Review of Task 2 (2026-09-06 outbound-calls plan): (1) an outbound step that
precedes the first chain step of its execution — the default Replay shape when
a run's ScriptTrace rows are absent — was orphaned or given a solid spawner
edge; leading async steps now hang off the spawner on Async edges and the
first non-async step gets the normal link. (2) IsAsync keyed on the first row
being CachedSubmit; it now mirrors the projector's sync rule (first row not
ApiCall/DbWrite) so a group missing its submit row still branches. (3) Same-
tick rows tie-broke by GUID; new LifecycleRank (submit < attempt < resolve,
non-terminal < terminal) makes first/latest attribution order-independent.
(4) DbSubtitle used GetInt32 (FormatException on out-of-range/fractional) —
now TryGetInt32, never throws. Also: External-lane edges never count as
central↔site crossings; DurationMs clamped; FlowStep doc updated.

ResolveKind maps ApiOutbound/DbOutbound/Notification to ApiCall/DbCall/Notify;
ResolveLane puts the three on FlowLane.External; outbound outcomes map
Delivered→Ok, Failed→Failed, Parked/Discarded→Parked, else Pending; subtitles
'{status} · sync|cached', '{op} · n rows' from a DbWrite Extra, '{status}' for
Notify. New FlowStepProjector.IsOutbound helper.
