# payload recording

## Verification Boundary

This database and service suite exercises payload recording. 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.
