test_cases:

      services-platform:modules/integrations/tests/integration/services/executions/dispatcher.integration.spec.js#publishes
      a queued dispatch and deletes its row once the queue accepted it
    provenance: test
  - source: >-
      services-platform:modules/integrations/tests/integration/services/executions/dispatcher.integration.spec.js#delays
      the message by what its not_before leaves, at most SQS’s 15 minutes
    provenance: test
  - source: >-
      services-platform:modules/integrations/tests/integration/services/executions/dispatcher.integration.spec.js#leaves
      a row the queue refused, for the next run
    provenance: test
  - source: >-
      services-platform:modules/integrations/tests/integration/services/executions/dispatcher.integration.spec.js#claims
      only as many rows as asked, and leaves the others to another dispatcher
    provenance: test
  - source: >-
      services-platform:modules/integrations/tests/integration/services/executions/dispatcher.integration.spec.js#resumes
      a waiting execution at admission when its message arrives
    provenance: test
  - source: >-
      services-platform:modules/integrations/tests/integration/services/executions/dispatcher.integration.spec.js#skips
      a redelivered message whose execution has moved on, calling no adapter
    provenance: test
  - source: >-
      services-platform:modules/integrations/tests/integration/services/executions/dispatcher.integration.spec.js#sends
      a message that arrived before its not_before on again with what is left

# dispatcher

## Verification Boundary

This database and service suite exercises dispatcher. Its registration records the executable definition; no run result is asserted.

## What This Suite Proves

The bindings identify the detailed outcomes asserted by this suite. Test-level evidence retains the individual checks, including cases where several suites contribute to one scenario.

## What It Does Not Prove

In-process execution does not establish deployed infrastructure or a real provider response. Several bindings can supply different parts of a detailed scenario; no single-file completeness is implied.

## Real Dependencies and Test Doubles

The suite definition identifies its database fixtures and replaced clients, hooks, clocks or executors. Integration runs use the prepared database; lifecycle runs exercise the in-process route or adapter path.

## Must Not Be Doubled

The database constraints, transactions and service behavior claimed by an integration binding must execute. Replaced external seams cannot establish live provider or infrastructure behavior.
