FACT: The examined cycle kept local reminders in the client, planning in a bounded link service, and remote transport behind a separate notification-control boundary. INFERENCE: Decoupling preserves useful local behavior and limits privacy and operational blast radius. RECOMMENDATION: Define separate contracts for local scheduling, shared planning, notification policy, and provider transport; never let a provider receipt become product truth.

FACT: Separate authorities made it possible to keep local reminders independent while remote delivery remained gated or unavailable. INFERENCE: A provider outage should not disable unrelated local functionality. RECOMMENDATION: Keep local schedules client-owned, plan objects link-scoped, notification decisions policy-controlled, and provider transport an outer delivery mechanism.
