   D06 // relay / feeding / ingestion // source-v1 // 2026-07-28

   Subject: the three operations that are routinely collapsed. All feeding occurs
   through relay; not every relay is feeding. Ingestion is the recipient-side state
   that RESULTS when a feed succeeds — it is not a proactive election by the surface,
   and it is not a disposition.

   The envelope, not the payload, determines operative force.

   Repo prose is source of truth: docs/source-of-intent.md §Inbound handoff TBI marker. */
