Gateway And Ownership

This surface is a direct-send delivery lane. It does not join gateway run or the gateway-owned reply-loop contract today.

Operator Notes

This surface is SMTP send today. The catalog still tracks an IMAP-style serve contract, but it is not a shipped runtime surface yet.
The outbound subject is derived from the first non-empty line of the body.

Continue to Channel Guides for the full shipped channel matrix.
Continue to Channels for the conceptual surface model.
Continue to Channel Setup for the shared public setup contract.
