Move a poison message to a dead-letter queue: The source is deleted without a dead-letter destination · case 04
The queue dead letter operation is admitted even though the source is deleted without a dead-letter destination.
Case contract
Return a Boolean admission decision for move a poison message to a dead-letter queue. The record r must satisfy all of: r['attempt_threshold'][0] >= r['attempt_threshold'][1]; r['destination_exists'] is True; r['transfer_persisted'] is True; r['cycle_detection'][0] not in r['cycle_detection'][1]; r['original_identity'][0] == r['original_identity'][1]. Extra tracing fields are ignored; validation does not mutate the record.
Why this case matters
A deterministic local contract for queues. Each negative fixture violates exactly one invariant. No transport timing, persistence, cryptographic verification, or full protocol implementation is claimed.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| The source is deleted without a dead-letter destination | true | false | Failed |
