A rejected Shot queues for ever — the device is never told it was refused #105

Description

What happens

On hardware, 27 August: a Shot PinPointStudio declines to record stays in this device's queue as still to send, indefinitely. The row never settles and the session cannot be cleared.

Why

There is no way for a host to say it did not keep a Shot. An issued Shot is a fact — I7 makes t0 never-revisable and there is deliberately no withdraw — but a host can still decline to record one, through its corroboration rule or because its pipeline was busy. PPCP has no message for that, so the device waits for a capture_committed that will never come (5.14h), and 5.14g gives the transfer no exit.

⚠ This is the fourth instance of the same gap, which is why it is one item and not four:

Where The statement that cannot be made
A host declining a Shot "I did not keep this"
A device disarmed at the handset "I stopped, and nothing is wrong"
The settle timeout "the source exists and produced nothing" (closed by source_not_delivering)
A stream_open we will not honour yet "declined, not implemented"

What we can do without the protocol

Nothing that makes it correct — but the device should not present an unsendable Capture as actively sending. A transfer with no progress and no acknowledgement is not "Sending 0%".

What actually closes it

shot_disposition — a host states what it did with a Shot. Agreed in shape with PinPointStudio 27 Aug; to be raised jointly after enough real sessions to say how often a host genuinely cannot record. Recorded in the shared learnings document §1.3/§1.4.
