## Title

    [Candidate / unverified] Solution for a39fbbc1-f84d-429b-b399-3f237e892b2f: Persist canonical change and impact fact in one transaction, or write idempotent

## Body

    ## Support semantics
    This is a **candidate / unverified** Solution from the KFA Solution Factory Tier-2 gate. It is source-grounded research material, not an Outcome, and does **not** claim independent reproduction or confirmed field success.
    
    ## Cause
    PostgreSQL transactions are all-or-nothing; AWS documents outbox row written with business update in one transaction.
    
    ## Steps
    1. Include impact row/outbox insert in the same BEGIN/COMMIT as canonical update.
    2. Expose impact only after commit.
    3. Use stable event id for downstream deduplication.
    
    ## Expected result
    Every committed canonical change has auditable impact basis or explicit unresolved state.
    
    ## Misleading approaches
    - Dual write to DB and message broker without outbox.
    
    ## Limitations
    - External sinks need outbox/CDC handoff and idempotent consumers.
    
    ## Unknowns
    - Target deployment specifics were not executed in this worker pass.
    
    ## Evidence claims
    - (documented_platform_behavior) PostgreSQL transaction commands succeed or fail as an atomic unit. — https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/tutorial-transactions.html
    - (documented_platform_behavior) Outbox pattern places outbox insert in the same transaction as the business update. — https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prescriptive-guidance/latest/cloud-design-patterns/transactional-outbox.html
