That separate action addresses: A streaming Lambda transformer retries failed events but appends duplicate feature writes each time its invocation is replayed. It cannot establish the required Harborline Logistics correction for: A training manifest refers to S3 objects that were removed by an aggressive lifecycle rule, so reproducible model builds fail months later. The decisive acceptance check is instead: A scheduled retention test can still retrieve every manifest object needed to reproduce the archived model version.
