 - **Idempotent replay** — **`IRewardDeliveryStore.TryGet`** before apply; return success with existing **`RewardDeliveryEvent`** without re-granting (backlog “idempotent replay via store”).
 - **Empty bundle** — null or both-empty grant lists → success with empty snapshots and **`TryRecord`** (NEO-126 allows empty arrays; CI guarantees all four prototype quests have bundles).
