Status: OUT
Ordering and position infrastructure is broken or volatile at every layer: WAL sequence numbers are diligently computed and stored but never consulted during recovery, event sourcing conflates stream-scoped and global position IDs creating addressing ambiguity, and CDC consumer positions exist only in memory and are lost on restart — no ordering mechanism in the codebase reliably serves its intended purpose.
Three independent ordering/position mechanisms across storage, event sourcing, and CDC each fail differently (unused, conflated, volatile), revealing a systematic inability to maintain reliable ordered cursors
