `room:<channelId>` bucket (see `enforceRateFloor`) for any non-DM
-   * channel. A fast-path ack spent from the SAME bucket could starve the
-   * runtime's own reply moments later, so the CALL SITE (the ingestOnce text
-   * branch) only calls `runFastPath` at all when the bucket has at least 2
-   * tokens available — one earmarked for this ack, one reserved for the
-   * runtime's reply — and, critically, decides the buffered turn's guidance
-   * text using that SAME decision. That decision must not be re-made (and
-   * cannot silently diverge) here: `runFastPath` itself no longer touches the
-   * room bucket at all, it only handles messageId dedupe and the LLM/send
-   * mechanics. See the call site's `fastPathRoomBlocked` for the skip +
-   * `fastPathSkipped` counting.

+   * Pure: it changes no state; the caller commits a plan (markFastPathSeen,
+   * counters) only after the turn is durably staged.
+   * - "dup": this turn already went through the fast path (a redelivery);
+   *   it is neither spoken again nor handed to the runtime again.
+   * - "skip": no fast path; the runtime gets the turn with plain guidance
+   *   (mode `off`, no fast client, or the reply queue is full).
+   * - "ack": the turn certainly goes to the runtime (mode `ack_only`, or the
+   *   deterministic pre-check in `full`): `line` is spoken first.
