The runtime pre-resolves target existence and validates a fully materialized prospective state before any event or side effect is committed. This adds bounded lookup and validation work to contracted writes, but it gives every write origin the same atomic behavior and prevents optimized paths from weakening the contract.
Formal verification uses bounded symbolic identity classes grouped by target entity type. The bound is derived from reference slots, parameter slots, and existing identities, so equality cases remain exhaustive within the finite model while avoiding an unbounded identifier domain.
