CONTACT_INBOX_FULL

HTTP 503

The deployment is unable to serve this right now

The durable contact inbox is at capacity.

How to fix it (contract guidance)

Stop and report the full inbox; repeated submissions cannot create a receipt until the operator triages it.

Observed recovery

Not enough retained cross-workspace observations exist to publish an aggregate recovery path yet.

Publication requires at least 3 distinct workspaces. This is withheld data, not evidence that no recovery happened.
