Outcome
A maintainer can read the IPC spec and correctly distinguish per-process Bridge admission from unmeasured cross-process behavior, without mistaking
dispatch/request.jsonfor the active request selector.What changed
dispatch/request.jsonas a retained compatibility artifact, not concurrency control.Why
The IPC spec said concurrent servers were serialized by the process-wide Bridge lane. That actor is shared only within one executable, so the documentation overstated the guarantee and obscured the evidence gap tracked by #216.
Validation impact
docsAcceptance journey
A maintainer follows the documented happy path, identifies the request ID passed through the OmniFocus URL as authoritative, and sees that behavior across independent
focusrelay serveprocesses remains unvalidated rather than guaranteed.Validation
