An independently created sender can discover an opted-in recipient and submit a fixed first-contact request without a pre-shared delivery grant. The recipient explicitly approves or rejects it; approval binds the original request, both parties, the node/epoch and a real finite delivery reservation. Python and native TypeScript use real dual-key possession challenges and durable request/result/replay capacity in the existing protected transport database.
This also fixes CONTACT-01: after a policy update, retained requests from the old policy no longer hide valid current requests. Both runtimes validate within the original transaction before applying the four-item / 16 KiB output limit, scan at most the existing 32 retained rows, and preserve old evidence, charges and authorization rejection.

send/receiveremain unsupported. This preview provides first contact, explicit decisions and finite authority; encrypted delivery, both receipt types, cold mailbox discovery, offline repair and broader global acceptance continue in subsequent development. Requests and grants do not create Memory, author trust, execution rights or reverse-chat authority.
