adaptation-over-invention

Status: IN

The codebase consistently repurposes existing abstractions for special cases — Python's min-heap via sign negation for descending order, regular topics as dead-letter queues, first message ID as thread ID — rather than introducing new data structures or infrastructure.

Justifications

both stdlib data structure adaptation and domain abstraction reuse follow the same principle of minimizing new concepts

Depends on (SL): heap-sign-negation-repurposes-min-heap, special-cases-reuse-existing-abstractions
