Controllers need storage for facts that outlive a message: which operation is pending, which acknowledgements remain, where accepted data is protected, and which completion allows reuse. This topic connects those facts to a small controller architecture.

|---|---|
Separate core miss tracking from home transaction tracking. | |
Require every completion condition, not whichever one arrives first. | |
Distinguish acceptance, rejection and buffer capacity. | |
