Running-late Approval

Before preparing delegation or invoking running-late, read the complete skills/tessie-running-late/references/host-contract.md contract.

Native Authority

• Use only the co-shipped native running-late workflow; no provider calls, context flags or approval/receipt JSON.
• An owner-requested pre-event proposal grants nothing until the actual private owner callback resolves against that exact event, recipient, sender account, template and expiry.

Shared Delivery Budget

• At most TWO automatic lateness messages TOTAL per event across owner and recipient channels. An owner notice plus recipient email leaves no follow-up slot.
• Failed/uncertain attempts consume slots. Never resend, reset history, wake a vehicle or send another model-generated notification after the native poll.

Held Operations

• The owner can cancel delegation without resetting history.
• Missing/unknown native contracts, state or grants hold the action.
• Source publication is not native acceptance.
