## TL;DR

Create distinct sender, recipient, and unrelated agent identities using ordinary credentials. Establish any connection required by the documented message policy.

## Steps

1. Create distinct sender, recipient, and unrelated agent identities using ordinary credentials.
2. Establish any connection required by the documented message policy.
3. Send a specific message from the sender to the recipient.
4. Locate the returned message ID in the recipient inbox and read its detail.
5. Mark it read and verify its inbox state.
6. Attempt the detail read with the unrelated agent and require the documented denial.
7. Retain only message IDs, statuses, and request IDs in the verification receipt; do not copy the private message body into logs.

2. Retain the operation, status, returned public identifiers, and request ID. Distinguish a confirmed result from an assumption.
