 **A write and the event announcing it commit together — the transactional outbox.** A repository that publishes an entity event does not commit the row and then call the broker: it hands the topic to the write itself (`save(entity, topic)`, `update(entity, topic[, extraEvents])`, `updateProperties(id, values, topic)`, `delete(entity, topic)`, `deleteById(id, topic)`), which records the event in the tenant's `DIRIGIBLE_EVENT_OUTBOX` **on the write's own connection, inside its transaction**, and only then — after the commit — hands it to the broker in-process. Two failures die with this: an event lost for good because the broker was briefly down while its row committed anyway (nothing retried it), and a `500` raised to a REST caller whose write had actually succeeded, inviting a retry that duplicated the record (issue #6816). What the in-process dispatch cannot deliver simply stays in the table, and `EventOutboxRelayJob` retries it per tenant every `DIRIGIBLE_EVENT_OUTBOX_RELAY_INTERVAL_SECONDS` (30) for entries idle longer than `DIRIGIBLE_EVENT_OUTBOX_RELAY_GRACE_SECONDS` (60). Consequences to keep in mind:
 
 - **Delivery is at-least-once, not exactly-once.** "Sent" is only known once the entry is gone, so an entry published just before the node died is published again. Handlers must tolerate a repeat — which the generated glue already does, since it recomputes from the store rather than accumulating.
-- **`Producer.sendToTopic` in hand-written client code is still a bare publish** with none of this. It is the raw messaging API; the outbox is reached only by giving a *write* its topic. Announce an entity change through its repository, not by publishing next to it.
+- **`Producer.sendToTopic` in hand-written client code is still a bare publish** with none of this. It is the raw messaging API; the outbox is reached only by giving a *write* its topic. Announce an entity change through its repository, not by publishing next to it. For an announcement that is deliberately DECOUPLED from any single write - deferred past a workflow chain's commit, or ordered after several transactions - use **`Producer.sendToTopicDurable`**: the message is recorded in the outbox in its own short transaction and the relay retries whatever the broker refuses, so an outage delays it instead of losing it (at-least-once; the generated deferred publishes - setField, Writer, Numbering, step events, the create-from completion announce - all use it).
 - **The event's payload is the row as the transaction left it** — read back on the write's own connection for the targeted path, never a re-read afterwards that a concurrent write could have moved on. On a `multilingual: true` entity that means the untranslated row: an event carries canonical data, not the writer's `Accept-Language`.
 - **A repository that overrides targeted writes must override the event-carrying form.** `updateProperties(id, values, topic)` is where a generated repository hangs its declarative checks, stored label and document resum; the plain two-argument form delegates to it. The base two-argument form deliberately does NOT re-dispatch, because `recalculate` reaches it through `super` precisely to bypass those semantics.
 - **No outbox, no write.** If the entry cannot be recorded the transaction fails, which is the whole contract: a row whose event was never recorded is exactly the state this replaces. `JavaEventOutboxIT` covers both halves — an ordinary create reaching its listener, and an entry only the relay can deliver.
