Declarations queue and the host applies all of them, oldest first, so a
machine pushed five things in a minute spends five applies becoming the
last one. Correct every step — each declaration is the whole machine —
and wasted in all but the final step.
Only visible since a report names its declaration: the reports arriving
were about ever-older ones, while timestamp comparisons used to happen
to pass. The fix is consumption order, not the queue; the open question
is what a superseded declaration's report should say, because silence
reads as disobedience and "applied" would be a lie.
