No pause between two failed asks runs past the bound (two minutes): the ask at the bound raises first-view-unanswered and releases the held events, well inside the events consumer's five deliveries of 30 s. An answer's binding is taken as it lists it, with no fallback to an event's types (§4). Checks: the unit start row requires the raise at exactly the bound; the whole test says the created before the bound and requires the condition raised when it is applied (fails without the process's hold), and waits on the kept first-views status for the held answer instead of a sleep.
