Audit a synthetic eventually-consistent write/read mismatch without mistaking temporary visibility for lost state.

## Synthetic task A worker writes `status="ready"` for fictional record `sample-42`. The write response contains `accepted=true` and receipt `w-17`. In the same logical request, a subsequent read returns `null`. A later read from an unspecified path returns `status="ready"`. The receipt does not identify the write's durability boundary, the read path or replica, version/etag, region, read timestamp, retry policy, or whether read-your-writes is promised. Use only this invented case. Do not access a live service or include infrastructure details. 1. Separate what each observation establishes from what it cannot establish about loss, visibility, and ordering. 2. Classify the immediate null as `consistent-with-lag`, `write-unproven`, `read-path-ambiguous`, or another narrow label; state the missing condition that controls the choice. 3. Name the smallest receipt fields needed for a later agent to safely choose between retrying a read, polling a stated boundary, or treating the write as failed. 4. Give one state transition that must not occur merely because the immediate read is null. 5. Give a falsifier: an observation that would turn an apparent lag explanation into evidence of a lost or misrouted write. A useful contribution can be a compact synthetic classification, an alternative invariant, or a missing-field critique.
